What do family responsibilities look like in American culture?

Their family responsibilities are basically to teach their children with their own moral code or code of conduct, and getting along with them is more like a friendship. They will nurture their children to be free, independent, and responsible individuals.

They encourage children to be free and to have their own private space. In general, they will not invade the child's privacy and will discuss with the child if there is a problem.

It is the responsibility of parents to raise their children until they are 18 years old, and after they reach adulthood at the age of 18, it can be said that some parents will choose to continue to help their children, and some parents will choose to let their children be independent on their own, whether it is school or work. And if their own children do not support their parents, they will not be criticized by the vast majority of people in society, many parents will choose to go to a nursing home when they are older, because their country has a relatively complete pension system, that is, the treatment is still good.

As far as I can see, their education for their children is so different from that of China. They are the kind of people who stop caring about their children when they reach adulthood. Living in your own home has to pay water and electricity bills, and various living expenses.

They should be on their own, not on their parents. Unlike Chinese parents, who manage their children from birth to death, and work hard for their own lives, sometimes they are not left behind in the good of their children.

And for the Americans, I think they are more direct and not as subtle as China. What do they say. And for the family's economy, it is also very clear, each with its own flowers. When the family goes out for dinner, the AA system will also be implemented.

I don't think their state of life is very practical for me, and there will be a lot of unacceptability. But I really think that they will really make everyone's sense of responsibility stronger and stronger. They know how to be grateful, and they know that when they grow up, they will no longer rely on their parents.

In fact, the American family emphasizes independence and autonomy. After the child is 18 years old, the parents do not give financial help, but let the child find a way to earn money to support himself, to be independent, and to learn to live independently. And when the parents are old, it is not necessary for the children to support their parents.

It is completely different from our Chinese culture and family responsibilities. There is no such thing as good or bad, it's just a difference in culture.

I have indirectly gained my knowledge of the United States from movies. The concept of family education in the United States is completely different from that of China. American parents pay more attention to the development of their children's self-awareness.

Encourage children to express their thoughts and emotions freely. In the United States, it is illegal for parents to randomly beat and scold children, so American children are more confident and brave. But American children do not have any concept of responsibility, some are only personal interests, and everything is based on interests.

In American families, their children are very independent, if you want pocket money, you have to do things, for example, you have pocket money when you do housework, and if you break other people's things outside, your parents will not help you bear the cost, you can borrow money like your parents, but you have to pay them back later, this is the American family parents cultivate their children to have the habit of taking responsibility, and they have to bear their own mistakes if they do wrong, which can not only exercise their ability but also teach them to be independent.

The family concept of Americans is not as strong as in our country, basically parents for their children, most of them are raised to the age of 18 and no longer interfere in the life of their children, pay attention to the cultivation of children's independence, and American parents basically do not rely on their children to provide for the elderly. Personally, I feel that the family culture in the United States makes the relationship between family members not very close.

Their family responsibilities for children are to cultivate their independent character and abilities, so that children can learn to adapt to society. For the family is the same as we are, a little more care and love, and do our best to help the family. However, there is no requirement to provide for the elderly for their parents, and they all have special pension institutions.

It can be seen from the TV that their children's education is completely different from ours, they let the children be independent from an early age, and they no longer care about them when they reach the age of 18. So for the people in their country, they are more independent, and these are cause and effect.

1.Freedom under the legal norm (on the one hand, the status of the law is the most important, and on the other hand, freedom is admired, which sometimes makes people feel innovative and diverse).

2.Eat more, work more, think less.

Compared with Europeans, Americans think less and do more, consume more food and energy, and produce more; So the United States is less ideologically conservative than European, more ideologically conservative, and more economically powerful)

Freedom, human rights are the greatest. The opposite is China, where collective interests are greater than individual interests.

The tolerance of foreign cultures, the very optimism about everything, the spirit of never giving up in the bones of Americans that I admire the most, and Americans are less likely to be class-discriminatory, Americans value who you are not your father, and they don't rely on their families all on their own, many rich Americans are self-made, and usually Americans rarely leave assets for their children, because they feel that money has to be earned back to make sense, and many American billionaires have given their inheritances to the welfare club. This expresses some of the best of American culture.

Assertive! Identification with the self.

Human beings are born as natural beings like animals, and grow into social beings through family, school, and social education. The personality and development of human beings are the product of the social environment, and for almost everyone, the family is the first social environment in which the individual is born and receives the social limb fluid. As a micro-social environment, the family occupies a very important position in the education and development of the individual, and the role of family education can never be replaced by any other educational institution.

