从《绝望主妇》各主角看美国家庭问题
从《绝望的主妇》看中美婚姻观和家庭观的不同
从《绝望的主妇》看中美婚姻观和家庭观的不同作者:苏丹来源:《亚太教育》2016年第11期摘要:作为一部曾在许多国家和地区创下惊人收视率的家庭美剧,《绝望的主妇》近年来受到越来越多中国观众的追捧。
本片从一个已故家庭主妇的视角,讲述了美国一个郊外小区紫藤街里四位性格不同的家庭主妇的生活。
透过这样贴近生活的美剧,我们不仅可以了解到美国社会普通老百姓的日常生活,也可以从中领会到许多中美文化的差异。
因此,本文采用个案分析法和归纳法,着重探讨中美两国人民在家庭观和婚姻观上存在的差异。
通过对这些差异的分析与总结,帮助我们了解中美两国独特的文化内涵,同时也有助于两国人民进行有效的跨文化交际。
关键词:绝望的主妇;中美;婚姻;家庭;不同一、前言《绝望的主妇》是一部由美国广播公司出品的家庭伦理电视剧。
故事以一个虚构的美国郊外住宅区紫藤街为背景,描述了四位美国家庭妇女的生活。
他们是单身母亲苏珊,完美主妇布丽,能干主妇丽奈特,迷人但不幸的加布丽尔。
由于其超高的人气,《绝望的主妇》也在国内学术界引发了热烈的讨论。
大多数学者从电视艺术和语言学角度来分析此剧,肯定了其故事发展模式和语言运用的独特性。
然而,作为一部贴近美国人真实生活的电视剧,其背后蕴藏的文化内涵,如婚姻观和家庭观更值得我们讨论。
本文以《绝望的主妇》这部电视剧为出发点,着重探讨中美两国文化在婚姻观和家庭观上的不同。
二、《绝望的主妇》中不同的婚姻观(一)对待婚姻的态度1.中国人对待婚姻的态度对大多数中国人来说,婚姻是人生大事。
婚姻不仅意味着两个人的结合,更意味着两个家庭的结合。
早在结婚前,即将结婚的年轻男女通常会拜访彼此的家庭,以了解家庭情况。
当他们决定结婚的时候,几乎所有的家庭成员都会来帮忙准备婚礼(李信,2003:87)。
虽然有时儿子不想结婚,但父母会以年龄或孝顺父母为借口劝其找一个合适的人结婚。
在这种情况下,婚姻不是建立在个人意愿的基础上,而是基于家庭压力。
结婚有时不是为了自己,而是为了别人。
美国电视剧《绝望主妇》中的社会文化分析
美国电视剧《绝望主妇》中的社会文化分析作者:马晔溶来源:《传播力研究》2018年第01期摘要:针对美国电视剧《绝望主妇》剧情内容予以讨论,从在“极度非道叠化”社会中疯狂的“绝望主妇”及在“看似安全稳定”社会中充满着“未知风险”两个方面进行分析,结合电视剧讨论其中所隐含的社会文化特点。
关键词:美国电视剧;《绝望主妇》;社会文化《绝望主妇》(Desperate house-wives)是继《欲望都市》后美国最热门的电视连续剧之一,自开播后便受到人们的热评,其收视率相对较高,在世界范围内得以传播,为优秀的电视剧作品。
人们在观看电视剧的同时,对与此相关的女性主题、家庭主题作品的热议随之增加,在讨论电视剧中故事情节的同时,也展示出人们对于社会文化的理解,彰显出不同时代背景下人们的思想观念与价值观念。
文章将基于美国电视剧《绝望主妇》的剧情内容加以分析,探究其中所蕴含的社会文化,简单表述观看《绝望主妇》后的想法。
一、在“极度非道叠化”社会中疯狂的“绝望主妇”《绝望主妇》中未应用大量叙事的创作手法,基于“私访”的情况,彰显出各个家庭中所发生的各类秘密事件,展现出工业化时期的社会发展特点以及“主妇们”的生活状态[1]。
《绝望主妇》创作背景在一个寻常的美国郊区小镇中“紫藤街(Wisteria Lane)”。
尽管其小镇没有任何异常,但是每一天却会发生很多不寻常的秘密事件。
各类任意妄为的行为,绝情的离婚事件,夫妻之间铭感的话题以及各类由于性关系所引发的暴力事件等等。
“主妇们”的生活具有凌乱的特点,而频繁发生的谋杀案、凶杀案等等,则彰显出人性丑陋的一面,邻里之间的关系处于紧张与戒备状态下[2]。
尽管电视剧中并没有血腥且暴力的场面,但是却给人以不适的感受。
人们产生不适感受的原因突出表现在两个方面,其一为伦理原则,其二则为家庭理念。
基于伦理学角度而言,接连发生的凶杀案、谋杀案等等,是因为工业化时期人们所产生的自我角度意识,进而使人们的自我意识逐渐膨胀,以自我为中心[3]。
从《绝望的主妇》看美国家庭教育观
从《绝望的主妇》看美国家庭教育观13020210 13商英2班丁海霞《绝望的主妇》作为经典美剧之一,通过一位美国已故家庭主妇的视角,描写了美国一个郊外小区紫藤巷里的几个家庭之间的故事。
这部美剧长达八季,其中不乏跌宕起伏的故事情节,浪漫美丽的爱情故事,但其中令我印象最深刻的还是其中三个主角---布里,苏珊,丽奈特在家庭中的教育观念。
布里-范-德-坎普作为几个家庭主妇中教育观念最重的的母亲,她的行为令我最出乎意料。
她是一个古板严苛的女人,同时也是一个教条化很严重的母亲。
在编剧的叙述中,当布里刚搬到紫藤巷时,因孩子捡到一个邻居家的玩偶,她就毫无怀疑的断定这是孩子偷来了,还一定要带着孩子到邻居家认错,并在大庭广众下羞辱自己的孩子是个“毛还没长齐的小偷”。
当然,及时给孩子纠正错误无可厚非,但是只凭自己的想法而给自己的孩子判刑,并毫不留情的伤害孩子的自尊心,这是不正确的。
她还是一个追求完美达到偏执的女人,为了能在众人面前显得傲然出众是费尽了心计与思量。
她对待孩子是一味的强压与管教,没有给孩子一点选择的权利,没有给孩子一刻喘息的时间,没有和孩子进行过交流,即使把一腔的爱都倾注到孩子身上换来的只有泪水与仇恨。
第二季中,她因为对儿子所作所为的无奈,她硬生生地将儿子扔在街头;因为对女儿的过度的爱与关心,她可以活活的拆散女儿的初恋。
其实布里更像是一个中国母亲,好面子,爱孩子,有着极强的教育观念,希望孩子能够走自己铺好的道路,她的人生不能有偏差与意外。
然而,也就是这种没有沟通交流,过度的爱和管教,反而会出现反效果。
苏珊梅尔,其实没有真正意义上的家庭教育。
她其实在很多方面比她女儿更为敏感胆怯,所以许多时候她反而依赖于她的女儿,当生活与爱情被她处理得一团糟的时候,女儿成了她的主心骨,可以说是苏珊和她的女儿,是真正意义上的情同姐妹的母女,这样的家庭表面上看上去不正常,甚至有点可笑,但实际上这样的家庭环境还算得上是自由与平等,和谐美好的,互相关爱,没有地位上的优越与年龄上的隔阂,没有强迫与压制,分享观点,自由畅谈,所以这样的单亲家庭能维持得这么好,也正是这一点,还有这样家庭中成长的孩子很早熟,能够解决自己的一切,有点小大人的感觉。

Conclusion: we can get a whole comprehension of the western and eastern family values through Desperate Housewives. From the discussion we can find that it is found that Chinese families pursue the harmony between family members. But American families have a belief that "Every man for himself, and God for us all".IntroductionThe most obvious difficulty when it comes to us is that different values. Family values is a indispensable part when we get along with them. From 2005, Desperate Housewives has become a TV show in hot pursuit of the hit TV series every year, which mainly tells how to maintain and sublime the friendship among four housewives in the trivial and major events of life, and how they become stronger in the ups and downs. Although it is a soap opera plot and something in it is fiction, the values and world outlook of the characters reflect the status of the contemporary USA women to a large extent. From these housewives, we can see there are certain similarities between Chinese women and American women, but the thoughts, idea, belief and so on also have great differences.This paper selects a new point of view to compare American families in Desperate Housewives with Chinese families in family values, which were analyzed and compared comprehensively, and form a wide coverage and a new research angle.‖ A certain space exists in the academic value and the development of this study.Desperate Housewives is a TV play launched by American Broadcasting Company. Since the launch, Desperate Housewives is definitely a rare screen works to thousands of thousands of viewers, compact plot, gripping suspense, exquisite scene props and first-rate acting made the play have a strong appeal, resulting in the play the ball in more than 130 countries and regions, which become a ratings winner in Australia, Britain and Singapore.Desperate Housewives has created a myth in American TV screens. Light and shade staggered Wisteria town for years, with the things changed, the housewives appearance haschanged dim from glowing with health on their face, but the whole drama has been presented the emotional story of marriage and family that in the further away but can not give up , at the same time, It also appear warm among the people.―Desperate Housewives is to reveal a fully and delightfully screen display of a realistic suburban middle-class life (李朝阳13)‖. The article reveals a kind of trivial and dark life that makes people broken-hearted by ironic expression from the angle of a dead housewife Marie. Perhaps, the black comedy is from the despair in the deep heart of contemporary people for life in the society, In fact, everyone has the bitterness and happiness, while we always blame everyone and everything, and think that others is joyful than ourselves, but did not think about how to make yourself happier tomorrow. The writer reveals the profound truth through the story of the characters in Desperate Housewives that people should take a positive attitude to face life and create a happier future life for ourselves.Desperate Housewives is so successful because the dark base that is attributed in part to screenwriter adjustable -- natural mode, which can break a light tone, then deep into the agency deep life.