1、Chapter 9 Family May 15th of 2006 is the eleventh International Family Day.Since 1980s,the number of the families in the world has been increasing greatly;while the family scales have been shrinking steadily,and peoples conception of family has changed a lot.All of these changes bring about a great
2、shock to the whole society along.In this chapter we will mainly talk about the families of the two cultures from the following aspects:1.Residence and Privacy 2.Parents and Children3.Housework4.Family Structure.Residence and Privacy1.There is always a big or small yard in most western homes,with som
3、e bushes around the yard.But there seldom is any tall and big enclosing wall.Many Americans just use some curtains or shutters to separate the inside from the outside.While in China,the houses are always enclosed by a very tall and big wall,which often separates the inside world apart from the outsi
4、de completely.From the outside world,people can just see the roof.Behind the tall wall,there is a shorter one,with a wooden screen separating the outside from the inside again.2.As for the inside arrangements of the house,there are also some differences.The westerners put on much stress on their per
5、sonal space.Therefore,respectively there is a door in the bathroom,bedroom,sitting-room or even the kitchen.Nobody can invade anyone elses personal space:parents have no the freedom to enter the childrens room,and the same with the children.In many Chinese families,unless there are married children,
6、there are few personal rights.Some Chinese children,even with a big house,may stay with their parents until several years old.Parents can interfere in their childrens affairs,and children also have the right to use their parents articles.When the children break something,their parents may blame them
7、 for the breaking but not for their privacy.Parents and Children On the relationship between the parents andchildren,there are a lot of differences betweenthe two cultures.1.The Westerners pay much attention to their childrens rights.This can be embodied in so many organizations for children,such as
8、 the Childrens Welfare Association mentioned in the movie Guasha.While in China,parents are in full charge of their children.2.In the Western countries,parents may learn from their children,especially,they are proud of this behavior.The important thing for the parents is what they should do for thei
9、r children.The Chinese parents seldom learn from their children.What they stress is what can their children do for them,even when the children are learning for their future,they may put on this mission-for their parents sake.3.For the above reason,in China,only the financial support for the parents
10、is far from enough.The children must keep in mind that their parents are always right.And whenever and wherever they are,they should manage to meet their parents desire and make sure of their safety.When parents can not get well along with his wife,a man even may divorce for his parents sake.4.The o
11、ther difference is reflected in the attitudes towards toys.When the child breaks a toy,the Chinese mother may punish her child,while the American mother may praise the child for his or her creativity.In China,a toy may be kept for several years,even,several generations.An American mother may think o
12、f it as signals of being slow.5.When westerners talk about their family,they often refer to their parents and the unmarried siblings.While when it comes to Chinese,they may also include their grandparents and other even married relatives.They may not live together,but they are often in the same vill
13、age or the near one,which is our Chinese tradition.The westerners often live far away from each other,only to gather on festivals or holidays.6.Due to the difference in No.5,children contact with not only their parents and siblings,but also other relatives,which means they have a relatively bigger i
14、nterpersonal and educational circle.For example,in China,all members of the elder generation can instruct a child,but in western countries,its only the parents duty.7.Another difference is,in China,parents and children depend on each other closely.For example,in China,a son must support his father(s
15、ome big families with large capital),and the father should also support his son.8.Generation gap is a very serious problem in western countries.Because parents always can not agree with their children in many aspects like clothes,hairstyle,job,friends or marriage.Many children may leave their home,d
16、rop out of school or even take drugs.It is also a main cause of the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Housework In Britain,apart from some young men,the conservative men will never do housework.They think doing housework is the wifes task and they consider it ashamed.Therefore in Bri
17、tain,many men would like to read newspapers on sofa or watch TV rather than help their wives to do something.While in America,husbands may always help their wives clean the house or look after their children.At leisure,American husbands often play with their children and teach them some athletic ski
