The document discusses cultural differences between Eastern and Western cultures as portrayed in a series of graphics by Chinese artist Yang Liu. The graphics show differences in areas such as personal space, family and elder relationships, punctuality, beauty standards, dining customs, and modes of transportation between China and Western countries like Germany. Studying these cultural differences helps people better understand societies outside their own and avoid unintentionally causing offense.
