跨文化维度下中美家庭伦理观差异研究

摘要

伦理是一切人类共有的文化事项，但是由于文化的异域性，不同国度之间有着不同的内容和特点。随着中国社会的不断进步，中美文化的比较研究就显得尤为重要。本文将社会中最基本的组织与单位—家庭作为研究对象，追溯不同文化背景下的家庭伦理观，分析中美家庭伦理观差异及其文化根源，探讨对完善我国当代家庭伦理观的几点启示。
　　文学来源于生活，更高于生活，这种高度浓缩的文学作品，更能集中、突出的反应生活现实、社会现象。李安的家庭三部曲《推手》、《喜宴》和《饮食男女》都是从中西方代际关系、教育子女，以及爱情和婚姻等几方面探讨中美家庭伦理观的差异，因此为本文提供了案例与研究素材。
　　本文以泰安迪斯的个体主义与集体主义理论中的独立自我与互赖自我、个人态度与社会规范、个人目标与群体目标为理论基础，以实例分析作为研究的主要手段，对李安家庭三部曲中的对话、内容以及情节进行深入分析和探索，旨在通过分析电影作品中的矛盾，探讨中美家庭伦理观的差异，追溯其文化根源。在继承中国传统家庭伦理精髓的基础上，探讨如何汲取美国先进的家庭伦理理念，从而重新完善中国当代家庭伦理观。
　　通过对比发现，中美家庭伦理观差异主要体现在爱情伦理、婚姻伦理和代际伦理三个方面。在爱情伦理层面，中美文化在追求爱情的态度与择偶观上存在差异;在婚姻伦理层面，中美文化在婚姻目的、婚礼仪式、家庭中的夫妻关系上存在差异;在代际伦理层面，中美文化在父权与平等、赡养老人的传统上有明显差异。研究认为，中国传统家庭伦理中蕴含着人性真理的内容必须为当代所继承，同时现代西方家庭伦理中那些合理元素也应当被吸取。因此，在研究的基础上，提出对完善我国当代家庭伦理观的启示。