―Some people choose to be single in order to avoid trouble. Susan's mother and the real estate broker Addie are on behalf of the two kinds of housewives who are not in the aspiration for marriage‖(Houlgate 339). But there are more people still eager to love and believe in marriage, however, the real life often make people suffocated. Desperate Housewives amplifies this unfortunate aspects in the life, for example, the perfect woman is unable to create a perfect life, instead that her husband and children left from her, and a beautifulwoman married with a millionaire without avoiding emptiness, and women with the perfect family turned to be a single mother because she was abandoned by her husband over 30 years. These unfortunate stories were very depressed, but Desperate Housewives adhere to use the American humor method to dilute the plot, which brings the audience to an unforgettable depression, and enable the audience to think about these problems in a relaxed humor, so the play can meet the audience's sympathy and be accepted by them.Of course, if the Desperate Housewives shows only the endless troubles and dark, it is difficult to become a masterpiece. Surprisingly, the purpose of this play is to make a kind of hope in the desperate life of the housewives. The biggest bright of Desperate Housewives is the theme of hope and tolerance. Because both how tangled the plot structure , no matter how thrilling suspense, and Desperate Housewives will let you know that the conflict will ultimately have to compromise and harmony, selfish and mean idea finally will be get the correction of the conscience.Chapter I The brief Descreption of the Charactersin Desperate HousewivesNow, we will discuss the main relationship of Desperate Housewives. Susan Mayer—Susan is a divorced single mother who lives with her daughter Julie Mayer. She is a little bit silly but very Kind and sensibility. And she is committed to looking for loyalty and long lasting love. When she met Mike, a new plumber of Wisteria Lane, She thought that Cupid's arrow finally shot to her. After many twists and turns, she and Mike got married and gave birth to a son.Lynette Scavo—Lynette used to be a successful career woman. But now Four Naughty to tiresome children occupies her life. Moreover, Lynette sadly found that although she is Invincible in work, she could not get along well with the neighbors in the community. Then she get back to work, Leaves the housework to her husband, and cause the contradiction between husband and her. After adjustment they were able to put aside their differences and restore their relationship.Bree Van De Kamp—Bree tries to rule her family as a dictator rules a nation. From the garden to her husband all is under her control. Through Bree was shocked to found that her husband having an affair. Her reign of this family began to fall apart. Family chemist George who has psychological disease in order to get Bree love, he set Bree's husband Rex up and Led to his death. Bree‘s son Andrew foun d that his father's death was relevant to his mother and George, then cause Andrew‘s psychological distortion happens, and became a gay man.The youngest housewife—Gabrielle Solis, Gabrielle is young and beautiful. She married a wealthy man and lives in Luxurious house. All of these are enviable. However, these are unable to fill with her spiritual emptiness. She is interested in a 17 year old gardener, and having sex with him, and finally discovered by her husband Carlos. Then Carlos went bankrupt and blind. Gabrielle's life has undergone radical changes and become a living toiling housewife.Edie Britt—Edie are always seducing man. Firstly she hook-up with Susan's ex-husband. When she saw Susan dating with Mike, She seduced Mike. Edie are always proud of having gossip with men.There are five characters in the TV play, and they are five different kinds of housewife. They are the perfect housewife Bree who can be classified into the kind of Chinese housewife, the superman housewife Lynette who is regret for asking her husband to seek for high social status, the Single housewife Susan who keeps on carving love, the beautiful housewife Gabby who is a empty woman in the beautiful appearance, the coquettish housewife Edie who is view seducing men as interest.The four characters are neighbors. Every housewife considers things from their own interests. So they are often involved in conflicts from which a story will happen around a certain theme. And the next sector will make a detailed introduction of the theme for this play.Chapter II Chinese Family and Family Values2.1 Chinese FamiliesFirstly, from the view of the family structure, more and more Chinese families have only one child. Chinese family systems tend to be simpler, and the relations faced by family members are relatively simple. With the development of contemporary Chinese society, family structure and relationship is gradually changing, the traditional family extended into the core family. The one-child families are the smallest core family in our country, which is the typical family structure.On the relationship between family members, this model has the characteristics that it is simple. From the angle of family communication pattern, the differences between social culture and the values of the East and West results in the differences in family. In Chinese family, due to the influence of conservative ideas, most of the children do not discuss about sex with their parents. And the sex is considered a taboo topic. But, even if there is no communication, we can also send a very clear message.From the view of the family, Chinese families attach great importance to their children's education, and there is the larger investment and expectations to cultivate children's intellectual culture. In addition, they pay attention to self-discipline and etiquette, which will treat others like oneself as the basis of morality between person and person, and it makes the family members to get a complete unify of the personality and characters. Therefore, Chinese families pay more attention to the collective self (family) on the basis of individual and the interests of the whole family.2.2 Chinese Family ValuesChinese culture is a typical representative of eastern culture. America is a fusion of western culture, thus these two different cultural entities must embody different core cultural values. Chinese