Chapter 9 Family
May 15th of 2006 is the eleventh International Family Day. Since 1980s, the number of the families in the world has been increasing greatly; while the family scales have been shrinking steadily, and people’s conception of family has changed a lot. All of these changes bring about a great shock to the whole society along. In this chapter we will mainly talk about the families of the two cultures from the following aspects:
1. Residence and Privacy 2. Parents and Children
3. Housework
4. Family Structure
Ⅰ. Residence and Privacy
1.There is always a big or small yard in most western homes, with some bushes around the yard. But there seldom is any tall and big enclosing wall. Many Americans just use some curtains or shutters to separate the inside from the outside.
2. As for the inside arrangements of the house, there are also some differences. The westerners put on much stress on their personal space. Therefore, respectively there is a door in the bathroom, bedroom, sittingroom or even the kitchen. Nobody can invade anyone else’s personal space: parents have no the freedom to enter the children’s room, and the same with the children.

In many Chinese families, unless there are married children, there are few personal rights. Some Chinese children, even with a big house, may stay with their parents until several years old. Parents can interfere in their children’s affairs, and children also have the right to use their parents’ articles. When the children break something, their parents may blame them for the breaking but not for their privacy.
Ⅱ. Parents and Children
On the relationship between the parents and children, there are a lot of differences between the two cultures. 1.The Westerners pay much attention to their children’s rights. This can be embodied in so many organizations for children, such as the Children’s Welfare Association mentioned in the movie Guasha. While in China, parents are in full charge of their children.
While in China, the houses are always enclosed by a very tall and big wall, which often separates the inside world apart from the outside completely. From the outside world, people can just see the roof. Behind the tall wall, there is a shorter one, with a wooden screen separating the outside from the inside again.
2. In the Western countries, parents may learn from their children, especially, they are proud of this behavior. The important thing for the parents is what they should do for their children. The Chinese parents seldom learn from their children. What they stress is what can their children do for them, even when the children are learning for their future, they may put on this mission--- for their parents’ sake.
