What do you think of the viewpoint presented in this article? ■ script
Before Reading Global Reading Detailed Reading After Reading Our students often point out differences between elderly people in China and America. In China, for example, it is common for three or four generations to be living under one roof, whereas in the United States this arrangement is quite rare. The family as a voluntary association of individuals who stay together and care for one other is being eroded by many factors in American culture. One prime source of instability is that people can move as often as they wish without getting permission from anyone. All they need is enough money first to make the move and then to rent or buy an apartment or house in the new location. Companies make full use of this freedom, transferring valued employees from one coast to the other, or to anywhere in between. Some Americans may attach greater importance to success in their careers than the Chinese do, and as a result may be more willing to sacrifice emotional and family ties for economic or professional advancement. As China has opened to the outside world, we note that many Chinese have begun to show a similar willingness to subordinate family and friendships to career.
Before Reading Global Reading Detailed Reading After Reading If younger Americans move around so freely, does that mean their parents often relocate to remain near them? No. In spite of their potential mobility, most retired parents will not move just to be close to their children. The majority of older people in the United States, in fact, prefer not to live with their children — they like to be independent. Older people also value the friendships they have established through their jobs and with their hometown neighbors. In other cases, home ownership and the stress of selling a home and becoming established in a strange place may explain why older people don't follow their children. One thing is clear: most would rather visit their children, even several times a year, than dwell permanently with them.
