How culture influences communication patterns
As two powerhouse Asian countries with
fascinating histories and cultures, what
similarities and differences might we
uncover between the Chinese and the
Japanese? Take for example, that Chinese
characters originated from the Japanese, or
that one is influenced by Buddhism and the
other by Confucianism.

“The summer before my senior year at Marist, I decided to go
on a [spring attachment] trip with Professor Sengupta…The
memories I have from this trip are truly unique and Professor
Sengupta made the trip even more enjoyable with his sense
of humor and love for travel.” ~ Kasey Plotkin (2014 program
participant)
