44、or Canada, which has many national religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism(个人主义)the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do n
45、ot memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perha
46、ps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient（东方） reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism.

47、al （正式）. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.

The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline（纪律） and self-control. Ther

Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn
50、 to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is , however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have. students in the US and (71)_students in C
