[quote=GUEST64236,420555]I'll have to mostly agree with the 5 triats much to other ppl's surprise, it might sound surprising but i think it takes a chinese person or close to a chinese person to know these traits(or someone who spends alot fo time with chinese people). 1) IDK if its like a greatly known chinese trait but it is a chinese trait nontheless, my parents always read the newpapers(I know almost everyone else does but like i said you have to be chinese to understand the whole thing and dig deeper) and I know like a bunch of relatives and friends who do too and watch the news all day and one in perticular talks about news all day if you try to have a convo with him. 2) Also much to people's surprise this is also true and in my experience more true than the first trait. My dad in perticular is a very stubborn and very much a abusive person. I have been through alot in my chinese family and since i come from one of the less "enjoyable" chinese families i say this is pretty much true. I know this sounds like me saying this based on my own life but 1 chinese family's life is basically the same compared to others just in matter of how extreme it is, mine is one of the more extreme examples. My dad and I always argue no matter what and he is the most stubborn person I know, even when he know's he is wrong he will try to avoid amitting it and never has to me once, since im a teen that lives in the us i been influence by the american way and has for the most part amit my wrongs(I also have slight depression which is why i always blame things on myself). Not just my dad but alot of chinese people have pride and dignity so alot will not as likely to amit there wrongs as other people will, just that my dad is more extreme in terms of dignity. This also seems like a universal thing which if you think about it almost every trait is universal trait but what differs areas with different traits is percentage of people with that and for the most part a great number of chinese people through my experiences have some degree of this trait. 3) This trait is probably one of the "iffy" traits as where i dont really have any proof or any background experience or knowledge to back me up but for me personally i do tend to do that alot in school work or in anything in general, its something i feel grew stronger as i grew up and now tends to be a really bad habit of mine. This could just be me so im not 100% sure its ALL/most chinese people's trait. [/quote]
