The Chinese have a wonderful culture, because they are one of the fastest growing countries of the World today. China's advancement and civilization beats ones imagination to her sudden growth. There is no doubt however, that her economy is drawing closer to probably become the world's Leader soon.
Apart from the fact that Chinese teens accepted the adaptation of modernization in all aspect of their activities, there is no doubt saying that they have also adjusted this to their old culture, without thinking that this generation of children would lead her coming generation to a state of cultural annihilation. Her social cultural involvement with other countries of the world has tremendously influenced their way of communication, dressing, facial changes and almost everything around them. The improvement in manufacturing of electronics and electrical appliances like MP3, MP4, cell phones and Video games etc, have led some of this teen involving themselves in entrepreneurship.
Great emphasis is paid to education and socialization. A typical Chinese teen is no different from her American counterpart. Some of them live in homes occupied with their extended families, and parent, and assist their parents in the home chores such as cooking and other domestic activities. With the range of changes around the world, they seem to adapt faster to Western civilization and tend to live like other Westernized teen of various countries of the world. They go to school, discuss career choice with their friends and family, and probably choose a career that suits them.
Many of them resort to using the Internet as means of communication, and transfer of information like their American peers. This involvement in the cyber age has contributed in broadening their initiatives towards computer technology. Some of these teens are seen to have developed microcomputers, as a means of displaying their technological flare inherent in their discovery.
Their personality seems to display same similarities to that of the average American teen. The gap differences between them and their fellow Chinese counterpart differ in great extent. The modern Chinese girl, who is use to the modern way of life such as getting along with the latest style of clothing, will hardly communicate to her female peer who lives in the rural areas. The differences between them are so pronounced that they tend not to compromise their awareness to their fellow peer whom they consider to be unaware.
