英语论文 从中国和美国的家庭结构和关系比较研究家庭价值观

中美家庭之间的差异英语作文English:In general, there are several differences between Chinese and American families. One of the main differences lies in the structure of the family. Traditional Chinese families tend to have a more hierarchical structure with clear roles and responsibilities for each family member based on age and seniority. In contrast, American families tend to have a more egalitarian structure, with family members having more equal rights, responsibilities, and decision-making power. Another difference lies in the concept of independence. Chinese families often emphasize the importance of interdependence and the collective well-being, while American families tend to place a greater emphasis on individualism and independence. Additionally, the approach to education and parenting differs between the two cultures. Chinese parents often place a strong emphasis on academic success and may have high expectations for their children, while American parents often prioritize the development of their children's creativity, critical thinking skills, and independence.中文翻译:总的来说，中美家庭之间存在几个不同之处。

Ⅰ.IntroductionFamily is the most basic unit of all human society. It reflects the ethical values of a society, its cultural characteristicsand the unique features of a nation. People begin to learn anything about the world and their culture through the family they are brought up in. What you think, how you act, even your language, are all transmitted through the family from the wider cultural context.Family values are the core in the research of cultural values, and it has a huge influence on people’s thoughts and behaviors. So if we want to get a glimpse of the cultures of two different countries, it is necessary to know their different family values. In this paper we will analyze family values from different aspects,including the decisive family values, the attitude to the family members and their relationships,and the influences of family values.Ⅱ.The differences of family values.A.The individualism VS. the collectivismThe American emphasize the personal independence,while Chinese emphasize on the whole family, not any individual member.Children in America have more freedom than that in China.Their parents rarely interfere with their private affairs, and usual ly try to enhance children’s all-around abilitieswhen they are young. They handle their own affairs themselves and try to get support from their colleagues or experts who work inthe relevant field, and their family members only give suggestions to them.The key point of its society is freedom.Obviously, we Chinese paymore attention to the interest of whole family than that of any individual’s. In China, children usually live with their parents even after they are grown-up,since Chinese people want a more united family and closer relationship between family members. The living style in China is different compared with that in America. Chinese people like to live with their parents and they think this kind of living style may help them have more opportunity to understand other family members. This kind of living style can narrow the gap between family members andwhen anybody faceswith a problem, the others can help him effectively and efficiently. The living style also reflects that Chinese people mainly emphasize the whole family but not the individuals, which is quite different from Americans.B.The attitude to the family members and theirrelationships in China and America.Chinese people have a big family with variety of relatives, which may be easy to cause competition and suspicion. So in order to maintain order and family harmony, they particularly advocate showing respect to their seniority in the light of thetheory of law and discipline rite of Confucius. And 'Act you role well' is the key to a harmonious family relationship. All the family members should be ranked strictly and according to their position in the family hierarchy they would be treated separately and be required to do what they should do. So in traditional Chinese family, the elder is highly respected. Parents bring up their children, then after parents are getting old, it is their children’s responsibility and duty to care for them and give them both material and spiritual support. In the traditional Chinese family, father was always the centre. It is not because the feudal concept that man is superior to woman, but also for what man has earned is the main source of family’s incoming and usually man earns more money than woman. And woman is responsible for the family house working. Though most household affairs are solved and decided by mother, the most important thing related to the whole family are determined by father. Between parents and children, parents are given more privilege and right to control their children. To most Chinese parents, a good child means to be obedient and docile. It is normal for parents to arrange everything for their children.To Americans, it is normal that parents and children are separate; reunion is abnormal. Parents bring up children and thechildren continue to raise the offspring, so the aged is expelled to the society. For the attitude to bring up the children, American parents consider that they have the legal liability, but in a sense, the children should take responsibility for their behaviors. Americans sniff at the concept of filial piety and think it restrains their self-awareness and ego-development. Parents and their children don't need dependency relationship. In contrast, they should establish a kind of allowance system so as to instill the basic concept of self-dignity and self-love into their children. As a result, although children would be grateful for their parents' favors, they do not think they have the obligation to pay back. In America, if the parents still live together with their adult children, they should pay board wages and accommodation fee to children. And the same to their adult children who still live with their parents.The primary purpose of an American family is to advance the happiness, the equality and the freedom of every family member. Americans praise self-centered and deal with the family members and family affairs rationally. For the sake of themselves, they deem that family should make sacrifice. Family’s hon or and unity are less important than that in Chinese society.In an American family, the democratic idea of equality isprevalent. Father and mother have equal right to make decision on family affairs and their children are given right to vote.C. Comparison of life style influenced by family values1. Different Financial StyleIn China，family members are financially dependent，that is to say all of the family members should help each other，especially when he or she meets the financial problems，which seems that people have the responsibility for helping their family members to overcome the difficulties. During the daily life，children should take careof their old parents financially even parents