Culture

My favorite definition of culture is "Culture is like water a fish swim in" It states that it is difficult for us to learn culture because it is an extremely ambiguous thing.

When I took a class in the United States for the first time, I was really surprised by the cultural differences because American students were really aggressive compared to Japanese students.

Basically, American students like discussing and asking questions during the class. Furthermore, if we want to get high grades, we have to be good question asker.

On the other hand, in japan, we have to ask questions after the class or before the class because the professor has high authorities in the class room. That is why most Japanese had a lot of difficulty adapting to the class in the United States for the first time because of the cultural differences.
