Differences in US and China profiles

A couple of striking differences between Chinese and American internet users:


  • Chinese users regularly use photoshop to touch up their pictures.

  • Chinese users don't mind their picture to be blurred.

  • American users look straight into the camera, in contrast to their Asian counterparts.


(vc). Children nowadays get to meet people from other cultures at an early age. They start speaking different languages much earlier than their parents did. They get an early consciousness of the cultural differences between people. But humans mostly learn their own behavior by looking at other people, and imitating them. If in the future all toddlers in the world are connected, we can expect very special developments. The result in the long run will be that human behavior worldwide will be identical, and in the end there will be one culture. This however will take at least another hundred years.