have the possibility torely on themselves.In America,familymembers are financially independent. Americans appreciate the individuality which requires them at first to get an independent financial freedom. That means they do not rely on their parents or family members when they grow up. Sometimes American thinks it is a kind of shame to be supported by their kind red members. That is the reason why in the case the father and the son felt at ease when they bought tickets for each other.2. Different Life StyleIn China ,a stable life style is much appreciated by people. As it has already been discussed above, the strong family tie in Chinahas been taken its shape for thousand years long. Familymembersand relatives prefer to live together in terms of convenience which could reflect the Chinese “guanxi” vividly. Even after the implementation of Open Policy from 1980s，though the traditional lifestyle is influences a lot，people still want to live as close as possible to their family members，relatives and friends. However，in America，there is no such a strong family tie as same as that in China，therefore，their life style are very mobile. Meanwhile, this life style is also influenced by their personal values, such as self-reliance，hard work，and a tie between achieving success in life，personal achievement etc，which encourage Americans to work all of theworld for achieving their career goals and success.3. Different Public FestivalsThere are several festivals which come of family unity in Chi- nese official holidays, such as Spring Festival，Tomb–sweeping Day, Qixi Jie and Mid-autumn Festival. The most important festival is the Spring Festival existing in the history for almost over 2000 years long. During this festival, all family and relatives get together, which is the very precious chance for people to enlarge and strengthen family ties. In America，Chiristmas Day，Hallow-mas，Saint Valentine's Day，Thanksgiving Day are the most important holidays coming ofChristianity. The most ignificant festival is theChristmas Day. Before the festival，all Americans also come back from their works for this big day；however，this festival is much more religious for the family members even though they do have the activities of family reunion.Ⅲ. ConclusionThe cultural differences between China and America are re- flected in almost all aspects of family life. The present study focuses on various major aspects，such as the different family decisive values，different family relationship and attitudes, and influences caused by family values. It’s not just simply listing some phenomena and analyzing the cultural explanation . The intention of the study is to promote a better understanding between Chinese and American people by comparing the family values. We would like to say if we want to live peacefully and harmoniously under the same roof，the best thing we must do is to make an understanding between Chinese people and American people. Meanwhile，a good understanding of the differences will surely facilitate the cross-cultural communication of two peoples.【References】[1] HALL, E, F. The Hidden Dimension[M].

中国和国外家庭的区别作文【中英文版】**Title: The Differences between Chinese and Foreign Families**In a world where cultural diversity thrives, it"s fascinating to explore the nuances that define different family structures.When comparing Chinese families to their foreign counterparts, several key differences come to light, reflecting the unique values and societal norms of each culture.Firstly, family structure plays a significant role.Chinese families tend to be closely-knit and emphasize the importance of multigenerational living.It is not uncommon for grandparents, parents, and children to live under the same roof, fostering a strong sense of unity and filial piety.In contrast, foreign families, particularly in Western cultures, often encourage independence.Once children reach adulthood, they typically move out and start their own lives, leading to a more nuclear family structure.Education is another point of differentiation.In Chinese families, there is a strong emphasis on academic excellence and discipline.Parents often have high expectations for their children"s educational achievements, which can lead to a significant focus on studying and academic performance.Conversely, foreign families may prioritize a more well-rounded education, encouraging extracurricular activities, criticalthinking, and creativity.Communication styles also vary between Chinese and foreign families.Chinese families often adopt a more indirect communication style, valuing harmony and respect.Conflict is generally avoided, and decisions are often made collectively with an emphasis on maintaining family harmony.In contrast, foreign families may be more direct in their communication, encouraging open expression of opinions and emotions, even if it leads to disagreements.Values and traditions further highlight the differences.Chinese families place a strong emphasis on filial piety, respect for elders, and family honor.Traditional values and customs are passed down through generations, shaping family dynamics.In foreign cultures, individualism is often celebrated, and while respect for elders is still important, there is a greater focus on personal goals and aspirations.Finally, the concept of privacy varies greatly.In Chinese families, privacy may be less of a priority, with family members often involved in each other"s lives to a greater extent.This can be seen in the sharing of living spaces and the open discussion of personal matters.Foreign families, particularly in Western cultures, tend to value privacy more, with individuals having their own personal space and the freedom to make independent decisions.In conclusion, the differences between Chinese and foreign familiesare multifaceted, stemming from cultural values, societal norms, and communication styles.While both types of families share universal themes of love and support, the unique characteristics of each reflect the diverse tapestry of our global community.**标题：中国家庭与国外家庭的区别**在一个文化多样性盛行的世界里，探索定义不同家庭结构的细微差别是非常有趣的。

