Even in higher education, China students have less specialty to choose and it always be intervened by parents and other social views. Once they have chosen their specialty, change the specialty will always not easy and transformation for school is almost impossible.
There is an interesting study on Chinese and American university students who study marketing, from a specific perspective. They want to find the different attitude to academic dishonesty of two countries’ students, by comparing them from cross-cultural way. Chinese as well as American business colleges are trying to improve morality of their students due to recent scandals. This research investigates several factors and certain demographic variables that might contribute to the academic dishonesty of American and Chinese marketing students.
This study found that American marketing students who are young, relativistic, less religious, opportunistic, tolerant, detached, and negative tend to believe that academic dishonesty is more acceptable than do their counterparts exhibiting the opposite characteristics. Chinese marketing students who are male, detached, relativistic, less religious, opportunistic, and behaviorist oriented tend to perceive that academic dishonesty is more acceptable than do their counterparts. The results also reveal that the Chinese marketing students are more tolerant and detached than are the American marketing students, and they are less sensitive to the acceptance of academic dishonesty than are the American students.

Due to the different education methods lead to the various results, and make students from different perspectives to judging on one thing, eventually, they may have different attitude on one thing. Therefore, the research thesis I just mentioned is also a good evidence to describe the detailed education difference between China and America.
According to all the economic and cultural difference between China and America, the typical phenomenon and the possible reasons have been discussed. No matter whether the influence factors can be verified by academic methodologies, there is no doubt that all these difference are created by the different social institution and historical activities.
However, these difference also give us some useful information for the development of both China and America. They can learn something good for its country from each other's strengths, and these communications also will contribute to build a friendly relationship between China and America. In fact, America has built several Confucius Institutes in recent years, it helps to let America people know more about Chinese traditional cultures. At the same time, in China, the number of people who choose to start their highly educations in America is continuously increases in the past few years. Apart from that, the international trading activities between China and America are also become more frequent than before. Therefore, all these facts means that China and America have increasingly economic and cultural communications, and these communications will help two countries achieve a win-win situation.
