Marriage Across Nations 跨国婚姻价值观
●As cultural change depends, the number of marriage across nations isincreasing .however ,such marriage tends to bring about problems and even meet with opposition from family numbers ,mainly due to cultural difference .due to the fact that the couple has a different family background ,culture ,and custom ,and social class level ,many disagreements can occur .●随着文化变化的发展,跨国婚姻的数量越来越多。
让而,这样的婚姻会带来很多问题以及会遇到跟家庭的很多相反面,主要是由于文化之间的不同,还有夫妻之间拥有不同家庭背景,文化和风俗以及社会阶级,那么很多的分歧就会出现●One of the problems is that these girls take with them cultural values about sharing andresponsibility that are different from the individualistic values in the West. Asian cultures are based on collectivism, Asian people tend to be interdependent and supportive. In contrast, Western culture is rooted in individualism. Private belongings are one’s own.When an Asian girl marries a Westerner, she reasons in the same manner as before. She will have no understanding of pre-nuptial agreements. These girls are often rudely disillusioned by such discoveries.●其中的一个问题就是这些姑娘们带着有福共享有难同挡的文化价值观,这与西方的个人主义价值观迥然不同. 亚州文化往往以集体主义精神为基础。

marriage across nations
At present, with the development of the economy, the cultural exchange becomes deeper and deeper, which lead to the increasing number of marriage across nations.As a matter of fact, different people have different opinions on the marriage across nations. Some people consider that it can benefit us a lot .This is because we can get insight into new culture as well as learn a foreign language. Others think that it is not a good idea. Due to the cultural difference, it will result in divorce easily. In my pinion, marriage across nations can cause a series of problems within the family. On one hand, it is difficult to adjust to a new culture and to those parts of customs not families to you. Religion can be a problem. Because some religions celebrate certain holidays while others don’t. In addition, eating habits can also be a problem. One might eat certain food that the other dislikes to eat. On the other hand, we may have difficulty in overcoming the complex racial discrimination. For instance, the black will be discriminated by America. What’s more, children who are mixed are not likely to be accepted in certain areas in a community. They will be have a hard time fitting in.In a word, each coin has two sides, so dose mixed marriage. So long as we can learn tolerance, compromise , and to be openwith others, all the problems can be solved.。