Family values reflected the tendency of people’s outlooks. Therefore, the influences of family values are demonstrated in many aspects, such as cultures, social structures and personal development. The analyses of family values can help us to better understand the differences between eastern and western countries in cultures, social structures and personal development as well, as to acquire further insight in culture shock and gap’s in communication.I. The differences between the Western and Chinese family structureThe Chinese people attach great importance to the relationship between blood relatives, therefore, the main characteristics of the Chinese family structure is the big family. Modern Chinese society has two major family structure: nuclear families and extended family. A pair of couples with children, two generation family called core family; three and even four generations of the family is the extended family.By comparison, Westerners about blood relationship and not so much Chinese. In western countries, the nuclear family occupies the absolute dominant position, while the extended family very little, in addition, there are single parent families, single parent families, cohabitation families form. People pay more and more attention to the "nuclear family", while the three generation, lineal relatives by blood and collateral relatives by blood beyond two generation is indifferent.II. The differences between the Western and Chinese family values2.1 Different values between the Western and ChinaDue to the family structure, family values were different. China has five thousand years of history of civilization, the precipitation many excellent culture, also spread a lot of good habits and customs, the Chinese traditional idea of the family is contained in the culture and habits. In Chinese ancient and modern society, theconcept of family firm has to maintain social stability has played a big role, also gave birth to many classical virtues, such as care for the young, harmony of couples, neighborhood unity, still, thrifty, the traditional family concept of Chinese social order has played a role in maintaining the great. However, with the development and change of social environment makes the original family unit is destroyed, personal growth experiences in traditional concept also changes with the times. The original multigenerational phenomenon is rarely exist, replace sb. Is often keep house the next generation, the family unit has not directly represents a family. However, Chinese family values are affected by the traditional family values, the Chinese family values is still strong, the blood relationship, family ethics, is ingrained in the brain, parents, children always one family.2.2 Different historical reasons caused different family valuesIn the Chinese family, has been pursuing a tradition of respect for the elderly. Old people often suffer from family, society is respect. In the Chinese family, the children at a young age dependent on their parents, parents for home made many personal sacrifices, they want their children to obey. When children grow up the responsibility to take care of their parents, but in some cases will continue to rely on their parents.Historically, Chinese family values is very strong, family consciousness is strong, for example the simplest example -- Chinese name, the first general is the family name, and then is the name, name often have a same generation of unified using sign used to living word, name as a symbol of family and family, Chinese put him in the front, on behalf of his name on the back, in a side also proved that in the eyes of the Chinese people, the family is much higher than that of their own, to have a family, after their.By comparison, Westerners about blood relationship and not Chinese so seriously. The foundation of Western society in the personal, Western cultural values of individualism is the core. Praise the value of people, to promote human dignity and the free development of personality. In western families, the relationship between parents and children is more equal. There is not much dependence relation between children and parents, the children after school don't live at home, the young man is proud to stand on one's own. The old parents not to depend on their children as children, also does not have the responsibility to support their parents, both sides does not have so many obligations and responsibilities in the family, the relationship between parents and children equal.Social and family to treat the elderly can still reflect the independence and individualism. Their financial support usually consists of social welfare and healthsystem to reduce the family to rely on. In general, the elderly will find their own friends instead of relying on their children emotionally. The United States of America's parents did not send their children to stay filial thoughts, they encourage adult children to live independently, that once their children marry and settle down as behoove should move out. In most western countries, the elderly pension after real homes and welfare institutions spend, American society in general are for young people. This reflects the difference of family concept of the West from the other side.ConclusionDifferences between western family values in comparison, not to judge who is good and who is not good, but to understand the differences, look different, a better understanding of the western culture. Any national culture has its own characteristics, are worth learning place other nationalities. The differences between the Chinese and Western family values, to some extent reflects the Chinese and Western cultural traditions of different, nothing is absolutely good or bad. Culture is the same, culture is not good or bad, should recognize, respect and learn different culturesBibliography:〚1〛陈春莲.中西传统家庭教育的比较[z]。

中美家庭之间的差异英语作文**Differences in Chinese and American Family Cultures** Family, being the fundamental unit of society, plays a pivotal role in shaping the values, traditions, and behaviors of its members. The cultural backgrounds of China and the United States, being vastly different, naturally give rise to distinct family dynamics and practices. This essay delves into the disparities in family structures, communication styles, roles of parents, and educational approaches between Chinese and American families.**Family Structures**In China, the extended family system prevails, with grandparents, parents, and children often living under the same roof. This arrangement promotes strong familial bonds and a sense of collective responsibility. Conversely, in the United States, the nuclear family is more common, consisting primarily of parents and their children. This setup encourages a more individualistic approach, with a stronger emphasis on personal freedom and independence.**Communication Styles**Communication within Chinese families tends to be indirect and implicit, with members often relying on nonverbal cues and contextual understanding. This approach can lead to a deeper understanding among family members but can also create misunderstandings due to the assumption of shared knowledge. In contrast, American families tend to favor direct and explicit communication, with a strong emphasis on clarity and openness. This style promotes transparency but may sometimes lack the nuance and depth found in Chinese communication.**Roles of Parents**In Chinese families, parents often play a more authoritative role, with strict rules and expectations that are expected to be obeyed without question. This approach, while fostering discipline and respect, can also stifle creativity and independent thinking. By contrast, American parents tend to adopt a more permissive parenting style, encouraging children to express their opinions and make their own decisions. This fosters a more autonomous and innovative mindset but may also lead to a lack of structure and discipline.