现在价值观与道德标准、社会关系、社会礼仪和社会风俗等方面,即西方文化主张个人荣誉、自我中心、创新 精神和个性自由,而中国文化主张谦虚谨慎、无私奉献、中庸之道和团结协作;西方人平等意识较强、家庭结 由父母以及未成年子女组成核心家庭;而中国人等级观念较强,家庭结构较复杂,传统的幸福家庭多 为四代同堂等.
西方文化在许多方面与中国的文化存在着很大的差异.
一、价值观与道德标准的差异
1.个人荣誉感与谦虚谨慎 西方人崇拜个人奋斗,尤其为个人取得的成就自豪,从来不掩饰自己的自信心、荣誉感以及在获得成就后 的狂喜.
2.自我中心与无私奉献
西方人自我中心意识和独立意识很强,主要表现在:(1 )自己为自己负责.在弱肉强食的社会,每个人 生存方式及生存质量都取决于自己的能力,因此,每个人都必须自我奋斗,把个人利益放在第一位.(2)不习 惯关心他人,不过问他人的事情.(3)正由于以上两点,主动帮助别人或接受别人帮助在西方常常 是令人难堪的事.因为接受帮助只能证明自己无能,而主动帮助别人会被认为是干涉别人私事.
3.创新精神与中庸之道
西方文化鼓励人民开拓创新,做一番前人未做过的、杰出超凡的事业.
4.个性自由与团结协作
西方人十分珍视个人自由,喜欢随心所欲,独往独行,不愿受限制.
二、社会关系的差别
1.平等意识与等级观念
西方人平等意识较强,无论贫富,人人都会尊重自己,不允许别人侵犯自己的权利.同时,人人都能充分 地尊重他人.在美国,很少人以自己显赫的家庭背景为荣,也很少人以自己贫寒出身为耻,因他们都知道,只 要自己努力,是一定能取得成功的.正如美国一句流行的谚语所言:“只要努力,牛仔也能当总统.”
2.核心家庭与四代同堂 美国式的家庭结构比较简单:父母以及未成年孩子,称之为核心家庭.子女一旦结婚,就得搬出去住,经 济上也必须独立.父母不再有义务资助子女.这种作法给年青人提供最大限度的自由,并培养其独立生活的能 力,但同时也疏远了亲属之间的关系.
