Traditional family concept in western society

Family is the cornerstone of society, and there are obvious differences in family concepts between Chinese and western cultures in many aspects. The west generally advocates individualism, while China pays attention to collectivism. Generally speaking, the west respects the privacy of every family member, and there is no obvious hierarchy between them. But in China, if you call your parents by their first names, you may be beaten.

China is very particular about inheritance, and everyone can clearly feel it when buying a house. My parents have worked hard all their lives. They will spend some money to buy a house for their children, and now they need to provide a garage to get married, so they will work hard for their children's lifelong events. But now young parents can think that when their children grow up, they will go the same way as their parents. And women need to take care of their grandchildren, and this situation continues. However, the concept of western family is different from what people feel now, and there are obvious boundaries.

Most westerners advocate equality, at the same time, they don't have a clear concept of family, and they don't want to spend all their time and energy on family. And they think that no one should ask too much about their privacy, but once China people trust each other, they will tell each other all their life experiences and age income. Nowadays, many people think that some people's behavior obviously violates their own boundaries, so they will refuse to answer, so this is also one of the benefits brought by global economic development.

Nowadays, many young people feel that their parents sometimes intervene after marriage. At the same time, they will also give their children some suggestions and ideas on some important decisions. However, the west feels that their young parents had better not influence them. As their ties with family of origin are getting weaker and weaker, they don't need to keep close ties.
