6、mplesAbstractFamily is the basic unit of society, which is not only the social economic organization formed by people, but also the concentrate of social culture. Different culture between Chinese and Western countries shapes diverse family cultures, which further forms various ideas and patterns of

7、 family education and internal family relationships. This article uses the dramas of Modern Family and A Little Reunion as examples to explore the differences in family education between China and the United States, and analyzes the traditional cultural factors, society and economic factors, and thi

8、nking factors that cause the differences, which deeply reflects the distinct differences in family education between China and the United States. The differences include the reconciliation of Chinese parents examination-oriented education and happy education, the thinking of American parents on the

9、free growth of children, the Chinese family education model with high standards and strict requirements, and the American family education model pursuing freedom and equality. Through analyzing these differences, this article shows the advantages and disadvantages of family education in China and th

10、e United States, so as to better guide Chinese parents to reflect on the contradictions between parents and children, and guide their children correctly.Key words: Family education in China and the United States; Differences; A Little Reunion; Modern Family 1. Introduction1.1 Background of the Study

11、Due to the development of information technology, the development of globalization has penetrated into all aspects of economy, culture, education, etc. International globalization has become closer and closer, while cultural collision is increasingly prominent. Culture is the soft power of a country

12、 and the foundation of the development of national education. To understand the social development and education situation of different countries and regions, people in different countries and regions need to enhance mutual trust, strengthen communication and learn from each other. The foundation of

13、 mutual trust is a deep understanding of mutual different cultures and values, and cultural industry and cultural cause are the carriers of national cultures and values. At the national level, the development of cultural industry and cultural undertakings has strengthened its international influence

14、 and enriched the spiritual life of the domestic people; at the family level, the collision between their own cultural traditions and foreign cultures will help parents understand cultural differences and reflect on how to improve their education methods. Family education is the cornerstone of natio

15、nal education, which is an important part of shaping personal cultural values.Art comes from life, and art is above life. As a product of the development of information technology, TV dramas not only bring sensory enjoyment to human beings, but also serve as a window for concentrated reflection on s

16、ocial problems. A Little Reunion and Modern Family should be typical works of art that focuses on family culture and family education in their respective cultural backgrounds. From these two TV dramas, we can see that there are great differences in family education between China and the United State

17、s. Because of this background, this article deliberately chooses two TV shows that are particular representatives of China and the United States for comparison. A Little Reunion is a family education drama directed by Wang Jun and starring Huang Lei, Hai Qing, Tao Hong, Wang Yihui, Yong Mei and so o

18、n. The play is adapted from Lu Yingongs novel of the same name, and it mainly tells the story of Fang family, Ji family, and Qiao family. These three families faced the sad and happy story of the college entrance examination during the “third year”. The drama premiered on Oriental TV and Zhejiang TV

19、 on July 31, 2019, and achieved high ratings in China. The TV series Modern Family is a sitcom narrated and filmed in the form of a mock documentary created by Steven Levitan, starring Ty Bullier, Ed ONeal and others. It was premiered on September 23, 2009 by the ABC and has been voted as the best c

20、omedy in five consecutive Emmys.1.2 Purpose and Significance of the StudyAs the most important part of education, family plays a very essential role in peoples growth, especially in childrens growth. As the primary stage of education, family education has always been highly valued by the theoretical

21、 and practical circles. With the rapid development of Chinas economy and the increase in the number one-child families, more and more family education issues have become increasingly prominent. Through this thesis, we have not only improved our understanding of people from different cultural backgro

22、unds, but also found ways to improve family education. In analyzing the purpose and content, this article has cited the education methods of the two countries and cited many examples. These examples can help people better understand the differences between Chinese and American family education, and

23、parents can reflect on and improve their education methods.Influenced by their traditional cultural values, the Chinese and Western family education system is the product of the respective cultural values, and each family education system has their own reasons in their exclusive cultural contexts. H

24、owever, there is both essence and scum in the family education system. It is an effective means to eliminate the residue of ones family education system and make it more reasonable through a non-homogeneous culture, which is why a comparative analysis is required. With the continuous deepening of Ch

25、inas reform and opening up, cultural exchanges between China and the West are increasing. It requires higher reflection on Chinese family education. Only by absorbing the excellent family education concepts and experiences of other countries can our children better adapt to the future society, cultu

26、re and life. By comparing them, people can know the differences and similarities in family education in different cultural contexts between China and the United States, and provide useful reference for Chinese family education.1.3 Structure of the Thesis This thesis is divided into six parts. The fi

27、rst chapter is the introduction, including the social and cultural background, the significance of family education and the purpose and significance of the study. The second chapter is the literature review. In this part, this article takes two TV dramas as examples to reveal the situation of family

28、 education at home and abroad. The third chapter describes the main theoretical framework of the research. It includes educational teleology, Hofstedes framework culture dimension and the enlightenment of Confucianism. The fourth chapter elaborates the differences between Chinese and American family