cultural values emphasize collectivism as the core, and personal interests must be subordinated to the interests of the collective. Family values of our current view shows a Chinese traditional "obvious closely intergenerational rel ationship‖ and the "intimate relationship is becoming more and more pure phase mixing trend with the influence of modernity and post modernity.We can explain the Chinese family value from the following three aspects. At first, Chinese people seek for living in harmony. The harmony is the core in the Chinese family value as the society advocate the harmony value in the modern China. From the ancient time to modern time, Chinese people almost think that the harmonious relationship between the wife and the husband, between the parents and children is the key factor for the happiness in the families. Secondly, Chinese families advocate caring for the young, respecting the old, and pursuing a lover for the whole life. So it is very common for people in China to see that the young people let their seats to the old people in the bus, and many people pay more attention to the young children.In modern China, there are some trends in the family value, and it can be explained from the following aspects. On the one hand, with the general improvement in educational degree and of the city, our family values development has revealed obvious characteristics of modernity, that is people put more emphasis on the solution of human nature and the pursuitof realization of self value, and the view of marriage is tend to more independent and individual with an equality and freedom, democracy and modern ideas. The sexual attitudes of the young people is gradual opening, the more consciousness of the value subjectivity on premarital sex make people tolerant on the cohabitation. Compared with other people who born in other period, the later generation‘s attitude on premarital cohabitation and homosexuality is in great acceptance, and the whole society obviously reveals more conservative trend in the concept of marriage.On the other hand, from the view of family values, our country has not reveals the post modern trend of a western style for atomic family with the demise of ties among family members. On the contrary, it also appeared a more stressed closer family obligations, intergenerational relations trend.Chapter III American Family and Family Values3.1 American Families―Family studies of western researchers believe that, with the influence of theguidance for the modern social and cultural values which emphasizedindividual rights, freedom, people take a more tolerant attitude to thoseproblems of divorce, equality and cohabitation. That is not accepted by peopleand the family structure is becoming diversified day by day‖ (Andrew 98).We can see American diversified family at present from Desperate Housewives, American families have more children. The typical representative is the couple Lynette and Thomas Scavo along with their five lively children. American family has more divorced families, families of reorganization and adoptive phenomenon. For example, Susan and Mike Delfino are combined in all the blessings of a new family.―There are obstruction resulted from less communication for brothers andsisters in the family, when they encounter emotional exchange, interaction willbecome more complex. In American families, fathers usually decideeverything‖ (Ahlburg 97).At the same time, the Father is also often the family's main source of income. Most of the power is in the hands of the fathers, they have more autocracy in family decision making. The family communications are very few. Overall, the decision model of America family tends to be more democratic, and the communication pattern is smooth and effective.Desperate Housewives reveals the second theme of an American free emotional balance, which refers to a kind of exaggerated humor mixed by dark and oppressive phenomenon, and it can make people enjoy both mentally and physically point of balance. The play not only tells the change of America middle-class life in times of change and ideology, but also countries to show a genuine American scene of life to others. On one hand, the director use Marie satirical vision to express his resentment and anger to certain aspects for the USA and Americans. on the other hand, using a variety of skills transfer American excellent aspects, such as ridicule each other in despair, the humor unconscious be revealed in the argument which cause people to think of and can make people laugh at the same time. Understanding optimistic to face difficult in life, and selective attention of the sun dilemma in social life, which is the American way of thinking, as the drama transmitted to us, in desperation, there is always hope, and this is not fiction story and selective attention of the housewife, but after the trials of life, they learn to smile and use love to face everything, and they also know what is most important, what really worth their brave.3.2 American Family Values―From America TV show Desperate Housewives, there are more equality, independence and respect, fewer obligations and responsibilities between members of American families‖(王恩铭27).Compared with Chinese families, these two kinds of different value orientation also show the difference between the ideal and reality in TV drama aesthetic style. ―Look at theAmerica concept of marriage and family in the following two aspects. ―In the Desperate Housewives, it take more attention to the individualism, the housewives emphasize individual rights, their attention is the independence and non nepotism‖ (朱永涛205).For example, Susan in order to date with Mike for convenience, tries various devices to make the lover to leave from her, in order to date with John again, when shopping with her Mother-in-law, Gabrielle put the unpaid goods into her handbag to make she was arrested, thus successfully she can get rid of her mother-in-law's monitoring. Susan ask her ex husband to apologize for termination of their marriage, the husband said that he want to conform the heart, and he fell in love with someone else. ―It is visible to see that