Chinese people adopt new ideas in moral value
www.chinanews.cn 2007-06-13 09:03:16
Chinanews, Beijing, June 13 �C The Beijing Daily recently issued a survey
result on Chinese citizens' moral value status. The result shows that
three fundamental changes have taken place in society about people's
family moral values. The husbands and wives enjoy an equal status in the
family and Chinese people adopt new ideas on childbirth, the Beijing
Daily reported.
Firstly, more families have transformed from traditional family types to
modern ones. Husbands and wives enjoy an equal status in the family.
Democracy replaces patriarchy to become the dominant form in running the
family. Family members discuss things with each other and make decisions
together. Chinese people have changed their ideas, too, in respect to
childbirth.
Secondly, family members become more independent than before. Most family
members make plans for their own life and do not rely too much on others.
Family relations with the state and the work units become looser than
before. People choose marriage partners on their own. Nowadays, women can
file divorce if they like. Old people can remarry if they find their
ideal marriage partner. Such remarriage is accepted by society at large.
Thirdly, most families are filled with an open atmosphere. Family life
adopts more social values and most families pursue a high-quality life.
Many Chinese families are nuclear families. Families and society together
shoulder the responsibility for old people's life.
Despite this, there are still problems that face modern families.
Firstly, marriage relations become more unstable compared with the past.
Many families encounter extramarital affair. This is especially true in
the eastern coastal cities. In recent years, divorce rate keeps rising
and there have appeared many types of abnormal marriage relations, such
as trial marriage, living together with the rich, experiencing sexual
relations before marriage, premarital pregnancy, extramarital relations,
and finding lovers. Domestic violence is also on the rise. There are more
single-parent families now than ever.
Secondly, many parents neglect to teach their children the basic moral
standards. Instead, they merely focus on kids' intelligence status.
Nowadays, many children are the only child in their families. Most of
these children are spoiled by their parents. Many children indulge in
pleasure seeking and do not do much physical work at home. They are
self-centered and cannot manage their own life properly. In addition,
these children can hardly bear hardship in life.
Thirdly, in some families, parents have to support the life of their
children who are already grown up. In other families, old people are
abandoned by the family, and there is not a strong family relationship
among family members. In many cases, children or grandchildren become the
only source to maintain family ties.
In order to do the survey, about 6,000 people were chosen as samples.
5,951 people gave their effective answers in return. These people came
from Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Nanchang, Haikou, Chongqing, Lanzhou,
Zhengzhou, Kunming, and Dalian. They belonged to different age groups and
worked in different fields. Their educational background also varied
greatly.