29、 education, such as the differences in parent-child relationship, the differences in parents protection and expectation to children and the differences in the role of parents and their educational methods. Chapter five analyzes the factors causing the educational differences between Chinese and Amer

30、ican parenting in traditional culture, economic condition and thinking. Chapter six is the conclusion, summarizing the causes, phenomena and results, and the limitation.2. Literature Review2.1 Studies at Home and AbroadScholars researches on Modern Family are mainly reflected in two aspects: family

31、education and language style. Many scholars have studied American family education. Liu Xueting (2018) also wrote in “Family Education in the United States from Modern Family” that the character of dialogue between parents and sons in Modern family is friendly and equal. Modern Family reflects the p

32、arents respect for the childs independent personality, personal interests and growth. They dont deliberately require children to complete the tasks, but more respect the wishes and let the children play freely in a timely manner. In the process of growing up, children can learn to be independent, cu

33、ltivate their own interests and independent personality, and most importantly, be happier. Most American families are “equal”. Therefore, American parents are more willing to live with their children on an equal footing, and their attitude towards their children is more relaxed. Under this family ed

34、ucational system, children can form a sense of independence from pee training. There are also some scholars who conduct comparative research on Chinese and American family education. The traditional Chinese family is considered to be “authoritative”. Chuang S S, Glozman J and Green D S (2018) also w

35、rote in “Parenting and Family Relationships in Chinese Families: A Critical Ecological Approach” that the relationship between parents and children is influenced by Confucianism. Family education is the embodiment of family culture in Education. Guo Meiting (2016) mentioned in “Comparing Cultural Di

36、fferences between Chinese and Western Families from Modern Family” that all parents love their children, but the way of expression is quite the opposite. Some Chinese parents think that “filial piety is under the stick” and some parents give their children a lot of material “compensation” because th

37、ey dont have time to accompany their children, which causes their childrens lack of love and care, becoming extremely unconfident and even inferior. In children life Chinese parents do too much for their children and wish they could pave the way for their children. Then, the research is on the langu

38、age style. Researchers believe that the humor of the verbal Modern Family is infiltrated in peoples lives, and its use of humorous strategies will help us to use humor correctly in our daily communication and improve communication skills. Zhang Beibei (2018) researched the translation of humorous la

39、nguage in Modern Family. She considered that the translation of humorous language is an act of cross-cultural communication, and adopts many alienated methods for the translation of humorous language in Modern Family. However, there are still great difficulties in the translation of humorous languag

40、e. To translate this language well, we must flexibly use translation strategies such as literal translation and domestication.Many scholars have studied the family education of America, while the number of studies on A Little Reunion is not large, particularly the studies of its typical Chinese fami

41、ly education. In the three families with different social backgrounds, parents share common emotions in the important moment of their childrens college entrance examination. In terms of television narrative techniques, A Little Reunion adopts a narrative method of individual realization of dreams, w

42、hich reflects the self-imagination of middle-class families in contemporary. Scholars, Wang Xian and Zhang Huiyu, believe that Fang Yuans role in the play represents a large audience, and other families disprove Fang Yuans family happiness. The most prominent point in the TV series is the opposition

43、 to the old concept of blindly emphasizing test scores. Heavyrunner I, Decelles R (2002) mentioned in “Family Education Model: Meeting the Student Retention Challenge” that educational literature indicates that when students fail to complete educational programs serious adverse conditions afflict th

44、e individuals, their families, and their communities. The suicide of Ding Yi in the film reflects the disadvantages of the old ideas (2019). In addition, in terms of content expression, Han Haoyue said that the biggest progress in the play is that the status within the family is equal and harmonious

45、. There is not much research on A Little Reunion in China, which is mainly reflected in the research on its typical Chinese family education. Baum-rinds (1971) research framework on parenting styles has received considerable attention, especially in the exploration of Chinese parenting.Few scholars

46、have been involved in the study of A Little Reunion. As a popular TV and film drama in 2019, A Little Reunion, which has 3 different family models, reflects the education concept of Chinese parents in the new era. This article will compare the three family models in the modern family with the three

47、family models in A Little Reunion, and analyze the reasons for the differences between them.3. Theoretical Framework3.1 Educational TeleologyJohn Dewey considers that education is growth, the aim of growth is to promote more growth. Education has not aim except for education process, which exists in

48、 the educational process and educational activities. Under the democratic system, because each individual has given educational aim, the people can be trained through education to have the reflective habit for promoting social transformation. Therefore, we should consider education aim from the pers

49、pectives of both practice and the future, at the same time, we should care the teen-ages for their mental adaptability and the adaptability of social needs. Education not only preserves and transfers the present social ideal and perspectives of value or represent the past social situation, but also has the function of commentary and critique on the current social perspective o