the individual will meet more than about family and marriage responsibility‖(朱永涛74). Second, in the Desperate Housewives, personal power is more revealed. The rights consciousness in Americans family is very strong. American family rights consciousness refers to each member to themselves as the center rather than to the family as the center. Everyone in the family enjoys inviolability of personal rights in their own things, and other members have no right to interfere. If people in America fall in love, marriage, family, and job, they will make the choice by themselves alone, and others have no right to replace their choices.Chapter IV Comparison of Family Values betweenChinese and Americans4.1 Values Different in Marriage―The relationship between husband and wife is the most close and the mostlong interpersonal relationship, which is the most basic relationship in family.Understanding the fundamental difference between American cultural valuesand Chinese cultural values is very necessary for the understanding of the twodifferent views of marriage‖ (周英莉10).For Chinese marriage view, people tend to ―friendly‖ and they pay compassionate in dealing with sexual relations. When they encountered marital crisis, they will choose to take a tolerant attitude for the other side in order to maintain the whole family, although the crisis also still exist in the marriage. In a word, Chinese families pay more attention to ethics that the complete family is advocated by the society , while for American marriage view, they advocate the extreme individualism, which include the individual rights, freedom, and personal independence, and they emphasize innovation and enterprising. When they encountered marital crisis, they will choose the positive attitude to resolve the crisis, for example, in the Desperate Housewives, when Lynette Scavo who have four children finds that the marriage is tedious, and the marriage faces a crisis form the Ex- girlfriend of her husband, she choose take the positive attitude that using sexy clothes and dressing to enhance the temperament in the marriage in order to resolve the marriage crisis.4.1.1 Chinese marriage viewFor most Chinese couples, marriage is the most important question. With the end of a marriage, both spouses will be hurt greatly. Marriage is not a personal thing and it is entangled with various factors such as morality, responsibility and honor. In the influence of collectivism, Chinese couples will not put personal interests in the most important position, and they focus on their families. The establishment of a harmonious and happy family is the common goal of husband and wife in China. Because of this goal is the most important question in the marriage relationship, and this goal will not be achieved by emphasizing the vital interests of each member of the family, , everyone in the family should be humanized, tolerant and patient.The three values which are of equality, independence and right are throughout the America families. Harmonious and happy feelings of Americans are based on the three values. Americans emphasize the independence and equality among family members, to promote the independence of the individual and all on their own principle, which embodies the great individualism. "Every man for himself, and God for us all" is the American national faith, "individualism" is the starting point of American family values.4.1.2 American Marriage ViewAmerican couple spoke highly of individualism, and they use the rational principle of treatment of family members and family affairs. They respect each other's privacy and they rarely interfere with each other's affairs. Marriage life occupies a large part of their daily life,and both husband and wife focus on each other, but they seldom make blood relations involved. The husband will not be forced to succumb to his wife in the relationship between husband and wife, and he wanted his wife to have the independent personality, at the same time, in order to get his recognition of their independence. In American families, if both the husband and wife lose their individuality, it will mean the loss of their charm, however, emphasis on individuality and independence does not mean lack of emotional exchange between couples. Compared with Chinese couples, America couples pay more attention to the feelings between husband and wife to communicate, and they emphasize the mutual understanding, mutual trust, mutual benefit, which embodied by the chores and children's education problem.In Desperate Housewives, we dig out more of the self as the starting point of the individualism, the housewives emphasizes individual right and the duty, and pay attention to independence. The members in the marriage often take positive measures to deal with the marriage crisis. Although Mary is firmly for a divorce in the discovery of her first husband having an affair, because she still loves her husband, and finally she chooses to conform her real feelings to get together with her husband again, and she fell very happy, then she takes a positive attitude to get the key problem between her and her husband in order to solve the marriage crisis.The Male and female in America marriage plays the role of independent and equal. There are different expectations the roles of men and women in plays of different culture. In Desperate Housewives, as a housewife, they are industrious, delicate, sentimental, and inpursuit of perfection and pleasure. But when they encounter marriage crisis, they not hesitate to show a stronger than men: in the face of regret and derailed husband, Bree changed the past elegant style, rejected him to stop the divorce proceedings cold firmly, and to continue the revenge to the husband, the full-time wife Lynette instead her husband to return the workplace, she feel just like a fish in water, more prosperous. Even knowing Tom's daughter felt in love with Lynette, she still supports and trusts her husband. Gabrielle who can not do nothing past and resolutely refused to mother, after the love affair with young person to fill the empty, experienced a sudden turn for the worse social status to care for the blind husband, and decided to transition to have two daughters housewife image to tide over the difficulties. Therefore, the core of American marriage values is equal gender status. In order to maintain the stability of marriage and happiness, not necessarily a masculine men, women are not necessarily a feminine, and the independent and equal play roles in marriage will make sail voyage.4.2 Values Different in Education―In American dramas, we often see in the morning some children riding a bicycle to send the newspapers, and the car ride very fast, many Americanchildren go to work, such as delivering newspapers, milk, mowing the lawn,cleaning out the garage, in the restaurant playing as the waiter. They are doingso, not because their families are poor, but because they want to earn moremoney and to cultivate the ability through one's own efforts‖ (付晓雪137).。

