IntroductionAs the world has entered into the 21rst Century, English has become a very important tool in our social life with the accelerating globalizing economy system and informational social life.1 Interpersonal relationships
2、play a very important role in the communication. Interpersonal relationship influences communication both in the China and Western countries. However, interpersonal relationship in the Chinese context is underpinned by Confucianism.2 While obviously the understanding of the differences between the W
3、est and China can help explain why the Chinese people behave the way they do. Interpersonal relationships are peoples psychological relations which refer to activities by the people through the results of contacts or psychological distances. We also know that interpersonal relationships include the
4、relationships among families, friends, students, teacher-student relations, employment relations, leaderships and etc. Among these, the author will focus mainly on the family, friendship, and teacher-student relationship.This paper makes an attempt to study the interpersonal relationship between Chi
5、na and Western countries, mainly based on some research fruits which have been achieved. They are listed as follows: the thoughts of Xia Li, Hu Wenzhong and some other writers. This is only superficial outline of the interpersonal relationship, somewhat does not have the detailed outline and the des
6、cription. For example, the articles which write teacher-student relationships and the friendship are very few. Therefore, the author believes it has the research value very much on the contrastive study on interpersonal relationships and the factors influencing it, especially for those people who st
7、udy abroad or for those people who undertake such jobs concerned about inter-cultural communication.The Differences of Interpersonal Relationship Between China and Western CountriesInterpersonal relationships include many aspects; here family relationship, friendship and teacher-student relationship
8、 will be mainly talked about.A. Different Attitudes Towards Family Relationship1. Different Attitudes towards Family ValuesGenerally speaking, collectivism is typical of Chinese family value, and individualism is often used to describe the westerns value, which are different from each other. Collect
9、ivism emphasizes that people are connected with each other by having descended from common ancestors. In doing so, kinship relationships emphasize, first of all, that ascending generations are before, prior to, and even superior to descending generations. This hierarchy of relationship is manifested
10、 in the relationships between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and even elder brothers/sisters and younger brothers/sisters. Another aspect of the collectivism is the value of loyalty to the family. In China this loyalty takes the form of filial piety, which is an important family value. Tra
11、ditionally Chinese children feel a lifelong obligation to their parents, ideally exemplified by an unreserved devotion to please them in every possible way.This is often the subject of many Chinese novels and movies in modern times: parents force their son/daughter to marry a person whom he/she does
12、nt love, and very often the child obeys because of filial piety. But it doesnt follow that parents do little in return. Instead, parents assume the responsibility of taking care of their childrens welfare, including education, job hunting, marriage and so on. In short, parents and children have mutu
13、al duties and obligations. It is clear that there is a lot of interdependence in the family.To the contrary, individualism lays emphasis on egalitarianism, which even in the family, independence is highly valued. The westerners are more individual and independent. Family members are regarded as frie
14、nds and they should treated equality in daily life.It is believed that the real happy, harmonious family should base on love and equality.In the western countries, the person who can“make it on his own is respected, although some do get help from their families. It is very important for the individu
15、als to be independent from others, and this value is true in the family life of western countries too. In China, family members depend more on each other, and families are built around the value of interdependence. The primary responsibility of the western family members is not to advance the family
16、 as a group, either socially or economically, nor to bring honor to the family name. Under Christianity, a man is required to leave his parents and stay together with his wife. Under Confucianism, the man is required to stay with his parents.32、Different Attitudes towards Family MembersOne may have different ideas as to who compose of family members. If westerners name an immediate family, they refer to husband, wife and their children, uncles, cousins
