Americans and Asians have very different ideas about love and marriage. Americans
believe in “romantic” marriage - a boy and a girl are attracted to each other, fall in love, and
decide to marry each other. But Asians believe in “contractual” marriage - the parents of the
bride and the groom decide on the marriage; and love - if it ever develops - is supposed to
follow marriage, not precede it. To show the differences, a survey was conducted among
American, Chinese and Indian students to determine their attitudes toward love and marriage.
Below is a summary of each group’s responses to the four key values.
Physical attractiveness: The Americans are much more concerned than the Indians and
the Chinese with physical attractiveness when choosing a wife or a husband.
Confiding: Few Asian students agree with the American students’ view that wives and
husbands share all thoughts. In fact, a majority of Indians and Chinese think it is better and
wiser for a couple not to share certain thoughts. A large number of Indian men agree that it is
unwise to confide in their wives.
Partnership of equals: The majority of Asian students reject the American view that
marriage is a partnership of equals. Many Indian students agree that a woman has to sacrifice
more in a marriage than a man.
Trust built on love: Significantly, more Asian students than American students agree
that a husband is obliged to tell his wife where he has been if he comes home late. The Asian
wife can demand a record of her husband’s activities. The American wife, however, trusts her
husband to do the right things because he loves her not because he has to.
The comparison of the four values suggests that young Asians are not as romantic as their
American counterparts.
1. What are the four key values in the survey?
2. Why does the American wife trust her husband to do the right thing?
3. Do many Indian students agree that a woman has to sacrifice more in a marriage than a man?
4. What is the main finding of the survey?
IV. For each question, complete the new sentence so that it means the same as the given
one (2.0 pts)