五、对孩子观念的变化
在传统观念的家庭中 , 孩 子们的 成就和 幸福被 多数妇 女视 为生活 的最高目标。母亲们不愿送 孩子去 幼儿园 , 因为他 们认为 孩子 们太年 轻了。现在 , 学龄前儿童受 到社 会机构 的影响 比家庭 的影响 更多。幼 儿园帮助孩子成长得更独立、 更社会化 , 特别 是在成员较少 的家庭里的 孩子。与此同时 , 父母不遗 余力 地努力 工作。母亲 通常是 有自 己的工 作 , 超过三分之二的学龄前儿童的母亲是职 业女性 , 她们在 下班之后更 加珍惜与孩子们共度的时间。在剧中 , 苏珊、 加 布里埃和林内 特家中都 有小孩子。加布里埃起初选 择在家 里教她 的女儿 , 但结果 并不 令人满 意。而当孩子们 被送 到学校 , 母亲 可以 出外 工作或 者 做自 己的 事情。 孩子们可以在学校得到更 多的知 识。由于 妇女进 入劳动 大军 , 其生育 率却在不断降低。许多年轻夫妇不计划要 孩子。因为在一天 繁忙的工 作之后 , 他们需要为自己营造全部时间 和空间的休息。此外 , 无论在经 济和情感方面 , 养育儿女会带来更大的压力。 一般来说 , 我们已经看到 美国人 在婚姻 和家庭 关系观 念上 的巨大 变化。进入新的千年以来 , 美国 人的家 庭观念 的变化 仍在继 续。这种 变化是美国高速的经济和 社会发 展的必 然结 果。 同时 , 美 国城 市化也 加快了这种变化。核心家庭已发展为多种多 样的越来越被 普遍接受的 替代模式, 如单亲家庭、 同居家 庭、 再婚 家庭 , 甚至同 性恋家 庭。此外 , 人们对家庭情感交流付出 的更多 的关注。 他们关 心婚姻 的现状 , 珍惜 家庭成员的关系。因此 , 当婚姻生活有矛盾 难以解决时 , 夫妻 双方会选 择去看婚姻顾问来解决问 题。在剧 中 , 林内 特和布 雷都去 看分 别与她 们的丈夫都找婚姻顾问以 挽救自 己的婚 姻。虽然 , 可能未 必是 挽救婚 姻本身 , 至少对夫妇之间的情感交流是有帮助的。

的比率也直线上升。家庭中夫 妻、 亲子 的角色关系 也产生相 当的混淆。在一 个社区 凝固 力减低 的新 社会 , 家庭 孤立 , 毫 无后盾与保障的安全 网。传统 的价值受到极大的威胁。 1. 单 亲家 庭多。美 国的单 亲家 庭主要 是高 的离婚 率和 未婚先育造成 的。美 国是 个具 有多 元文 化的 国家 , 美 国人 崇尚个人自由 , 崇尚自力更生 , 个人重 大问题 的解决 不是靠 亲友的协助而是 直接 依赖 政府机 关。由于 美国 的社会 制度 造成了人与人之间没有太多的 互相依赖 , 因而美国 人的人际 关系变得比较冷漠 , 而婚姻生活 是一种 情感生 活 , 在 两口子 的生活里 , 夫妻反目或口角都是在所难免的。在美国 , 人与 人之间的情感交 流比 较受 限 , 夫妻 间的 冲突 所产 生的 情绪 障碍就不易获得疏导 , 日积月累很容易造成双方不和 , 情感 上就会出现创伤、 裂缝。当然由 于社会 习俗的原 因 , 双方都 不易得到向别人 宣泄 的机 会 , 这种 情感 上的 伤痕 便无 法弥 合而全面崩溃 , 最 终离 婚也 就不 可避 免了。 同时 由于 美国 人崇尚性自由 , 很多 女性很 早就 做了未 婚妈 妈 , 现在美 国大 学里为未婚 妈妈 提 供了 补助 , 这无 疑助 长 了单 亲家 庭 的增 加 , 而单亲家庭的孩 子 , 尤其是 男孩 子在成 长过 程中由 于缺 少男性楷模 , 其性格上难免会有缺陷。 绝望主妇 里的苏珊是个典型的例子 , 其母亲年亲的时 候与小区的杂货店老板生下了 她却没有结婚 , 苏珊 从小生活 的单亲家庭使她养成了爱管闲 事的性格 ; 其女茱莉 也是生活 在只有母亲的单 亲家庭 , 从 小缺 少父爱 , 这 也是 茱莉后 来找 了一个与自己父亲年龄差不离 的男友的原因 ; 同样 苏珊与迈 克的儿子 , 在他们离婚后也生活在了那 样一个只有 母亲的单 亲家庭里 , 这也是他 胆小的 根源 , 当 加布丽 尔的 女儿将 他推 倒在地时他都没有勇 气还击。由此可见 , 单亲家庭 环境对子 女的性格发展造成严 重障碍 , 成为美国的家庭危机之一。 2. 家庭关系紧张。造成美国 家庭关 系紧张 的原因 很多 , 有因为家长的教 子方 法有 误造成 的。布丽 总是 以强硬 的铁 腕风格治家 , 对孩子 的教育 上她 也采取 很强 硬的风 格 , 孩子 无法与她沟 通 , 说 出自 己 的想 法 , 布 丽甚 至怀 疑 孩子 嗑 药。 致使孩子们对她 产生 排斥 逆反心 理。最后 安德 鲁成为 一个 没有责任感和同情心的同性恋 少年 , 而 这些都是安 德鲁报复 自己的母亲手段 , 最 后布丽 只好 将安德 鲁送 走 , 自己进 了疗 养院 ; 还有因为工作、 子 女教育 和婚 外情引 起的 夫妻关 系紧 张。丽奈特为了 养活四 个孩 子 , 不得不 出去 工作 , 其丈 夫充 当了保姆和家庭 主妇的 角色 , 然 而丈 夫并不 适合 家庭工 作 , 总是无意识地将孩子 至于危险中 , 这样 便促成了夫 妻双方的 矛盾。此外其丈夫还有个私生 子 , 这无 疑给他们的 夫妻关系 造成了很大的障碍。因此 , 家庭关系紧 张也成了美 国家庭危 ( 上接第 85 页 ) [ 3] ( 法 ) 安德烈 纪徳 . 关于 陀思 妥耶夫 斯基 的六次 讲座 [ M ]. 余中先 , 译 . 广西师范大学出版社 , 2006.

通过《绝望主妇》看美国多元家庭模式
通过《绝望主妇》看美国多元家庭模式作者:王磊来源:《资治文摘》2016年第01期【摘要】《绝望主妇》是一部自2004年开播以来就风靡全球的美剧。
该剧全面展示了美国的多元家庭模式,如核心家庭、单亲父母、同性婚姻、同居伴侣等,与此同时向观众展示了美国中产阶级家庭生活的状况和追求自由、平等、快乐的家庭观念。
通过一代又一代家庭成员的成长与变化,家庭模式变化对孩子的影响也日益明显,同时对也有一些启发。
【关键词】《绝望主妇》;多元家庭模式;影响;启发《绝望主妇》是一部从2004年到2011年播出的季播剧,全剧共8季,以四个美国中产阶级家庭生活为主线,以虚拟的美景镇紫藤巷为背景,以家庭主妇为主角,通过一位已逝主妇的第三人称全知视角,用轻喜剧的方式向观众展示了丰富多彩、悲欢交织的美国家庭生活和自由开放的美国文化。
此剧的女主角为Susan、Bree、Lynette和Gaby,她们四位的家庭生活占据了全剧的大部分篇章,当然剧中还不断有新成员加入,如Bob和Lee这一对同性夫妻等,观众可以一览无余地观赏紫藤巷居民的喜怒哀乐。
邪恶背后的难言之隐以及光明背后的不堪都通过一家一家的生活展示出来,告诉人们生活一直是绝望的,却也一直是充满希望的。
随着美国社会的不断发展,美国的家庭模式也日益多元化。
一般认为,这种趋势从20世纪六十年代开始出现。
除了美国传统的核心家庭,单亲父母、同性婚姻、同居伴侣关系和丁克家庭也日益成为美国常见的家庭模式。
所以,传统意义上的家庭的概念被打破。
通常人们认为家庭是由婚姻和血缘关系连接的社会单位,但是结合多元的家庭模式,家庭的定义当有所改变。
美国海关申报表上将家庭定义为“因血缘、婚姻、同居伴侣关系或领养而在同一住户的家庭成员”。
这种新的家庭概念更能够准确描述美国当代的家庭状况。
结合《绝望主妇》,我们会对美国多元的家庭模式有更形象、更深刻的认识。
一、多元家庭模式1.传统核心家庭美国的核心家庭由父母和未成年子女组成。
从绝望的主妇看美国家庭教育的特点及对我国的启示
从《绝望的主妇》看美国家庭教育特点及对我国的启示【摘要】本文主要根据美剧《绝望的主妇》看美国家庭教育方式的特点,主要为:注重培养子女的独立意识和适应能力;建立民主平等的亲子关系;注重子女自信心的培养和树立明确的经济观念和经济独立意识。
据此来分析美国家庭教育方式对我国家庭教育的启示,主要包括:将孩子看成平等、自主的独立个体;转变“从众”观念,树立个性教育观及给孩子锻炼的机会三个方面。
【关键词】家庭教育;美国;特点;启示一、背景《绝望的主妇》是如今最受中国女性喜爱的美剧之一。
故事通过一个已故的家庭主妇的视角讲述了美国一个郊外小区紫藤巷里几个家庭之间的故事,故事情节跌宕起伏,其中有悲欢离合,也有钩心斗角;有爱情,也有亲情。
剧中演员们幽默的语言和夸张的表演已将当今美国人的家庭生活展现得淋漓尽致,该剧就像一面镜子,反射出了美国现代人们的生活状况。
本文就《绝望的主妇》中所表现的美国家长在教育子女的观念和做法方面做一些粗浅的介绍,以期能对中国的家长有所启示,为中国的家长们更好地培养孩子提供一点儿可借鉴的资料。
二、美国家庭教育方式的特点(一)注重培养子女的独立意识和适应能力美国家庭普遍认为,孩子的成长必须依靠自己的力量,为了让孩子更好地适应社会,在竞争中获胜,大多数的美国家庭不溺爱孩子,从小就要求他们独立自主,让他们承担一些力所能及的工作。
他们鼓励孩子从小就要自己拿主意,明白只有自己才知道自己需要什么、应该做什么,而不是大人让做什么就做什么。
孩子摔跤时,父母从不去管,都是鼓励孩子自己爬起来。
父母还要求几岁的孩子做家务劳动,如洗碗、扫地、洗衣服等,目的是培养孩子的自理能力,Tom在他的双胞胎儿子大概只有6,7岁的时候就让他们割花园里的杂草。
在美国,十八岁的孩子就开始独立生活、交友,不再依赖父母。
同时,他们鼓励孩子们参加各种实践活动,有意识的培养子女的独立意识和适应能力。
(二)建立民主平等的亲子关系在美国父母有养育子女的责任,但他们之间的关系是比较平等的。

该剧以生活在美国一个虚构的郊外住宅区紫藤街的几个中产阶级家庭以及邻里之间的故事为主线,展示了主妇们在爱情、亲情、友情道路上的探索与挣扎。
她们的生活表面上富足幸福,平静祥和,实际上自杀、谋杀、吸毒、绑架、纵火、性变态、家庭暴力、婚外恋等各种不堪的社会现实就充斥在身边。
睿智的编剧将不计其数的主妇形象拆解整合,塑造了四位风格各异的中产阶级女性代言人。
传统的束缚与她们独立自由的要求之间的矛盾不断激化,让她们各自面临着绝望。
精明强势的Lynette在如何平衡家庭和事业不断地尝试,对于五个调皮叛逆的孩子的教育以及与工作繁忙的丈夫苦苦维持大家庭成为她生活中的重心。

探析《绝望主妇》中美国人的价值观
艺术品鉴YI SHU PIN JIAN价值观是一个社会中辨别个人言行标准的抽象概念,是存在于人们头脑中不成文的法律,它处于文化的深层。
它既指一个人的处世态度,也包括一个人的信仰和爱好,希望与恐惧……一个人内心的价值观念无论多么错综复杂,都不可避免会在他的生活方式中表现出来。
《绝望主妇》就是一部反映家庭生活的伦理剧,这体现生活的方方面面。
笔者分析《绝望主妇》语言表象,发现了其中所体现的美国个人主义价值观。
自2004年《绝望主妇》在美国ABC电视网播出以来,在短短两个月内,该剧成为全美l0年来收视率攀升最快的剧集。
与传统的家庭剧相比,《绝望主妇》拥有家庭剧全新的切入点,即完美表象下的巨大遗憾。
虽然背景是一处比较富裕的小区,展现了美国中产阶级的大量日常生活片段,但这部系列剧的核心内容是“每一个家庭都有黑暗的小秘密”,阳光下的罪恶不断地在每一栋房子里上演。
在熟悉的场景范围内,该剧引导观众对社会价值进行反思。
一、国内外关于价值观研究的发展国外价值观的研究开始于20世纪30年代,至今已有80多年的历史。
20世纪50年代,由美国人类学家克拉克洪和斯乔贝克提出的价值观定义在西方心理学界确立了支配地位,从操作层面对价值观的各种定义进行了整合。
20世纪70年代,罗克奇把价值观理解为一种信念,更重要的是,他把价值观分为终极价值观和工具性价值观两方面,开始了从维度上对价值观的分析和测量,使价值观的研究进一步走向深入。
20世纪70年代末,霍夫斯泰德进行了一次迄今世界上最大规模的文化价值调查研究,用20多种语言从态度和价值观方面,对50多个国家和地区的1.6万名IBM进行了文化价值观调查和分析。
国内价值观的研究开始于20世纪60年代,至今已有50多年的历史。
国内价值观的研究最初源于使用外来的量表或理念,我国港台学者多倾向于直接引用西方学者的定义,这其中尤以克拉克洪大罗、罗克奇、施瓦茨的定义最为流行。
改革开放以来,中国社会转型时期的社会变动引发了人们价值观念的激烈变动。

