The definition of family differs from culture to culture. These differences become more apparent when families
from diverse cultures live in the same area. They include how family is defined, how children view themselves
within the family, and what happens when children reach young adulthood.
Traditionally, in U.S. culture, when people refer to their family, they usually mean their immediate family,
that is, their parents and their children. Many of these families follow the basic principles of Dr. Benjamin Spock,
a famous pediatrician(兒科醫(yī)生)in the mid 1900s. He wrote a popular book on raising children that changed
the style of parenting from strict to more permissive. He believed that children should be free to set their own
goals and choose their own career path. As children get older they should become more independent. In general,
family takes on a smaller role as children enter adulthood.
In contrast, in many Latino cultures, when people refer to their family, they include extended family, such as
aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Latino life centers on family. Sociologists have suggested that each family
member feels a moral responsibility to help other members of the family who may be experiencing problems such
as poor health, financial concerns, and unemployment. It is common for Latino families to encourage longer visits
from relatives, and they expect loyalty, sacrifice(犧牲), and hard work from family members.
Beliefs about family relationships and expectations differ among traditional U.S. and Latino cultures. Despite
these differences, traditional U.S. culture is similar to Latino culture in terms of the importance of family. Meanwhile,
it is wise not to stereotype(對(duì)……形成刻板的看法)cultures. Not all Latino families stick together. Similarly, not
all parents from traditional U.S. culture point to the door when their children turn 18. Cultural background plays a
role in our relationships with family members, but culture is rarely the sole defining element for anyone.
