[quote=CHYNAGYRL,245829]A lot of students have complained to me about the problem (stemming from Confucianism) which you mentioned above. I see it as a real problem in Asian society. The people with power become hypocrites (because of unlimited power and status), and the younger people lack confidence in their abilities. The hierarchical age system encourages older people to "lord it" over younger people. I have seen bosses treat their employees really badly and professors treat their students with arrogance, and this really surprised me because it's not acceptable in a Western country. I like the Western system more because people of different ages can be good friends (putting aside status), and also Western teachers and bosses tend to be more respectful towards younger people. It doesn't matter how old or how young you are, you need to respect others as a human being. The other thing is -- Americans in particular smile more than Chinese people. They have the big, broad smiles like they think everything will be ok. Chinese people do not smile as much, they are more reserved -- maybe because they have endured many hardships during their long history.[/quote]
