What do you like about American manners? What do you dislike?
While I am staying the UWEC, I am really startled by classroom etiquete bettween student and teacher. Unlike our country, the relationship between student and teacher is less formal than our country do. I think that American students do not have a difficulty to express thier opinions against teacher's during the class. Teacher, also, does not seem to dislike this kind of behavior. Instead, teacher encourage students to express their opinions. However, in our country, it is normally accepted that even if teacher's opinion is different from my opinion, we should not prevail our opinion against teacher because we believe that it is so rude. Due to this kind of education environment in the USA, most American students would have a more progressive attitude toward their class.
I don't understand ther reason why I have to pay 'Tip' in restaurant. I heard that paying tip is an expression about receiving a good serving. I also agree that paying tip is a good manner but it makes customer uncomfortable. In our country, the tip is included in the price of food. Therefore, we do not need to consider how much we have to pay for tip and the worker who serves food also do not need to care the money which they will receive from customer because they will receive their serving fee from employer.
