On our first lecture, Professor Haldipur was telling us about the importance of education in Indian culture. In which, a family would support their child through education as long as the child wants to pursue. In return, the child is expected to sacrifice for his or her family. I think this is very similar to the Chinese culture where the parents are willing to sacrifice everything possible to ensure that their child is having the best education possible. Similarly, the child is expected to take care of their parents when they are old.
However, I did realize a difference between Indian and Chinese. From what I learned, Indians have hopes all the time; they always believe that they will have better life in the future, whereas the Chinese do not hold their hopes long enough to create a difference. I hope I will keep finding some similarities and differences here and there between these two cultures throughout my trip.
