There are a number of family education systems in the world, and each has its distinctive feature, which reflects its unique culture. Although Chinese family education system is a successful one in general, problems appear in recent years. Through comparing some relevant aspects of family education between China and the U.S. from a cultural perspective, we can gain good experiences from American family education and promote the reform of Chinese family education.展开更多

As America and China are playing increasingly important roles in the world, people are eager to learn more about these countries. This paper makes a comparison of the lives of Chinese and American women so as to give readers an idea of the cultures, customs and values of these two countries. The discussion of women's lives in China and America is conducted from three aspects, namely, occupation, women and family, women's education.展开更多
