Last week I spoke to a group of Honors Students at the University of Northwestern – St. Paul. The topic was “Social, Cultural, and Spiritual Issues in China and Implications for Teaching.”
To get things going I showed them these fantastic graphic representations of cultural differences between east and west. I’ve actually used them in cross-cultural training for years, but am just now getting around to posting about them. Whether the audience is western or Chinese, they always generate lots of interesting discussion. (blue – west, red = east)
They were done by a Chinese artist who has lived and worked in Germany for many years. You can read an interview with her here.
Fascinating! Thank you!
Do you mind labeling the colors…
Yes, blue is west and red is east. Sorry about that.
That explains a few things!