Susan, a single mother, took a fancy to her new neighbor -the plumber, Mike. Lynette returned from her successful career to be a full-time housewife, taking care of her four children. Bree pursued perfection in everything, but her children disliked her and her husband betrayed her. Gabriell, who married a rich man, had an affair with young gardener as she was alone mentally. Now while trying to deal with their own all kinds of hectic problems and romantic lives, each year brings on a new mystery and more dark and twisted events to come. Life behind closed doors is about to be revealed as suburban life takes a funny and dark turn. The humorous words and exaggerate performance of the actors revealed modern American family life vividly. This television drama is just like a mirror which reflects the life condition ofAmerican people. Observing carefully, there are many family education patterns revolved in the plot. So this thesis paper analyzes the main traits of American family education from the popular American television drama Desperate Housewives.Zhang Na has analyzed Desperate Housewives from the perspective of feminism.Her article pointed that this TV series totally focus on the life of women life, which perfectly highlighted the theme of pure feminization. Her points were a little extreme, this TV does not totally describe women life, education and life of man also involved. Liang Tingting has given analysis of Desperate Housewives from the perspective of American women marriage. Her study indicated that the four housewives entered a Fortress Besieged of marriage pattern and they bounded their fate with marriage in name of love tightly. The description of A Fortress Besieged of marriage is very vivid and realistic to marriage life. From the perspective of cultural contrast between China and America, Fu Lei in his papers studied Desperate Housewives and pointed out the cultural differences between China and America in the aspect of family, social interaction and society. But few analyze Desperate Housewives from the aspect of American family education.Most people including some parents may say that family education simply m eans raising and educating. However, it is never the case. Family education is mo re than raising and educating. A General Introduction of Chen Heqin’s Thoug hts onPreschool Education defines family education as “Family education is a society u se to educate new generation with aims and systems”. Therefore parents need to know how to carry out family education with right aims and system.This article combines the plot of Desperate Housewives and the real situation of modern American family education to analyze the main features of American family education from the popular American television drama Desperate Housewives. In the end, finding out the following four main traits:establishing democratic and equal parent-child relationship; emphasizing fostering filial consciousness of independence and ability to adapt; paying attention to the cultivation of filial confidence and educating children set up explicit economic idea and awareness of economic independence. According to these traits of American family education pattern, summarizing some enlightenment to our country’s family education.Chapter 2 Main Traits of American Family EducationAccording to the analysis of Desperate Housewives, There are four main traits of American family education. They are establishing democratic and equal parent-child relationship, emphasizing fostering filial personality of independence and ability to adapt, paying attention to the cultivation of filial confidence and educating children set up explicit economic idea and awareness of economic independence.2.1 Establishing Democratic and Equal Parent-child RelationshipAmerican family education emphasize on democracy and equality. In America, parents take the responsibility of raising their children. But parents and children share an equal relationship. Children are supposed to respect their parents, while parents also need to respect their children. In the aspect of salutation, children can call their parents’name directly, just like call their friends. In Desperate Housewives, Susan and her daughter are relatively free, equal and harmonious. They are not superior to each other in the aspect ofposition. There is also no enforce and suppress exists between them. On the contrary, they often talked freely and share opinions with each other. Even the daughter, Julie, often give advices to her mother, Susan. Julie was always a supporter and adviser to accompany her mother when Susan’s life and marriage were in a great mess. Therefore a harmonious family atmosphere is created in her family. Actually American parents pay much attention to children’s thoughts and opinions. It gives children an opportunity to express their ideas. In America, parents will not enter the private space of their children without their permission. To some extend, it is a kind of respect towards children. When children make mistakes, parents always tend to explain patiently and bring out the facts and reasons to them rather than blaming them directly. Polite words are often used when parents talk to their children. For instance, when they ask children for help, they will say like this “Could you help me with the rubbish?’’. Growing in this kind of democratic atmosphere, children can feel other people’s respect. It will naturally make them be aware of respecting others. In America, when faced with problems, parents will respect children’s opinions. Even sometimes parents will ask for children’s suggestion forwardly. Children are welcomed and encouraged to join the discussion of family affairs decision. In Desperate Housewives, Lynette says to her child:“Honey, you are old enough now. You should make your own decision rather than always depending on us to provide suggestions. Democratic and equal family education pattern indeed gives American children an opportunity to express their thoughts and make decisions by themselves. This kind of family education also greatly cultivates the characteristics of children to considerate independently, dare to try and equipped with the pioneering spirit.2.2 Fostering Filial Personality of Independence and Ability to AdaptAmerican family education aims to