Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise? which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York?s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby people. The local court even served a summons (传票）related to a certain Ms. Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China. Some believe that the unpleasant thing will involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of
discrimination(歧视）against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a society which has a range of many people and things. And in many cases，Chinese dancers are tolerated(容忍）and even appreciated. Meanwhile? the United States is a society based on the rule of law and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result? some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York?s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy quietness. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise down. People from different nations are often supposed to reach agreements，respecting and tolerating each other.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.
