Literacy, culture

Literacy teachs me much. I can speak both English and Chinese, as I stay in different countries, I feel much difference between two culture. We have defferent on the way we talking, sociality. For example Chinese do not say much when people meet, usually we just say "hello", but American talk much, like"how is going", and Chinese hardly have a party, people in China living kind of "silently". Also, much difference can be notice in social behavior, for instance Chinese are told to have manners, they cannot do what they want in public area, but American live freely, people can go outside with slippers, they sleep outside on grass, sit on ground, it is a easier way of life, and there are much more difference in culture, these are all literacy brings us.
