Family
In the class and through the textbook, I can learn a lot about Family of U.S and Japan. It is kind of culture shock to me.
First of all, in U.S, they have good relationship with their parents. The books said that they are close with their parents like friends and they express their assertions and opinions freely. Also they just have small pressure about going to college. They don’t think that students should enter college for better life. But through the discussion in class, in present U.S, they also have so many pressures about college and some students don’t have good relationships with their parents. Emily who is Colorado Uni. Student says most of her friends and she have had a lot of pressures since high school, and most of parents are very strict about academic works before playing with friends.
And they don’t treat about divorce like shame of their own life. This is common situation in U.S. and I was surprised that even though they divorced, they still have good relationships. It can not be happened in Korea.
Second, because of Japan had influenced Confucianism like Korea and China, they have strict relationships with their parents. They don’t threat their parents as a friend and they can not have a chance talking with their parents well. They have lots of pressure about academic things so they have lots of troubles with their parents since they were young. In recently, rate of divorce is increasing and it can be social problem.
MY country, Korea, is similar with Japan. Going to good college is the best issue in Family. I also had so many pressures since I entered elementary school and still now. Rate of divorce is also increasing and people threat it as a shame. One different thing with U.S, they come and go with their relative regularly when they meet holiday. They often have a meal and trip together.