**Educational Approaches**Education is highly valued in both cultures, but the approaches taken differ significantly. Chinese families often prioritize academic excellence, with a strong focus on exams and grades. This can lead to a high level of academic achievement but may also cause excessive stress and a narrow focus on academic pursuits. In contrast, American families tend to place greater emphasis on fostering a child's interests and passions, encouraging them to explore various fields and pursue their dreams. This approach cultivates a more rounded and well-rounded individual but may also lead to a lack of focus and achievement in academic areas.In conclusion, the disparities in family cultures between China and the United States are multifaceted and reflect the deep-rooted differences in their respective cultures. Understanding these differences can help us appreciate the unique strengths and values of both cultures and foster better cross-cultural communication and understanding.**中美家庭文化差异探微**家庭作为社会的基本单位，在塑造其成员的价值观、传统和行为方面起着至关重要的作用。

中国家庭与美国家庭的不同英语作文Title: A Comparative Essay on Chinese and American Family DynamicsIn the intricate tapestry of global cultures, the family stands as a universal yet uniquely diverse institution. This essay aims to explore the fascinating contrasts between Chinese and American family dynamics, shedding light on the values, roles, and traditions that define these two cultural contexts.1.Cultural Values and Family StructureIn China, the family is often viewed as an extension of the collective, deeply rooted in Confucian values that emphasize respect for elders, filial piety, and the maintenance of social harmony. This is reflected in the common practice ofmulti-generational households, where grandparents, parents, and children coexist under one roof.In contrast, American families tend to prioritize individualism and independence. The nuclear family model—consisting of parents and their children—is more prevalent, with a greater emphasis on personal freedom andself-expression.cation and Parenting StylesChinese parenting often adopts a more authoritative approach, focusing on academic success and discipline. Parents may exert significant control over their children's education, from choosing schools to dictating study habits, aiming for high academic achievements.American parenting, on the other hand, is characterized by a more democratic style, where children are encouraged to develop their own interests and make personal choices. Emphasis is placed on creativity, critical thinking, andself-esteem.munication and Decision-MakingCommunication in Chinese families can be more indirect, with an emphasis on non-verbal cues and respect for hierarchy. Decisions are often made collectively, with the input of multiple family members, particularly the elders.American families typically favor open and direct communication. Decisions are made through discussion and consensus, with each family member’s opinion valued equally.4.Traditions and CelebrationsChinese families celebrate traditions deeply rooted in history and culture, such as the Lunar New Year, where familyreunions are central. These occasions are marked by rituals, feasts, and the exchange of red envelopes (hongbao) as a symbol of good fortune.American families celebrate a mix of cultural and national holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, which often involve family gatherings, sharing meals, and gift-giving. These holidays highlight the importance of togetherness and gratitude.In conclusion, while both Chinese and American families share the common goal of nurturing and supporting their members, the methods and values that guide these processes are shaped by distinct cultural backgrounds. Understanding these differences not only enriches our global perspective but also highlights the universal love and commitment that families, regardless of their cultural context, share.。

A Comparative Study of Family Values from Chinese and American Family Structures andRelationshipsAcknowledgementsMany people deserve my sincere thanks for helping me in various aspects and at various stages of completing this paper. First of all, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Du Qiaoge, who has generously given me so much of her time to read through the whole thesis and has offered me warm support and great encouragement. I cannot thank her enough for her constructive suggestions, word- for-word scrutiny, and other expert guidance. Without her painstaking instruction, the completion of the present thesis would not have been possible.My thanks also go to the scholars who have done a lot of research work on the comparison of different family values, and to the authors whose works I have quoted directly and indirectly.Furthermore, I should also record very special thanks to my teammates Lei Pan and Liu Sa who gave me their patience and time in helping me with my work as a leader of this team during the tense course of the thesis.Last but not the least, my thanks would go to my beloved parents for their loving considerations and great confidence in me all through four years. Without their understanding and mutual support, I do not think I could enjoy the four-year university life. I also owe my sincere gratitude to my friends who supported me and accompanied me during the difficult course of the thesis.AbstractThe core proposition of this paper is the comparison of Chinese and American family values. As is well known that family values are the core of the research system of cultural values that play a decisive role in guiding the behaviors of family members. The family is the epitome of social formation and the basic unit of a society. Therefore, family members’ values directly affect their speeches and behaviors in society, i.e. values of the whole society lie on family values to a large extent and the role of family values is obvious. This paper adopts the intuitionistic method of paralleling comparison, and sets up a bridge of communication between two entirely different family values through a series of comparative discussion from the roots. It aims at promoting mutual understanding of the core orientation of family values between Chinese and American people, and makes it easier to understand each other’s behavioral patterns, hence to generate common value orientation on the basis of seeking common points while reserving differences，and have reference when dealing with family issues.This paper chooses the comparative study of Chinese and American family values as the theme, and makes the following analysis from the aspect of family structures and relationships. Part one gives a brief introduction of the concept and meaning of family values as well as the general structure of this thesis. Part two is the comparative analysis of effects of both family structures and relationships on family values between China and America, combining with the causes forming the differences.

