(them)?Something I Admire about the Western CultureDespite the cultural
conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable
ingredients in the Western culture.First and foremost, the equality between
parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and
the children do not always need to obey their parents 'order, that is, they are
more like close friends.Second, the independent personality. Western people have
a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin
earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.Last, Western
people do not always assess a person according to his background. If only he can
achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. It's a
talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.
