[quote=CHYNAGYRL,240410]Can you please not put all Westerners in the same category?  Canadians are not the same as Americans. >:-(    I find that many Australians and Americans have similar communication style (brash, straight forward), while Canadians are too polite and apathetic.  We're passive, whereas Americans are aggressive.  Canadians and Kiwis have a lot in a common, and Brits or Irish are not the same as Americans either!

In Asian society people are nice out of "duty", whereas in Canada people are nice because they really want to.  If they like you, they'll help you, if they don't want to, they won't help you.  Chinese people (I find) place greater importance on their families, which is good, but they don't care about lots of people (ie disabled people).  Chinese families understand well that love involves sacrifice of your own desires sometimes for the good of the whole, that aspect of having responsibility for others.   ie.  However, my parents told me that you can be responsible for someone but not love them that much.  Love also means allowing others the freedom to achieve their own hopes and dreams, ie removing your expectations from them and allowing them to follow their own path.[/quote]