中国家庭和美国家庭的不同英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Differences between Chinese Families and American FamiliesFamily is a fundamental unit of society that plays a significant role in shaping individuals' lifestyle, beliefs, and values. However, the concept of family varies across different cultures, leading to distinct differences between Chinese families and American families. In this essay, we will explore and compare the key differences between these two types of families.1. Family StructureChinese families typically have a hierarchical structure, where the eldest male member is considered the head of the family and makes all important decisions. The family is expected to respect and obey the patriarch's authority. In contrast, American families tend to have a more egalitarian structure, wheredecision-making is often shared among family members based on their individual skills, knowledge, and expertise.2. Gender RolesIn Chinese families, traditional gender roles are still prevalent, with women often expected to take care of household chores and children while men are responsible for providing for the family financially. However, in American families, gender roles are more flexible, and both men and women are encouraged to pursue their interests and career goals.3. EducationEducation is highly emphasized in both Chinese and American families, but the approach to education differs. Chinese families place a strong emphasis on academic success, with parents often exerting pressure on their children to excel in school. In contrast, American families value a more well-rounded education that includes extracurricular activities, sports, and social skills development.4. Parenting StyleChinese parents tend to be more authoritarian, setting strict rules and expectations for their children's behavior and achievements. They believe in tough love and discipline as a way to motivate their children to succeed. American parents, on the other hand, adopt a more democratic parenting style, where they encourage open communication, independence, andself-expression in their children.5. Family ValuesChinese families value collectivism and harmony within the family unit, often prioritizing the needs of the group over individual desires. American families, on the other hand, tend to value individualism and personal freedom, encouraging family members to pursue their own goals and aspirations.6. Holidays and CelebrationsChinese families typically celebrate traditional holidays such as Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, which are marked by family gatherings, feasting, and cultural activities. In comparison, American families celebrate holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Independence Day with similar traditions but often focus more on individual family units rather than extended family gatherings.In conclusion, while there are similarities in the importance of family in both Chinese and American cultures, there are also notable differences in family structure, gender roles, education, parenting styles, values, and holiday celebrations. Understanding and appreciating these differences can lead to greater cultural awareness and acceptance between individuals from different backgrounds.篇2Differences between Chinese Families and American FamiliesIntroduction:Family is an essential social unit that plays a vital role in shaping an individual’s values, beliefs, and behavior. Despite the universality of the family institution, there are significant differences in the structure, values, and practices of families across different cultures. In this essay, I will explore and compare the key differences between Chinese families and American families.Family Structure:Chinese families traditionally follow a hierarchical structure with the eldest male (usually the father or grandfather) being the head of the family. Respect for authority and filial piety are core values that are ingrained in the Chinese culture. In contrast, American families tend to be more egalitarian and democratic, with decision-making being shared among family members. The concept of individualism is emphasized in American families, with parents encouraging their children to express their opinions and make their own choices.Family Size:Chinese families tend to have larger family sizes compared to American families. It is common for multiple generations to live together under one roof, with grandparents playing a significant role in child-rearing. In contrast, American families often consist of nuclear families, with parents and children living in separate households. This difference in family size can influence the dynamics and relationships within the family unit.Parenting Styles:Chinese parents are known for their authoritative parenting style, which is characterized by high expectations, strict discipline, and an emphasis on academic achievement. Parents in Chinese families place a strong emphasis on their children's education and career success. In contrast, American parents tend to adopt a more permissive parenting style, allowing their children more freedom to make choices and learn from their experiences. American parents prioritize their children's emotional well-being and personal development.Cultural Values:Cultural values and traditions play a significant role in shaping family dynamics in both Chinese and American families. Confucian values such as filial piety, respect for elders, and loyalty to the family are highly valued in Chinese families. Incontrast, American families tend to prioritize values such as independence, self-expression, and individualism. These cultural differences can influence communication styles, conflict resolution methods, and decision-making processes within the family.Conclusion:In conclusion, there are several key differences between Chinese families and American families in terms of family structure, size, parenting styles, and cultural values. While both types of families share the common goal of nurturing and supporting their members, the ways in which they achieve this goal can vary significantly due to cultural, historical, and social factors. Understanding these differences can help foster greater respect, empathy, and cooperation among individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Ultimately, family is a universal institution that transcends cultural boundaries and serves as a foundation for personal growth, mutual support, and social cohesion.篇3In a world that is becoming more interconnected than ever before, it is interesting to compare and contrast the differencesbetween Chinese and American families. Both cultures have unique values, traditions, and ways of life that shape the dynamics of the family unit. In this essay, we will explore some of the key differences between Chinese and American families.One of the most noticeable differences between Chinese and American families is the concept of family structure. In China, family is considered the most important social unit, and the family hierarchy is based on seniority and respect for elders. Parents are seen as the authority figures in the household, and children are expected to obey and respect their parents at all times. In contrast, American families tend to have a more egalitarian structure, where parents and children have more equal footing and decision-making is often done democratically.Another key difference between Chinese and American families is the role of education. In China, education is highly valued and children are expected to excel academically in order to secure a bright future. Parents often invest a lot of time and resources into their children's education, including enrolling them in extracurricular activities and hiring tutors. In comparison, American families also value education, but there is often less pressure on children to perform academically. American parents tend to focus more on developing their children's individualtalents and interests, rather than pushing them to excel in traditional subjects.Communication