C C Consultants has created a unique comparative culture course entitled
Western Civilization with Chinese Comparisons [WCwCC]. This course was
originally developed specifically for the School of English and International
Studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Since 2003 this course has
been required for all graduate students in English, whose programs
concentrate in specializations as varied as linguistics, translation,
literature, diplomacy, or area studies (American, British, Australian,
Canadian, or Irish).

Experience has confirmed that the best way to learn about an unfamiliar
culture is by putting it side by side with a culture that one knows from the
inside. The sourcebook brings together carefully balanced texts to
represent the ideas and practices that have been dominant in both China
and the West, both traditionally and in modern times.

Because comparative culture studies can work in either direction, the
co-authors are now testing their materials for use in the West as
Comparing China and the West. They have given demonstration lectures
in China, Ireland, Switzerland, and the USA, including teaching a model
semester course there in the context of general education. Currently
they are at work on a short book that can help Western readers make
sense of China today. The readings in WCwCC provide basic evidence to
support their observations.