cultivate children to be a “social person”, “independent person”. Parents hope their children are equipped with the abilityto adapt to all kinds of social environment and live independently. They believe that tutoring study is the business of school and teacher, the aim of education is not to prepare for making a living but prepare for living. They pay more attention to the value built for mood not related to career or utility. It is commonly believed in American families that children have to depend on themselves to grow up. In order to make their children adapt to society better and win in the fierce competition, most American families do not spoil children. On the one hand, they demand their children to be independent and encourage them to take some work that they are able to finish. Parents help children with the work beyond their ability. American parents always encourage children to express their thoughts and make their own decisions. Children are supposed to realize that only them, themselves know clearly what they really need and what should they do rather than acting by parents’ willing or decision. Only thinking independently can they be independently. When child fall down, parents never interrupt, but encouraging him to get up by himself. Parents often ask children from an early age to do some simple housework, such as cleaning dishes, sweeping the floor, washing clothes and so on. Parents do these aims to cultivate children the self-care ability. So that children can be able to take care of themselves independently and adapt to the society better. In Desperate Housewives, Tom asked his twins brother sons to cut the grass in the garden when they are about six or seven years old. Maybe they can not do it well, but at least they experience it and realize independence gradually. In America, children aged eighteen have begin to live and make friends independently. They are not supposed to rely on their parents any more. In Desperate Housewives, Lynette asked her son to move out from the house after he made girlfriend and prepared to get married. So his son rented his neighbor’s house. And also he made money by himself. On the other hand, parents encourage children to take part in various practical activities. Children engage in all kinds of activities and get to be familiar with all kinds of things. At the same time, they can accumulate some experience through the activities they involved. So that it can be more easily toadapt themselves to the society. In this way, parents develop children the consciousness of independence and the ability of adjustment.2.3 Cultivating Filial ConfidenceNo doubt, confidence plays an important role in people’s whole life development no matter intellectually or physically. Confidence also has influence on the ability of dealing with all kinds of things. People who lake confidence will suffer deficiency of activeness in any ability development. Actually activeness of people has crucial impact on the stimulation of people’s sense organ and its function as well as its comprehensive ability. So it is a very wise action that American family education pays great attention to the development of filial confidence. Actually praise and encouragement occupy a large proportion in ways of American family education. For example, American parents often encourage children to join football team, volleyball tem as well as softball team and so on. It often happens that the coach is the parents of students. Parents often come to cheer or serve when children have a contest. In Desperate Housewives, in order to make her son gain confidence, Lynette accompanied his son to practice play balls even chose to bribe a child, the opponent of her son in this match, with money to make him lose the game deliberately. Although her action is not so favorable, the aim is to build confidence for her child. Unlike many Chinese patents, America parents always praise their children for even a little progress. They often say words like this “You are great, I am very proud of you!’’ to their children to make them feel their value, build confidence and make further progress. Making children believe that parents are their firm supporter on the journey of their life. Once children realize their words and efforts are recognized and worthy, they naturally feel the value of themselves and build up their confidence.2.4 educating children set up explicit economic idea and awareness ofeconomic independenceThere is no doubt that explicit economic idea and awareness of economic independence play a very important role in one’s whole life. So it’s the same with child. That is why parents try to educate their children to build up clear economic idea and awareness of economic independence from an earlyage .American parents seem to be “mean” in many people’s eyes. Although many American families are rich enough, parents have strict regulations on children’s pocket money. It is surveyed that about fifty-four percent teenagers have no pocket money and about sixty-eight percent teenagers do some part time job to earn pocket money. Actually American parents never satisfy children’s requirements casually but to encourage them to earn money by their own labor. Even the underage children need to earn some pocket money through doing some simple housework. Elder children will work on some manual labor to make some money for their own expenses during vacations. After eighteen, basically children do not accept parents’ finance any more. In Desperate Housewives, Andrew, son of Bree, serve as a waiter to make some pocket money in Tom’s pizza restaurant rather than ask pocket money from his mom. American fathers usually refuse to give children rights of inheritance of their property. Gatsby acclaimed that he only left each child ten millions in his property of eighteen point five billion. He will contribute the left to philanthropy. It’s commonly accepted by the American parents that it is the worst thing in life to make children sit idle and enjoy the fruits of other’s work. It will rob children the opportunity of experiencing success and failure. Children are taught to consume with plan, to spend pocket money