style is another area where Chinese and American families differ. In Chinese families, communication is often indirect and non-verbal cues are important in conveying messages. It is seen as disrespectful to openly challenge or contradict elders, so children are taught to be obedient and listen quietly. American families, on the other hand, tend to have a more open communication style, where individual opinions are respected and encouraged. Children are often encouraged to speak their minds and challenge ideas, leading to more open discussions and debates within the family.Finally, the concept of family values is another area where Chinese and American families differ. In China, family values are deeply rooted in Confucian principles, which emphasize harmony, respect, and filial piety. Children are expected to sacrifice their own needs for the greater good of the family, and loyalty to the family is highly valued. In contrast, American families tend to prioritize individualism, personal happiness, and self-fulfillment. Children are encouraged to pursue their own dreams and aspirations, even if it means going against the wishes of their parents or family.In conclusion, Chinese and American families have distinct cultural differences that shape their values, traditions, and ways of life. While both cultures have their own strengths and weaknesses, it is important to recognize and appreciate the diversity of family dynamics that exist around the world. By understanding and respecting these differences, we can learn valuable lessons about the importance of family, community, and cultural heritage.。

中美家庭教育英语论文（英语版）第一篇：中美家庭教育英语论文(英语版)Comparison betweenChinese and American Family EducationAbstract Family education is related to a person's life.Nowadays, social development needs high qualified talents and good family education is the key point to the high qualified talents.Because of the different social systems, culture backgrounds, education aims and so on, family education for the children are different in many aspects between China and America.This article will compare Chinese with American families in differences in educational aims, content and teaching method, what's more, analyze some reasons for these differences.Key words: children, parents, family education，Chinese ,American1.IntroductionGeert Hofstede, a master engaging in cultural studies, defines the word “culture” as “collective mental programming” possessed by people in the same environment.This program differs since people have different ways of thinking which derive from diverse educational background and work.From this, the significance of education in cultural differences can be seen.In additions, children are the hope of nation and “family education” is the earliest lesson children took.So it’s important to com pare our family education with others and develop it.2.Main different of family educationFirst, there exists great difference in educational conception and purpose between Chinese and American families.Chinese parents produce a great impact on children’s future.They often design a future for children, no matter they like it or not.Thelargest parental expectation to children is that they work hard and try to be promising.And parents would like to spare their no efforts to provide children with a more favorable growing environment——for they believe that everything they've done deserves if children get a better future.And during this process of giving, “good marks” are gradually considered as the only mission and goal on the path of development.At the same time, they ignore their children’s extraordinary abilities, damage their imaginations.Nevertheless, the largest expectation of American parents is to encourage their children to be a social man.“Social man” is not a utopia idea, but a requirement which is pr actical and easy to achieve.They pay much attention to train their children’s independent ability.They provide children with more freedom, inspiring them to develop through experience.American children take part-time job during their spare time.For example, they do house cleaning;send newspapers to make money for the cost of living.Second, their teaching method diverges a lot.The method in China is often no more than the mode of “Teaching by holding his hand”.Parents prefer to directly telling children the results, rather than show the process.Over time, they will suffer from psychological dependence, ignoring the importance of self-exploration.And that's why most Chinese students lack of creativity.What’s more, Chinese parents pay more attention to class lessons than learning in life.we can find the following scenes easily: Parents take their children to various kinds of lessons after school.On the contrary, American parents pay attention to practical training, emphasis on training children in practice instead of preaching.Parents always let children do what they want and like to do.And it is this kind of method that cultivate their autonomous learning and spirit ofinnovation.Besides, in American, children take part in all kinds of activities;do a lot of outdoor exercises.There are a lot of good places for them to do exercises.In the process of playing, the children develop their intelligence, such as imagination, judgments, communication with other people and emotion adjusting and so on..But, undeniably, American indulgent type of family education also has harmful affections.Over indulgent education made a lot of social problems, such as, teenage crime.Third, the content of education also accounts for the difference.The differences of family education between the two countries are also reflected in the contents of family education.Although the contents of Chinese family education can also divided into moral education, intellectual education, physical education and artistic education, but intellectual education has been the most important one since they go to school.However, the contents of American family education are abundant, which pay more attention to the harmonious development of language, emotion, knowledge and so on.It is so-called “education for all-ar ound development”.3.The reasons for the differences mentioned above: Reasons results in these differences are as followings.Firstly, China and America have different traditional culture.China, with a long history, has a sort of cohesive and conservative sense.By contraries, America is a nation of immigrants’ culture, in which people like accept new ideas.Secondly, different economic form and social conditions led to the different.American parents think a useful person is better than others.They see educating child to be an independent, conscientious and kindhearted person as their duties.Conclusion These above are the analysis on differences between Chinese and American family education.There is no point saying whichkind of education is superior.Every child grows up under his parents’ family education, what kind a person will be, depends on what kind of family education he received.Children’s character and destiny have great relationship with family education and children’s education determines nation's prospect.We would improve ourselves continuously only if we could find out our weaknesses in this comparison and learn from the best.References:《The Aims of

