In the context of globalization and the increasingly frequent intercultural communication, the author illustrated some of the typical cultural differences between China and the US, bearing in mind that cultural knowledge is one of the indispensable element for developing intercultural communicative competence.

Культурные различия между цивилизациями Востока и Запада заметны в системе декларируемых ценностей и во многих аспектах повседневной жизни. Это касается и подхода к плену, что наглядно продемонстрировали события первых лет после окончания Второй мировой войны. Примером этого может служить обращение с бывшими солдатами японской и немецкой армий, попавшими в плен после окончания войны, после их возвращения на родину. Поэтому цель данной статьи – показать источники этих различий и, в меньшей степени, примеры поведения, вызванного ими. Анализ, проведенный в тексте, заключался в ссылке на исторические, экономические, социальные, религиозные или психологические условия, которые, взаимопроникая друг друга, привели к возникновению разного восприятия роли человека в обществе и его обязательств перед обществом. Эти условия определили особенности отношения представителей каждой культуры в сложных военных и послевоенных условиях. Объясняя готовность приносить в жертву солдат японской армии и важность чести для них, была сделана ссылка на влияние конфуцианства, буддизма, синтоизма и традиции бусидо. Следовательно, показ глубоко укоренившихся причин отношения, описанного в статье, должен был дать возможность их объяснения.

Cultural differences between Western and Eastern civilizations are noticeable in the system of professed values and in many aspects of life. This also applies to the approach to captives, which was clearly demonstrated by the events of the first years after the end of World War II. An example could be the way in which former Japanese and German soldiers, who were captured after the end of the war, were treated after their return to homeland. This article aims to show the sources of these differences and, to a lesser extent, examples of behaviors which they caused. The analysis consists of references to historical, economic, social, religious, and psychological conditions, which, as intertwined, resulted in the emergence of different perceptions of an individual’s role in a society and his obligations toward the community. These conditions determined the specific attitudes of representatives of each culture in difficult war and post-war circumstances. Explaining the Japanese soldiers’ willingness to sacrifice and the importance of honor for them, reference was made to the influences of Confucianism, Buddhism, Shinto, and the bushido tradition. Showing the deeply rooted reasons for the attitudes described in the article was therefore supposed to enable their explanation.
