我发现中美两国学生都会觉得与家人在一起，进入大学生活和变得更好有意义，然后也有特立独行的同学比 如战争和违纪的事情，然后美国学生大多基于目前，而中国学生有提及对对象及对未来。总体差异不大
然后我想问，为什么会有美国同学觉得战争是有意义的事？
中国学生和美国学生的回答都分别出现了家庭和学校两个词，由此可见中国学生和美国学生都重视家庭和学业。为什么美国学生认为获得生命是件有意义的事？
中美两国同学都觉得与家人和自己喜欢的朋友在一起，以及高中毕业进入大学是很有意义的事，中国学生相比美国学生还喜欢一些对社会有益的事，如做志愿者，去敬老院看老人，献血，美国学生喜欢一些比较刺激的事，如战争。我想问美国学生的是:是不是觉得祖母去世是上了天堂，完美的过完了一生，所以觉得祖母去世是有意义的事情呢？
In war, you are able to form a bond unlike no other. You are protecting your brothers as they protect you. Many veterans of the United States Military hate leaving the fast-paced disciplined lifestyle of the military and can become upset as they age because they can no longer do what they once could. I continue to see this first hand with both of my grandfathers and with my cousins.
One recurring theme in both the American and Chinese responses was both family and friends. Clearly family plays a key role in both of our culture. Another thing that i noticed was that multiple Chinese students put things such as volunteering or donating blood as their most significant events in their life. One question I had after reading these was : How often do you Volunteer in China?
其实多久一次做志愿者也没有固定的时间，只是碰到合适的机会就会去。