关于美国和中国家长教育区别英语作文Differences in Parenting Styles between American and Chinese ParentsParenting styles play a crucial role in shaping a child's development and behavior. American and Chinese parents have distinct approaches when it comes to raising their children. These differences stem from cultural beliefs, societal norms, and values. Understanding these distinctions can provide valuable insights into the diverse parenting practices in these two countries.Parenting in the United States is often characterized by an emphasis on independence, individualism, and self-expression. American parents typically encourage their children to explore their interests, express their opinions, and make their own choices. They value autonomy and believe in fostering a child's sense of self-confidence and self-reliance from a young age. This approach is reflected in the way American parents interact with their children, often engaging in open communication, active listening, and democratic decision-making.In contrast, Chinese parenting is grounded in concepts such as collectivism, filial piety, and respect for authority. Chineseparents prioritize academic success, discipline, and obedience in their children. They place a strong emphasis on rote memorization, structured learning, and strict adherence to rules and regulations. Chinese parents tend to be more directive and authoritarian in their parenting style, expecting their children to follow their instructions without question and placing a high value on academic achievements and extracurricular accomplishments.One of the key differences between American and Chinese parenting styles is the approach to discipline. While American parents often employ positive reinforcement, negotiation, and reasoning to address behavioral issues, Chinese parents are more likely to use punishment, criticism, and strict rules to correct their children's behavior. Chinese parents believe that discipline is essential for instilling values such as obedience, respect, and self-control in their children, and they are quick to intervene when their children misbehave.Another distinct aspect of Chinese parenting is the emphasis on academic success. Chinese parents are known for their high expectations and relentless pursuit of excellence when it comes to their children's education. They believe that academic achievements are a reflection of a child's intelligence, diligence,and potential for success in the future. Chinese parents often invest heavily in their children's education, providing support, resources, and guidance to ensure that their children excel academically.In contrast, American parents tend to take a more relaxed approach to academics, focusing on their children's overallwell-being, happiness, and personal growth. They value creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence as essential skills for success in the modern world. American parents encourage their children to pursue their passions, develop their talents, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning, even if it means taking unconventional paths or deviating from traditional academic expectations.Communication styles also differ between American and Chinese parents. American parents tend to engage in open, honest, and supportive communication with their children, fostering trust, empathy, and emotional connection. They encourage their children to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely, and they often seek to understand their children's perspectives and experiences. In contrast, Chinese parents may prioritize strictness, discipline, and authority in their communication with their children, focusing on conveyingexpectations, boundaries, and rules rather than engaging in emotional conversations or establishing a deep emotional bond.In conclusion, the differences in parenting styles between American and Chinese parents reflect the cultural, societal, and philosophical values that shape their beliefs and behaviors. While American parents prioritize individualism, independence, and self-expression, Chinese parents emphasize collectivism, discipline, and academic success. Understanding these distinctions can help us appreciate the diversity of parenting practices around the world and the impact they have on children's development and well-being. By recognizing and respecting the unique strengths and challenges of each parenting style, we can cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human diversity and experience.。

英语论文从中国和美国的家庭结构和关系比较研究家庭价值观AcknowledgementsMany people deserve my sincere thanks for helping me in various aspects and at various stages of completing this paper. First of all, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Du Qiaoge, who has generously given me so much of her time to read through the whole thesis and has offered me warm support and great encouragement. I cannot thank her enough for her constructive suggestions, word- for-word scrutiny, and other expert guidance. Without her painstaking instruction, the completion of the present thesis would not have been possible.My thanks also go to the scholars who have done a lot of research work on the comparison of different family values, and to the authors whose works I have quoted directly and indirectly.Furthermore, I should also record very special thanks to my teammates Lei Pan and Liu Sa who gave me their patience and time in helping me with my work as a leader of this team during the tense course of the thesis.Last but not the least, my thanks would go to my beloved parents for their loving considerations and great confidence in me all through four years. Without their understanding and mutual support, I do not think I could enjoy the four-year university life. I also owe my sincere gratitude to my friends who supported me and accompanied me during the difficult course of the thesis.AbstractThe core proposition of this paper is the comparison of Chinese and American family values. As is well known that familyvalues are the core of the research system of cultural values that play a decisive role in guiding the behaviors of family members. The family is the epitome of social formation and the basic unit of a society. Therefore, family members’ values directly affect their speeches and behaviors in society, i.e. values of the whole society lie on family values to a large extent and the role of family values is obvious. This paper adopts the intuitionistic method of paralleling comparison, and sets up a bridge of communication between two entirely different family values through a series of comparative discussion from the roots. It aims at promoting mutual understanding of the core orientation of family values between Chinese and American people, and makes it easier to understand each other’s behavior al patterns, hence to generate common value orientation on the basis of seeking common points while reserving differences，and have reference when dealing with family issues.This paper chooses the comparative study of Chinese and American family values as the theme, and makes the following analysis from the aspect of family structures and relationships. Part one gives a brief introduction of the concept and meaning of family values as well as the general structure of this thesis. Part two is the comparative analysis of effects of both family structures and relationships on family values between China and America, combining with the causes forming the differences. Part three comparatively studies a series of family issues under different family values. Part four puts forward some solutions of these family issues accordingly. In part five the author sums up the whole thesis and once again points out the importance of comparative study in this thesis.Key words: family values; family structures; familyrelationships; family issues内容摘要本文研究的核心命题是中美家庭价值观之比较。