with limit and to earn money with efforts. In this way, educating children set up explicit economic idea and awareness of economic independence.Chapter3. Enlightenments to Chinese family educationThis chapter will introduce some enlightenment to Chinese family education according to the features of American family education obtaining from Desperate Housewives and the real American family education situation. Given that there still some malpractice exists in Chinese family education pattern.3.1 regarding children as equal, independent individualsIt’s true that everyone is unwilling to accept the decision that forced on them. Neither do children. They hope to make choice by their own willing. Children would like to share equal position with families on the basis of respect and understanding. That means parents are supposed to regard children as equal and independent individuals rather than their subsidiary. Nowadays many Chinese parents do not regard children as independent individuals but a tool to realize the dreams of parents. They help children choose their hobby, majors, friends, jobs even marriage. To some extent, it greatly deprives children of right of equality and independence. So for some parents, it’s time to change their thoughts and way of education. What parents need to act is guide not decide. They need to identify children as a person who is equal to them, respect children and try to create democratic family atmosphere. As for the affairs related to children, parents need to give children rights of freely choose and respect, support the decision made by children. Let children choose and plan their own life. Let children themselves be the master of their own life.3.2 offering children opportunities of annealMany Chinese parents are afraid of children suffer difficulties. They try their best to provide as good living environment as possible, making meals for them, cleaning up rooms for them even bring meals to classroom for them. They try to arrange and do everything for children. However they ignore the importance of experiencing life anneal. They do not realize the importance of anneal for children’s development. Actually in order to make children equipped with the ability and courage to face and solve the difficulties they will embody in all kinds of situation, they should get proper anneal through life. Parents do not need to deal all the things for children. In daily life, parents can demand children take part of housework, something they are capable to do, such as washing dishes or clothes. Also they can encourage children to do some part jobs and takepart in all kinds of activities in and out schools. These things indeed can offer opportunities for children to get to know the society better and gain some experience through the things they engage.3.3 encouraging children frequentlyEncouragement actually plays a crucial role in family education. American parents always encourage and praise their children to cultivate children’s confidence. However, many Chinese parents tend to blame children and make comparison between their children and other children. They seldom praise children even if children make progress or behave well. It will discourage children greatly and influence their behavior. Parents need to praise and encourage children more frequently so that children can gain confidence gradually. Actually confidence can make great contribution to one’s success and development.Chapter4 conclusionThe analysis of the main traits of American family education from the popular American television drama Desperate Housewives Turn out that American education emphasis on democratic and equal parent-child relationship, filial personality of independence and ability to adapt as well as filial confidenceand explicit economic idea and awareness of economic independence . Family education is the basic of school education and social education. It can not be replaced by school education and social education. While family is first school for children as well as an eternal school where education can exists during person’s whole life. Parents are the first teacher and an eternal teacher that can not be replaced. So the education view of parents means a lot to the development of children. Recent years, our government has always advocated educational reform. Quality-oriented education has been mentioning in education circles. But quality-oriented education can not be accomplished well only by counting on school education. It calls for the joint effort of school, family and society. Therefore parents are supposed to set up right and proper educational view to cultivate their children to be a competitive person in the society. Chinese parents can learn something from the traits of American education to adjust their way of family education properly.Due to the author’s lack in chance to grow in an American family and experience American family education personally, and to some extent, the author’s knowledge of American family education and Desperate Housewives is limited, some points in this paper were not so perfect. Also, if access to American family education in real life for a long time and studying Desperate Housewives deeper, the effects will be much clearer.ReferenceSegarra, J.A. &Dobles, R.R.

从《绝望的主妇》中丽奈特的教育观/家庭观看中西方文化的差异
宏杰(内蒙古财经大学外国语学院,内蒙古呼和浩特010050)[摘要]东西方文化自古以来由于地域环境、人文、风俗的差异而呈现出各种各样的差别,这些差别表现在社会以及生活的各个方面,比如家庭、教育、社会文化、风俗习惯等方面。
本文针对电视剧《绝望的主妇》中呈现出来的西方国家生活文化的态势,让我们从剧中丽奈特的家庭观、教育观等不同方面去看西方文化,并针对剧中体现出来的教育观、家庭观同中国的教育观及家庭观进行适当对比,以便我们从中受到启发,了解一下中西方文化的差异。
[关键词]教育观;家庭观;中西方;文化;差异中图分类号:J905文献标识码:A文章编号:1672-8610(2013)9-0042-02不同的国家、地域以及不同文化环境中的人们,对于家庭观和教育观有着不一样的理解和诠释,因此,中西方在各个领域存在着较大差异,其家庭观、教育观也存在着较大差异。
众所周知,《绝望的主妇》2004年开播以来,陆续用了8年时间才播完,一部电视剧能连续8年时间,在全球风靡一时,在说明这部电视剧成功的同时,也必然有其独到之处。
在《绝望的主妇》中由赫夫曼饰演的丽奈特之所以那么出众,在肯定赫夫曼演技的同时,最重要的一点或许是剧中的丽奈特身上不仅表现出了女性固有的温柔、体贴和贤惠,还表现出了现代职场女性特有的干练和果敢,可以说剧中的丽奈特和现实生活非常接近,她几乎和我们生活中的家庭主妇没有两样,但又不完全是真正意义上的家庭主妇,她是一个现实与理想的混合体。
下面我们就针对《绝望的主妇》中丽奈特的一些故事,看看当今世界中西方在教育观和家庭观上的一些区别:一、从《绝望的主妇》中看中西方教育观的差异(一)从《绝望的主妇》中丽奈特教育倾向看中西方文化的差异在《绝望的主妇》中的四位家庭主妇中有一位伊娃,她是新一代美国移民的代表,其他三位都是母亲,剧中的丽奈特从不打骂、强迫孩子,她尊重孩子的选择,理解孩子的心理,并且,丽奈特能给孩子提供一个独立自主的成长环境,培养孩子的独立生存能力,她可以根据孩子的成长、变化和特点不断调整教育方式。
