Bonjour ! Je remarque que pour les Français, un bon parent doit donner une bonne éducation alors que de votre coté il est plus question de sentiments ("un bon parent est quelqu'un qui vous aime de façon inconditionnelle" apparait plusieurs fois dans vos réponses). Pour nous, il est important que les parents nous inculquent des règles de savoir vivre qui nous permettront de bien nous insérer dans la société. Je crois qu'en France nous sommes très attentifs à la part de l'éducation dans la personnalité de l'enfant, surtout depuis les différents crimes commis par des mineurs (dans le sud de la France, on a récemment arrêté des gangs de filles). Est ce que ce débat est aussi à l'honneur aux Etats_Unis ?
In response to Claire's question, yes, crime committed by minors is a big issue in the United States. It is possible that this is because American children are less receptive to the idea of their parents playing a big role in their education (on life issues as well as schooling) and therefore have the tendency to rebel more often. Do French children have a lot of respect for their parents in general? For us, we expect out of our parents unconditional love, and don't want them to be too authoritative with us. Do you see parents as people who provide you with guidance and authority, or do you see them as people to care about you and provide you with love?
I noticed that although both the Americans and the French mentioned the notion of parents guiding their children, the French said that parents should push and be authoritative (but just), while the Americans all said that a parent helps without pushing. Does this perhaps go along with the fact that the French seem to see parents as a vital factor in a child's education, whereas education is not mentioned once on the American side? It is also interesting that the notion of love was mentioned 12 times on the American side, while only half that on the French side. I think that maybe American students play a more independent role in their path of schooling, or maybe there just isn't much of a choice growing up; most children go through the same schooling for the first twelve years of their lives these days, and the only choice that the student actually makes is how much they are going to make of their available education.
I agree with Adeline. Crime in the United States is a large concern and many believe it is because children do not have enough repect for authority--which could stem from a lack of respect for parents. Do you think that the crimes that are commited in France are because of bad parenting or because of simple human nature?
Salut Cynthia
Je pense que dans la majorité des cas, l'éducation apportée par les parents est en cause. Cependant, les enfants ne sont pas enfermés chez eux et le milieu dans lequel ils vivent (amis qu'ils fréquentent, école, ...) peuvent parfois être mis en cause aussi Par contre, je ne pense pas que cela fasse partie de la nature humaine réellement.
