the odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people. not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many
challenges from their parents. the differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.
first, they differ in their attitude toward life. parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. they feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders. young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance. young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.
the differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things. for example, the parents’ generation never understood elvis and the beatles. because they couldn’t
understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”. young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day. wherever they go, they’ll have their ipod with them.
in conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their
youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things. to fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other. ex.9
作为美国文化价值体系的一个重要组成部分，“个人主义”受到大多数美国人的推崇。美国人认为家庭作为一个群体，其主要目的是促进家庭各成员的幸福。与许多其他文化相比，美国家庭成员的主要职责，不是在社会上或经济上提高整个家庭的地位。人们通常认为，什么是对个人最好的要比什么是对家庭最好的更为重要。与自由相伴而来的是照顾自己的责任，因为所选择的自由承载了责任，即必须接受自己的选择所带来的后果。许多美国人给他们的孩子很多的自由，因为他们希望孩子们能够独立和自力更生。在美国人强调个人自由的同时，父母与孩子间平等的信念也对美国家庭产生了巨大的影响。 ex. 10