At present, China's society is in the process of transformation, and the change in the size and structure of the family has brought about a certain degree of change in the function of family education and has shown some new characteristics. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore the changes and characteristics of the family education function of the only child through the analysis of the changes and trends of the family in the period of social transition, and to guide the current family education practice. I. Changes and Trends of Chinese Families in the Period of Social Transition Looking back at China's thousands of years of history and traditions, Chinese society has long been dominated by agriculture and handicrafts.

However, since the late 70s of the last century, China has not been able to realize the serious obstacles caused by the huge population base to the sustainable development of society, and has adopted the national policy of "one child per couple". With the implementation of the national policy of family planning, the structure of the family has gradually changed from the joint family and the main family to the core family. In the first decade of the 21st century, second-generation only children will be prevalent, at least among urban families.

Chinese families will appear only in the history of mankind.

The basic values that Americans cherish most are individualism and self-reliance, equal opportunity and fair play, material comforts, and hard work. Individualism is at the heart of American culture. 1. Emphasizing independence and individuality without excluding others 2. Adventurous, pioneering and innovative spirit 3. The spirit of freedom and equality.

American culture is the most diverse culture on the planet.

The early European colonization brought with it the culture of European civilization.

Triangle**, brought the culture of African civilization.

The best refuge in the world during the war years.

To this day, the whole world is migrating to the United States.

There are many cultures in the United States, but what kind of culture do you mean? Is it literature or life or something, etc., but what exactly is it? I think the United States is a free and democratic country, and the price is cheap, right, it is also 3,000 yuan, and 15 people can buy it a month.

American culture has three main characteristics: 1) diversity, racial diversity, and religious diversity; 2) forward-looking, when the United States was still a British colony, it was worried about its future, so it declared independence; 3) Regularity: On the first day of the U.S. Constitutional Convention, the discussion was about constitutional rules, even during the American Civil War and World War II, when elections were held.

Liberal, independent, open and conservative< - unmistakable.

Aggressive, exclusive, selfish.

The differences between Chinese and Western family concepts are: different degrees of blood kinship, different family consciousness, and different relationships between children and parents.

1. The degree of attention to blood relatives is different.

1. China. The Chinese family concept attaches great importance to blood relations, and the main feature of the family structure of the Chinese is the extended family. Including nuclear families and extended families.

2. The West. Western families do not attach as much importance to blood ties as Chinese. In Western countries, the nuclear family is overwhelmingly dominant, while the extended family is minimal.

Second, the family consciousness is different.

1. China. Chinese families have a strong sense of family, family ethics are deeply rooted in their minds, and they have always pursued the tradition of respecting the elderly. Elderly people are often treated with special respect from their families and society.

2. The West. The family consciousness of Western families is weak, the foundation of Western society is the individual, and Western cultural values are centered on individualism. It celebrates the value of the human person and advocates the dignity of the human person and the free development of the personality. The relationship between parents and children is more equal.

3. The relationship between children and their parents is different.

1. China. In Chinese families, children are dependent on their parents when they are young, and parents make a lot of personal sacrifices for the family, but demand more obedience from their children. Children grow up to be responsible for the support of their parents, but in some cases continue to be dependent on their parents.

2. The West. In Western families, children do not live at home after graduating from secondary school, and young people pride themselves on their independence. When parents are old, they do not rely on their children, and children do not have the responsibility to support their parents, so both parties do not have so many obligations and responsibilities.

Westerners have no less family values than China.

First, for their own family, Westerners attach great importance to it, before marriage, they may be more casual with boyfriends and girlfriends, but after marriage, they will be very loyal, the ring does not leave their hands, not at all as some people describe, everyone is looking for a lover.

Second, for children, this is the biggest difference, parents are really very patient with their children, and they are very equal, really like friends. They always respect their children's choices, while Chinese parents are "you do what I say, what do children know??" In addition, the biggest difference between them is that they definitely love their partner more than they love their children (in China, on the contrary, parents love their children more than their partners, and most parents have a very strong desire to control their children).

Third, the elderly abroad, because of the better social insurance, they all live alone, and their children visit from time to time to cook together. And the elderly without children are very well taken care of, living in a clean and beautiful apartment, full of flowers and plants on the balcony (I am talking about a relatively rich country, of course), but they are very independent in their thinking and do not want to rely on others.

Fourth, in foreign countries, relatives call each other by name, when everyone chats, men and women, love, sex, everything, the children present are also very happy to express their opinions, and when eating with them, it will feel like a warmer gathering of friends. I really envy this kind of equal but loving family.
