Culture is defined as the symbols, values, material artifacts, and rules of behavior that a society or group collectively creates and uses. This movie was about a Chinese family that was falsely accused of child abuse in America.

Some of the similarities that I noticed in this movie are:

• Both children enjoy playing video games
• Families share similar family morals
• Read to children at bed time
• Bed time stories have a lesson to be learned in them
• Care for their children with their "all"
• Father & mother's love for their children
• Parents only want the best for their children and all of their dreams to come true
• Parents work together for the well being of their children
• Parents will risk their life for their children
• Parents will lie to their children to protect them

All of these similarities can be seen in families from different cultures. Just because a family is from a different culture doesn't mean they don't share some cultural similarities.

Some of the differences that I noticed in this movie are:

• Different forms of child discipline
• The Chinese smoke while eating their meal
• People from the Chinese culture eat their meals with chopsticks
• People from the Chinese culture place their food in the middle of the table and they all share from the same dish and put it in their own dish.
• Chinese culture has different forms of medication and treatments for illnesses
• People from the Chinese culture are extremely protective of their families
• The Chinese culture believe in "honor" and incorporate it into everything they do
• People from the Chinese culture express their emotions much differently (they hide and control their emotions)
• Everything in the Chinese culture involves respect (of people, objects, language, and beliefs)
• Chinese people feel they will be treated unfairly in America because of the cultural differences.
