12、ural transmission is education which is also cultural originally. Family, school and social education are the three main part of the education. But family education should not be replaced by school and social education. When children were born they had been in the atmosphere of family education, Gen

13、erally speaking it indicates that behaviors of criticism, guidance, cultivation and administration by the parents. It plays an important role not only in modeling values but also cultivate a unique nationalism to our children. For instance, Chinese culture attaches importance to the harmony between

14、human and nature but Americans pay more attention to overcome the nature by them. The family education between China and American exist a significant difference. For example, in the mutual relationship of family members, Chinese parents almost in the dominant position of it but American parents atta

About the concept of childcare, Chinese parents almost hope their kids can find a good job to be prosperous in the future but American parents lay stress on promoting their kids capability of living adaptation. About the ways of education

16、between China and America, Chinese parents are willing to undertake the whole things for giving their kids more time to spend on study but American parents tend to make their children do many practical things all by themselves. The disparity between two countries which results in the living adaptati

17、on of Chinese children is inferior to American children. It is meaningful to promote children to grow healthily and enhance their own integral quality if we can good understand and take example by foreign advanced means of education for children. When we treat to others and society, Chinese prose go

22、ted in the Film 1.1. Chinese family education viewFamily is the foundation of society in China. Family is the fundamental element of Chinese society. Members of a family generally live together or nearby. They help and support one another and respect the elders and parents. They are friendly with ot

23、her people, but believe strong relationships need time and patience to build to make them solid and long-lasting.Chinas education has too much expectation for children, the children were controlled, accused too much, they become weak, they most fear to make mistakes, and they are afraid of failure,

24、so in order to avoid mistakes, they give up the chance to put forward questions, give up learning in failure process. When children grew up, children lost not only creation and power of imagination, but also will probably be afraid of lost,because their knowledge of studying, thinking, logic and rea

25、soning is passive. In todays so fierce competition world, only the strong can get achievement. Chinas education system is not to shape a real child, but always to take the children become what they want. Not to give children right to become their own shape, but what others make they become. Interest

26、 is very important for both adults and children, and let a man do what he dont want to do, only the waste of efforts. Respect your child, regard him as an equal man, and they enjoy equal rights to speak, for example, the rights of criticizing and resisting .An obedient child is not necessarily good

27、boy, and he will not necessarily have ambition. China has repeatedly stressed how solid his foundation education is, how bad children in the United States science. But we see the fact that the United States is forever frontier in the world for science and technology In China, when children do someth

28、ing wrong, parents will scold and beat children as a punishment. Chinese family education is famous for strictness. There are Chinese old sayings can show the strictness, such as“to feed without teaching is the fathers fault”, spare the rod, “spoil the son”, just as the words Datongs father said: “t

29、o scold and to beat a naughty boy is due to love”. It is also common for parents, especially parents in the rural areas, to leave their children alone at home, Chinese parents are always busy with their jobs or farming, and there is not enough time for them to take care of their children, so they ha

30、ve to leave their children at home. It is not surprising at all in the rural areas to find children lying on the floor with fly flying around them. Nowadays, with the popularization of the television, it is safer and more convenient for parents to leave children at home.Family is the most basic elem

31、ent and carrier in the Chinese culture. Chinese family stresses the love of family and the love of consanguinity. They think that dog doesnt eat dog, so when the Children Welfare Bureau accuses Datong of child abuse, he thinks it incredible and ridiculous. He says to his wife Jane,A father loves his

32、 son. Thats the way where it works. Why do I have to prove my love, make up speeches? What the hell are we doing, Jane? Its turning upside down. Everything is turning upside down!” However, it is acceptable in America, which is a place pays more attention to the truth and evidence. Filial piety is a

33、lso a very important virtue in Chinese family. In the movie, Datong lies to the judge that he is the one who does GuaSha to Denis in order to protect his father who is the real one does GuaSha to Denis. He thinks that if he tells the judge it is his father does GuaSha to Denis, he sells his own fath

34、er out, and then he will not be a filial son. However, Americans will never understand the concept of filial piety in Chinese culture.That kind of filial piety of Chinese people in concept seems to be incredible to the foreigners, to old father, we Chinese people use a heart to repay the parents lov

35、e regardless of the return, so that in the most painful moments, Chinese people also cant let father know your own pain and bear the points of pressure. When xu Datong helped his father go upstairs, his wife, JianNing said some meaningful words-because he is Chinese, not only made the boss distressf

36、ul, also let us have a passionate.When Datongs father stays at the station, and Jane is at work, Datong has to leave Denis alone at home in order to pick his father home. In USA, it is known that it is illegal to leave children at home.1.2 American family education viewAmerican parents duty is to ma

