Collision Of Emotion And Rationality

The family is the product of society, it as a civilized society arising from the arrival, along with social development and changes, is of extraordinary social significance. Family culture is closely linked with the socio-cultural, from the study of family culture can be closely watching almost the full picture of the socio-cultural, family culture can be passed on to different social and cultural.Family culture of any country in the national mainstream culture governed by the impact of china-US family culture itself. From the Han Dynasty now, Confucian culture has always occupy a dominant position in Chinese culture.It can be said that the other types of Chinese culture is basically derived from Confucian culture out of the shadow of a Confucian culture. Confucian culture is the core of "Ren" and "Li". "Ren" is emphasized by the Confucian culture, ethics, morality is a noble ideological realm and treat individuals, others, the collective, and social values and value orientation. And "Li" is on Confucian ethics, grades and the concentrated expression of views of all ages, performance grading system for the obedience of the Zun-Chang awe, Jun relations unconditional compliance and the filial piety to their parents. In Confucian culture, the concept of individual groups only in the individual, not the so-called personal freedom, awareness and independence. Everyone should submit to their host groups, the group emphasizes individual recognition and attribution. Therefore, Confucian culture to teach people to caring inherent morality and values, with "Li" to regulate people's behavior and external performance. American culture by the European cultural influences comparison. On the social contract is not only the United States political system and social system is the foundation of American society is the mainstream culture and cultural origins. And the family as the smallest social composition inevitably be the impact of the social contract, or say that the United States is in the family culture of the impact of the social contract formed. In American society, the individual's "personal consciousness" is very strong. Bring equality in the social contract of the powers at the same time ensure that the individuals have equal social status. Everyone is a lease-makers and also compliance with the contract, everyone is consciously safeguard the lease contract also enjoy the power of the individual and not much different between individuals. Freedom of thinking power provides the theoretical basis of equality, and equal to the power of freedom to provide a systematic guarantee. But at the same time bring freedom and equality of the independent will of the individual families and has weakened the link between the individual.China's cultural emphasis on family morality, and ethics at the law, and the United States stressed the family culture of individual freedom, equality and social rationality. Biased towards making the concept of different family culture in the two other aspects of the natural performance is different.In dealing with family and personal relations, and China's family culture of the blood involved in the detention of family members in their own family, people meet in the family's narrow social circle, to the realization of self-worth and self-satisfaction are based on family life in. In the social life and spiritual life, the Chinese family plays rely on the personal protector and the role of the soul. American family culture emphasis on self-development and to respect the independence of the family members haven made the personal decision. A strong sense of personal, family makes in terms of the individual does not have a special, and powerful control, family members have maintained a close relationship between the distance. Compared to family life, the individual more inclined to broad social value of self-realization, and a social life penetrated family life signs. In the family emotional, family culture in China is the love of the strengthened relationship between the product of blood, is a family responsibility and obligation. In this emotional and powerful under the influence of love, the relationship between the family members become very close, but the independence and personal qualities is overlooked. Family in the United States, individuals will lead family life. Although blood relationship with certain binding, but it is not hard and fast rules, nor is mandatory to have a love of interaction between the individual is in a kind of rational thinking on the basis of emotion built up. Members of the family relations, China's cultural heritage of the Chinese family thousands of inherited patriarchal tradition. In China's family, the male is symbolic and representative of the family, they bear the responsibility of the family is to the continuation of family ancestry. It can be said that China is the family around the male members of the family set up, and the advancement of women generally lower than men. American families are in couples on the basis of equality built. Both spouses to comply with the same contract, has the same rights and obligations of husband and wife relationship is the core of family relations. Although there are between husband and wife division, but this division is not built on the basis of gender differences, no matter what kind of husband and wife live mode, as long as it is from the specific circumstances of the family, are acceptable. China's family culture, family, relationship with their parents is the best summation. Parental responsibility, children, parents are bound to hold obligations. Filial piety to their parents firmly in control of their children's behavior and will also disguise the shackles of their parents lives. Family culture in the United States, children being treated as an individual, independent of their adult parents of the family, they also assume responsibility for their own only to its own obligations. The relationship between parents and children are not close, but a rational basis, emerge from the independent individual close. In marriage, the marriage of China's family to seek the stability of the continuity of the family, while the United States is the concept of marriage through marriage to achieve self-realization and meet. In Chinese society, morality is a matter of personal principle, but also to judge the individual community standards. In the social and family life, courtesy, ethics replaced rational thinking, contrary to the moral standards of any acts will be regarded as a "crisis." And in promoting human liberation and independence of the individual in American society, people of all emotional changes are as human nature, in the face of a sincere heart, it is reasonable to exist. The combination of family, and the dissolution of contradictions, but the family is an indispensable part of the development process it. Clearly, the family crisis is not true, the existence of absolute, but relative, social values and differences of the product of the marriage.With family and the community have a civilized, with the development of society and constantly changing. In the recorded history of the family and social model is always the political system and the development process closely linked, and can be said to have any kind of social system will be developed to keep pace with the social, cultural and family culture. To a certain extent, the China-US cultural differences are families of the two countries at different stages of social development caused by the imbalance is a manifestation of social development, is the difference in the performance of the social system, different stages of social development and cultural expression. Social and political development of the system and limit the impact of social and cultural development, and family culture also subject to social, cultural, and therefore become a family culture and social development process reflected the reality, which makes the development of a family of "regular" campaign , and this trend is foreseeable. As the process of globalization has deepened, exchanges between the countries move toward deeper cultural fields. Cultural societies to become more international, more inclusive. Showing a convergence of social and cultural situation, social and cultural convergence of the impact spread to every aspect of social life, including of course the family. Therefore, no matter how the family culture is complex and varied, with the development of society will slowly emerged of the same trend. Although in the future has not yet come to that moment, no one can jump to the conclusion family, but we are sure of is: can the foreseeable future, the family is the controlling power of the individual will not disappear.
