Chinese families are known to be very strict but very tight. Respect for elders is demanded and ancestor worship has been practiced for many years. Look at the following questions and read about the composition of Chinese families, the titles of each member, the ranking, and other relationships. Reflect on these questions and write a journal. Make sure you follow the Rubric Sheet and you must have an opinion of your own regarding the topic. Then support that opinion by using examples. Opinions are ideas that can be "right" or "wrong" - but for this writing, your opinions are always "right" as long as you can back them up with facts. Facts are things that are "true" or "false." For example, it's a fact that the youngest child in a Chinese family is expected to serve the food at meal time.
Then read at least four other journal postings and respond meaningfully. "Good point," "Nice job!" won't count.
a. Who established the "family order"?
b. What do people do to show respect to their deceased? What's behind "ancestral worship" and "respect to authority and elders"?
c. What family values do parents teach their children?
d. How important is education in China? Why?
e. How do you describe the relationship among the family members in a Chinese family?
f. Compare and contrast the western and Chinese family values. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
In your writing, you don't need to answer all the above questions. You only have to focus on ONE of your opinions and support it with facts. These questions are here to help you think cognitively on a high level above and beyond simple facts. A minimum of 250 words are required and make sure you spell-check before you post. Make sure you have a title for your writing.
Points will be deducted if your posting is late. This assignment is due by 7:00 PM Sunday 3-15-15.
