Duties of Family in China The disaster always comes without notification. As it usually does, it came to my life, and crushed my college life. My family went bankrupt. It matters a lot for me, but when I calm down and think about the thing itself, I realised that Chinese families are overpaid for what they supposed to do because my family is still thinking about paying my tuition for my next semester. However, this is not a article that praises the selfless dedication. It is really not a good thing for both of me and other members in my family because all of our life can be effected by one's failure, and the failure of my family is somehow caused by familism. "Make your company your home." is a common slogan in Chinese company. When people find something hard to process with few people, they tend to form a unit with more people, and naturally, more people meant power of productivity. As an extension of solidarity, the concept marriage become a tendency of human community. Since marriage forms family, the original goal is to form a unit that can provide protection to protect family members. Family worked well at the first, it protected people from diseases, hunger, and accidental injury. As the result, fertility grew up in a fast way, population, productivity, and culture had exploded. However, it just worked well during the early human history. The exploded growth of population caused the problem of resource allocation. Since the resource is limited, but the wants of human is greater then what we can imagine, the problem of disproportionated distribution came as it should have done. Some people become very rich, but some people were not, they failed in competition. The risk of family showed up when disproportionated distribution happened because family as a unit of a group of people, it undertakes whole risk when one or more members failed in community. For example, assume a middle-class family has 3 members, and all member has some income. When one of the member failed in human community, other members in the family should give help for their duty that the ancestor signed in the contract of family. However, what happened in China is that family should give even more than what they are able to give during a disaster. For example, my family paid my tuition for my last semester, but the fact is that the tuition was donated by my family relatives. In my previous life, my family paid too much on me. Fortunately, I came to the U.S. and studied philosophy, then negatived them.
