You read about a murder on both a U.S. news site and a Chinese news site. How might the story's focus differ?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: If you are reading a U.S. news site, the story is more likely to focus on the murderer himself—that he "had a psychological problem" or "had a short fuse." If you are reading a Chinese news site, however, it is more likely to mention the situation—"the gunman had been recently fired" or "the murder can be traced to the availability of guns."