37、ke children truly enjoy their childhood, to sports, to make friends, to go outing, to do things they like to do. American parents never help children tutor homework, they think: if parent is a teacher, what the childs school teachers do? If a childs homework is wrong, they also dont give them the ri

38、ght answer, they can let a child think twice, they think that everybody makes mistakes. No mistakes, how to improve? They lay stress on the childrens self-confidence, never attack child, they never say children are stupid, however, they constantly praise. They also wont let children sacrifice weeken

39、d time to learn. American parents talk little about kids school work. Childrens performance is their own things.In America, parents never hit their children for their mistakes. They do not think it will do any help to scold and beat them. It will be more useful to encourage them to stand up again th

40、an to scold and beat them, which will only discourage their confidence. And mostimportantly, it is illegal to beat children. In America, it is also illegal to leave their children alone at home. In the west, after the adult children, parents not to bring up their obligations, and go home to have a m

41、eal a points to a hair also calculated clear.In Western countries, children can make easily lots of friends; parentswill not be too much interference in it, but friendships dont last long and they change a lot over time. Young adults generally have their own lives and see their parents and families

42、a few times a year, on holidays.1.3 Different ways show in family education In GuaSha, Datongs son Denis hit his friend Kunluns son Paul, Datong asks Denis to apologize to Paul, but Denis refuses to say sorry to Paul, then Datong hit Denis on the face in front of the public. In Chinese eye, it is pe

43、rfectly justified to do so because they think they do this for childrens good, and to hit children is to love them and to make them become a useful person. Chinese parents is always educating their own children first when they deal with the quarrel or fight among children, while American parents pay

44、 attention to the truth. Thats why Datong first asked Denis to apologize to Paul without finding who is wrong or right. However, in America, parents are just the childrens keepers. They cant go too far scolding their children, let alone beat them. Thats why Datongs friend Kunlun is startled when he

45、sees Datong hit Denis on the face.There is another typical plot can embody the different family education views of China and America. When Datongs father stays at the station, and Jane is at work, Datong has to leave Denis alone at home in order to pick his father home. In America, it is known that

46、it is illegal to leave children at home.Chinese people, American people, all the peoples of the world love his family and children, but in xudatongs and many Chinese hearts, they think families and children are the top of the world. Children, as the continuation of the family blood, are a familys we

47、alth, and fathers private property. The “love” can perform as the stern, separation and even the cheating and hijack. The Oriental love is the responsibilitybutnot just the expression. The love and the responsibility combine children, father and this home as one, just in this point, the Oriental giv

48、e up the individual dignity and equality, freedom and the right to choose their own happiness because they think that love is to give. The family is the whole, in order to overall, individual interests can sacrifice.In Chinese culture, physical punishment is commonly used by Chinese family. They thi

49、nk this will help to growing up. But in western society it is absolutely forbidden. Any abusing children were viewed as illegal conduct. As to show respect to friends, Datong Xu punished his own son physically in front of friends. But this was misinterpreted as violence by his foreign friends. This

50、is a misunderstanding in culture between East and West. And it is also the problem of law consciousness, in the United States, if parents beat children, neighbors reported to the relevant agency immediately, because their culture tells them public aid force is the most effective, but China is not th

51、e same, if people see parents beating children, ordinary people firstly complain loudly, after all it is household chores, if it was too serious, neighbors sometimes come to mediate, and that means we will usually choose private aid force to solve the problem, of course, which not only show the Chin

52、ese law consciousness generally is not high, but also show distrust of public power! This distrust is not only in the theory of western governments, but because Chinas authorities have no way to win public trust through their actions.Part Reasons of Family Education Differences between China and Ame

53、rica in the FilmGuasha Treatment2.1Difference of historical backgroundDuring the second half of the 19th century, the United States was the worlds leading economic power. Economic prosperity created the necessary objective conditions and guarantees to education reform and development in that “Gilded

54、 Age”. When a large number of industrialists like Carnegie, Rockefeller and so on became rich, they became a philanthropist.A lot of money was donated to the school for education in the United States. Education of United States gains the advantage. However, even though Chinas economy is developing r

55、apidly, modern education has just begun to take shape, and just began to spread. Even though there was “Western Learning thought” in the 18th century, it was only a small area.2.2Differences of attitudes to family educationThe United States has a developed commodity economy, an advanced productivity

56、, many employment opportunities, and less survival pressure, and The United States focus on individual ability, the mechanism of choosing a person for a job is perfect and The United States has free movement of labor. There are many opportunities to Change job. Therefore the American has an open outlook of profession and the wide choice of career. In The United States, parents think that as long as the child will be able to survive in society, there is no distinction between high and low rank (of course it must be legitimate
