There are a lot of cultural differences
between Japan and America. When I talk to American , I felt culture shock at
the first. American look eye and talk. Japanese don’t it. That is eye contact. Eye
contact is very important in America. Eye contact means to respect for each
other. My professor Mike thought us it. I think so too. If I talk to friend,
then the friend don’t speak and use the smartphone. Maybe I will fell so bad. But
that is normal in Japan. Because I do it. And I am done it. I will stop it,
when I come back my home. Class is different from japan. American is very talkative.
Because class need to talk my opinion. Maybe many Japanese people hate it. I hate
it too. But I think good things. Japanese people is to read the situation. Because
other people think that Japanese haven’t my opinion. I always think that Japanese
people become actively.
Acting and behaving like American is difficult, but necessary for us to live and survive in America, I guess. it I know eye contact is important in America, but it is still a little embarrassing for me!