Ⅰ.IntroductionFamily is the most basic unit of all human society. It reflects the ethical values of a society, its cultural characteristicsand the unique features of a nation. People begin to learn anything about the world and their culture through the family they are brought up in. What you think, how you act, even your language, are all transmitted through the family from the wider cultural context.Family values are the core in the research of cultural values, and it has a huge influence on people’s thoughts and behaviors. So if we want to get a glimpse of the cultures of two different countries, it is necessary to know their different family values. In this paper we will analyze family values from different aspects,including the decisive family values, the attitude to the family members and their relationships,and the influences of family values.Ⅱ.The differences of family values.A.The individualism VS. the collectivismThe American emphasize the personal independence,while Chinese emphasize on the whole family, not any individual member.Children in America have more freedom than that in China.Their parents rarely interfere with their private affairs, and usual ly try to enhance children’s all-around abilitieswhen they are young. They handle their own affairs themselves and try to get support from their colleagues or experts who work inthe relevant field, and their family members only give suggestions to them.The key point of its society is freedom.Obviously, we Chinese paymore attention to the interest of whole family than that of any individual’s. In China, children usually live with their parents even after they are grown-up,since Chinese people want a more united family and closer relationship between family members. The living style in China is different compared with that in America. Chinese people like to live with their parents and they think this kind of living style may help them have more opportunity to understand other family members. This kind of living style can narrow the gap between family members andwhen anybody faceswith a problem, the others can help him effectively and efficiently. The living style also reflects that Chinese people mainly emphasize the whole family but not the individuals, which is quite different from Americans.B.The attitude to the family members and theirrelationships in China and America.Chinese people have a big family with variety of relatives, which may be easy to cause competition and suspicion. So in order to maintain order and family harmony, they particularly advocate showing respect to their seniority in the light of thetheory of law and discipline rite of Confucius. And 'Act you role well' is the key to a harmonious family relationship. All the family members should be ranked strictly and according to their position in the family hierarchy they would be treated separately and be required to do what they should do. So in traditional Chinese family, the elder is highly respected. Parents bring up their children, then after parents are getting old, it is their children’s responsibility and duty to care for them and give them both material and spiritual support. In the traditional Chinese family, father was always the centre. It is not because the feudal concept that man is superior to woman, but also for what man has earned is the main source of family’s incoming and usually man earns more money than woman. And woman is responsible for the family house working. Though most household affairs are solved and decided by mother, the most important thing related to the whole family are determined by father. Between parents and children, parents are given more privilege and right to control their children. To most Chinese parents, a good child means to be obedient and docile. It is normal for parents to arrange everything for their children.To Americans, it is normal that parents and children are separate; reunion is abnormal. Parents bring up children and thechildren continue to raise the offspring, so the aged is expelled to the society. For the attitude to bring up the children, American parents consider that they have the legal liability, but in a sense, the children should take responsibility for their behaviors. Americans sniff at the concept of filial piety and think it restrains their self-awareness and ego-development. Parents and their children don't need dependency relationship. In contrast, they should establish a kind of allowance system so as to instill the basic concept of self-dignity and self-love into their children. As a result, although children would be grateful for their parents' favors, they do not think they have the obligation to pay back. In America, if the parents still live together with their adult children, they should pay board wages and accommodation fee to children. And the same to their adult children who still live with their parents.The primary purpose of an American family is to advance the happiness, the equality and the freedom of every family member. Americans praise self-centered and deal with the family members and family affairs rationally. For the sake of themselves, they deem that family should make sacrifice. Family’s hon or and unity are less important than that in Chinese society.In an American family, the democratic idea of equality isprevalent. Father and mother have equal right to make decision on family affairs and their children are given right to vote.C. Comparison of life style influenced by family values1. Different Financial StyleIn China，family members are financially dependent，that is to say all of the family members should help each other，especially when he or she meets the financial problems，which seems that people have the responsibility for helping their family members to overcome the difficulties. During the daily life，children should take careof their old parents financially even parents have the possibility torely on themselves.In America,familymembers are financially independent. Americans appreciate the individuality which requires them at first to get an independent financial freedom. That means they do not rely on their parents or family members when they grow up. Sometimes American thinks it is a kind of shame to be supported by their kind red members. That is the reason why in the case the father and the son felt at ease when they bought tickets for each other.2. Different Life StyleIn China ,a stable life style is much appreciated by people. As it has already been discussed above, the strong family tie in Chinahas been taken its shape for thousand years long. Familymembersand relatives prefer to live together in terms of convenience which could reflect the Chinese “guanxi” vividly. Even after the implementation of Open Policy from 1980s，though the traditional lifestyle is influences a lot，people still want to live as close as possible to their family members，relatives and friends. However，in America，there is no such a strong family tie as same as that in China，therefore，their life style are very mobile. Meanwhile, this life style is also influenced by their personal values, such as self-reliance，hard work，and a tie between achieving success in life，personal achievement etc，which encourage Americans to work all of theworld for achieving their career goals and success.3. Different Public FestivalsThere are several festivals which come of family unity in Chi- nese official holidays, such as Spring Festival，Tomb–sweeping Day, Qixi Jie and Mid-autumn Festival. The most important festival is the Spring Festival existing in the history for almost over 2000 years long. During this festival, all family and relatives get together, which is the very precious chance for people to enlarge and strengthen family ties. In America，Chiristmas Day，Hallow-mas，Saint Valentine's Day，Thanksgiving Day are the most important holidays coming ofChristianity. The most ignificant festival is theChristmas Day. Before the festival，all Americans also come back from their works for this big day；however，this festival is much more religious for the family members even though they do have the activities of family reunion.Ⅲ. ConclusionThe cultural differences between China and America are re- flected in almost all aspects of family life. The present study focuses on various major aspects，such as the different family decisive values，different family relationship and attitudes, and influences caused by family values. It’s not just simply listing some phenomena and analyzing the cultural explanation . The intention of the study is to promote a better understanding between Chinese and American people by comparing the family values. We would like to say if we want to live peacefully and harmoniously under the same roof，the best thing we must do is to make an understanding between Chinese people and American people. Meanwhile，a good understanding of the differences will surely facilitate the cross-cultural communication of two peoples.【References】[1] HALL, E, F. The Hidden Dimension[M].
