章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：If your values have been formed in Asia or Latin America or some parts of Europe, youmay be troubled by the smacture of the American family. Compared to what you are used to,it may seem weak, limited as a rule to a nucleus of parents-with-small-children, lackingstrong vertical ties between generations and strong lateral ties to cousins and other relatives.For better or worse, American children are encouraged to become self-reliant early and assoon as their education is finished to strike out on their own. This same attitude ofindependence often impels elderly or retired people to live by themselves; their children donot automatically take over their care and maintenance.As a result, you will observe, communication between generations in the USA issometimes limited, and sharp differences of opinion may arise. For example, in recent yearsthe pioneer virtues of initiative, competitiveness and hard, unrelenting work have beenchallenged by members of the younger generation who feel that these traits, uncontrolled,may lead to a dehumanized society.On the surface, such clashes of opinion may seem divisive or abrasive, but in the longrun they may also be healthy. Undoubtedly there are many Americans who need to expandtheir cultural horizons, deepen their appreciation of the arts, improve their relationships withpeople, concern themselves more with people, concern themselves more with their familiesand less with their bank accounts. It does no harm to have this pointed out. Conversely, itdoes no harm to point out that the son who scorns his father's obsession with work orbusiness often is attending college and pursuing his iconoclasm at his father's expense.
