Asia V.S America

Society:

Asia V.S America

The society in US is different from the society in Asia. Unlike US with the marriage life, in some countries in Asia the couple has the same right on divorce decision for example Taiwan and Korea. Also in some countries such as Qatar the divorce decision is for the men to decide. In addition, a huge different in society between Asia and US is the family life; for example the parents in Taiwan, Korea, and Qatar will support their children’s education fees, on the other hand most of the parents in us will not be responsible for paying for their children’s education fees. More so, the children in Asia can’t call their father by the name, but they will have to say father first, in contrast, its normal in US for the children to call their parents by their names without saying father or mother first.

I am not sure about your comment about calling parents by their names. I think you are mistaken unless the relationship is broken. Divorce really is a big problem in the US. I think that kids need a lot of counseling and adive about relationships in schools. By making divorce so easy it creates a cycle for kids. If a relationship is not quite what they want then they can back out of it. No matter what the situation is, we need to work at our relationships.
