Traditional Chinese values placed the father as head and women in domestic roles, only allowed men to inherit property, and sometimes favored sons over daughters.
The document compares family values in America and China. In traditional families, the male is expected to be the sole provider for the family and have decision-making power in China, while in America both parents can work and share responsibilities. Traditionally, Chinese mothers stayed home while American mothers could work, but many modern families in both cultures have two working parents. Marriage is highly valued in both cultures but divorce is less stigmatized in America. Elders are respected in both but typically live with family in China. Children are expected to obey parents without question traditionally in China but American parenting is generally more lenient.
