美国家庭
The children
• In the process of their socialization children learn to ―look out for number one‖ and to ―stand on their own two feet‖. • Many children are taught at a very early age to make decisions and be responsible for their actions. Often children work for money outside the home as a first step to establishing autonomy. • Receiving a weekly allowance at an early age teaches children to budget their money, preparing them for future financial
Love, Self-reliance and Independence
• A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. • Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence.
Mobile homes
• More than 7 million Americans live in mobile homes (once called house trailers). Mobile homes are living quarters built with wheels. They can be moved, but generally they are brought to a site that is intended to be more or less permanent. Then the wheels are removed, and the home is fastened to the ground. • Because they cost much less than conventional

美国家庭
美国家庭在历史上经历了很多变化，而且目前仍在变化中。
在过去，美国家庭非常团结，家庭成员通常一起住、一起工作，年 老者受到年轻人的尊敬。但是随着社会的发展，人们只关心事业上 的成功。这样家庭成员可能会到不同的城市，互相离得非常远，美 国的年轻人深受这种现代观念的影响。他们变得越来越独立，而且 不太关心家庭。他们知道如何享受生活而不知道如何养家。家庭很 容易因婚姻而破裂，现在让大家深信不疑的是因为高离婚率和低结 婚率，美国家庭正在趋于消亡。

美国文化之家庭课件family_life_
Family values
The following are what a majority of Americans agree as family values: 1. Respecting one’s parents 2. Being responsible for one’s actions 3. Having faith in God 4. Respecting authority 5. Married to the same person for a lifetime
Cohabitation
Cohabitation, or trial marriage has become widespread in America.
Many people, who choose to delay marriage or remain single, view cohabitation as an alternative to marriage. Approximately 45% of young people have cohabited for some length of time.
Divorce
Before 1970, divorce laws had based on the concept of fault. After 1970, all the 50 States adopted no-fault divorce. Divorce should be granted on the basis of irreconcilable differences that have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage . The majority of American women value companionship as the most important part of marriage. Other values, such as having economic support and the opportunity to have children, although important, are seen by many as less important. If the couple is not happy, the individuals may choose to get a DIVORCE.
第7课(下)：The Changing American Family.doc
The Changing American Family变化中的美国人的家庭The family is important to people all over the world although the structure of the family is quite different from one country to another.In the United States,as in many countries in the world, the family is changing.A generation or two ago,the traditional family,in which the father was boss,was customary.Now,the modern family,in which both the father and the mother are equal partners,is more common.Although there are several similarities between the traditional and the modern family,there are also some very important differences.家庭对于全世界各国人民来说都是非常重要的，尽管某一国家同另外某一国家的家庭的结构是完全不同的。
但在美国也正像世界上很多国家一样，家庭正在变革。
一两代人以前，传统旧式家庭习惯上都是父亲是一家之主；现在，现代新式家庭中，更多见的是父母双方以平等的伴侣身份出现。
尽管在传统旧式家庭与现代新式家庭之间有些相似之处，但也有着一些很重要的不同之处。
The traditional family of yesterday and the modern family of today have several similarities. The traditional family was a nuclear family,and the modern family is,too.The role of the father in the traditional family was to provide for his family.Similarly,the father in the modern family is expected to do so,also.The mother in the traditional family took care of the children's physical and emotional needs just as the modern mother does.昔日的传统旧式家庭和今日现代新式家庭之间的一些相似之处就是：传统旧式家庭是核心小家庭，现代新式家庭也是核心小家庭。

American family
The traditional American family is a "nuclear family." A nuclear family refers to a husband and wife and their children. The average American family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). In some cultures, people live close to their extended family. Several generations may even live together. In America, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof.
传统的美国家庭被称为「核心家庭」。
核心家庭包含了先生、太太和小孩子，今日美国的一般家庭有二个或三个小孩（或者再加上几只宠物）。
在一些文化里，大家庭住在一起，甚至好几代的人同住。
在美国，只有极少的情况下才会有超过一个家庭同住一个屋檐下。
American values receive a warm welcome in the home. Many homes are run like a democracy. Each family member can have a say. A sense of equality often exists in American homes. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad, children may think of them as good friends. Husbands and wives often share household chores. In many cases, a child can enjoy privacy in his or her own bedroom. From an early age, children gain responsibility in handling money. They may receive a weekly allowance or even work part-time jobs. Often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions. Preschoolers choose what clothes to wear or which toys to buy. Young adults generally make their own choices about what career to pursue and whom to marry.
美国人看重对家人回家时热诚的欢迎。
许多家庭用民主政治般的方式来治理，家中每个人都有发言权利，公平观念广泛存在于美国的家庭当中；除了敬畏之情外，孩子们也将父母亲当成好朋友，夫妇经常彼此共同分担家务；许多家庭的孩子在自己的卧室内享有隐私权；孩子们在很小的时候便有理财的责任，他们可能每个礼拜会有零用钱或是出去打工；父母亲常会给孩子们自己做决定的自由，学龄前的孩子可以自己选择穿什衣服或买什么玩具，青年人则可自由选择职业及结婚的对象。
Families in America, like those in every culture, face many problems. Social pressures are breaking apart more and more American homes. Over half of U.S. marriages now end in divorce. More than one in four American children are growing up in single-parent homes. As a result, many people believe the American family is in trouble.
正如许多其它文化一样，美国的家庭也面对许多问题。
社会的压力正将愈来愈多的美国家庭解体。
现在，超过半数以上的婚姻在美国是以离婚做结束；每四个小孩中就有超过一位是由单亲养育长大的，它的结果是造成了许多人相信美国家庭有麻烦了。
Even so, there is still reason for hope. Many organizations are working hard to strengthen families. Americans almost unanimously believe that the family is one of the most important parts of life. The vast majority also feel that the traditional two-parent family is best for children. They realize that problems in family life in recent years have brought about serious consequences. As a result, more and more people are making their family a priority. Many women
are quitting their jobs to stay home with their children. Families are going on vacations and outings together. Husbands and wives are making a concentrated effort to keep their marriages solid.
即使如此，还是有盼望。
许多机构正努力巩固家庭。
几乎所有的美国人都相信家庭是生命中最重要的一部份。
大多数人也认为传统双亲式的家庭对小孩子是最好的。
他们明白近来家庭生活的问题，已带来了许多严重的结果。
所以，愈来愈多的人将家庭视为第一优先。
许多妇女辞去工作在家陪孩子。
全家人一起渡假或出去玩，丈夫与妻子一起集中心力使婚姻稳固。
