Praise human value and advocate the free development of human dignity and personality. The relationship between parents and children is more equal.
Third, the relationship between children and parents is different.
1, China's family concept: In China families, children depend on their parents since childhood, and parents make many personal sacrifices for the family, but demand more obedience from their children. When children grow up, they have the responsibility to support their parents, but in some cases, they will continue to rely on their parents.
2. Western family concept: In western families, children don't live at home after graduating from middle school, and young people are proud of their independence. Parents don't depend on their children when they are old, and children have no responsibility to support their parents. Neither side has so many obligations and responsibilities.
