Different Morality?
There is no word in the Chinese language for "dignity", "integrity" or "hypocrisy". As Americans we judge people buy these words or the way they conduct themselves. Just because there is no word for integrity or hypocrisy
in Mandarin Chinese, doesn't mean that people don't act these ways. I began thinking from a Chinese persons view point: The person that i am dealing with treats me a certain way, it is either good or bad. And to me that is how i will remember that person. I think that people in China accept themselves and others for who they are easier than Americans. It seems that Chinese people are more defined in who they are and can live with it. In America, there's always something more, something driving us to be people who we aren't.
