Introduction

Family
is
the
most
basic
unit
of
all
human
society.
It
reflects the ethical values of a society, its cultural characteristics
and
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.

The differences of family values.
A.

The individualism VS. the collectivism
The
American
emphasize
the
personal
independence,while
Chinese
emphasize
on
the
whole
family,
not
any
individual
en
in
America
have
more
freedom
than
that
in

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 in
the
relevant
field,
and
their
family
members
only
give
suggestions
to

key
point
of
its
society
is
sly
,
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
their
relationships 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
the
theory 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 the
