Discussion
I noticed that both of our reactions were similar, however American students were less likely to be angry. I think that this is because we value free speech and are okay with others speaking their mind. Are there any opinions that you feel are repressed/not allowed in your country?
在我看来，两国学生都不会同意这种看法，但美国学生与中国学生的差别在于美国学生会让批评自己国家的人保持自己的观点，更注意言论自由，而中国学生多数会感到生气，继而急于纠正他人看法，不注意倾听和思考。这些差别，就体现出两国教育的差别。
我发现当这种事情发生时，两国学生的反应基本上差不多。但是中国学生会因为强烈的爱国热忱而生气，有的同学也会冷静下来纠正对方的不对之处来维护国家形象。但是美国学生会觉得不应该生气，这就体现出两国的思想以及教育的差异，并且我认为一个外国人不应该批评我的国家，当然我也不会随意批评对方的国家。
I think that the reaction between countries is the same. No matter if you are American or Chinese, it is hurtful when someone insults your country so it is natural for you to respond strongly. I think this is a universal human trait- not one that is only American or Chinese.
