In any classroom in any country, the instructor teaches

　　more than just art or history or language. Part of

　　what is going on——consciously or not——is the teaching of culture:

　　the attitudes, values and beliefs in the society. 1.

　　Every education system is inevitably a mirror

　　that reflects the culture of the society it is a part. 2.

　　In many western countries, such as the United States or Canada,

　　which are made up of many different nations, 3.

　　religious groups and cultural orientations, individualism

　　and dependent thinking are highly valued. 4.

　　And these values are reflected by education systems

　　in these countries. Teachers emphasize the qualities

　　that let each student special. Students are seldom 5.

　　expected to memorize information; however, 6.

　　they are encouraged to think for themselves, find answers

　　on their own and come up with individual solutions.

　　At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas

　　and opinions, and to express their ideas when class discussion. 7.

　　In Japan, in contrast, the vast majority of people share 8.

　　the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason,

　　the education system here reflects a belief in 9.

　　group goals and traditions than individualism. 10.
