A Typical American Household
In postwar Japan, the nation have had envy of American life for many years, then we rehabilitated our country from damage of the defeat. I know that my imagination about American Household must be given by mass communication. First of my thinking of American Household is streamline. For example, mothers don't take long time for preparing meals. The can use microwave and frozen food perfectly, and they frequently eat out. If a wife is busy on her job, her husband is willing to do housework. In addition, there are a lot of institutions for caring children during parents work. That is to say, mothers have opportunities to continue to work and the can be independent. Second, I think that American people think all the world of their privacy even in their family. They give each children one kid's room, and they don't sleep with their children in a same bed since children were babies. However, American parents spent for long hours with their children for doing sports or doing activities. In addition, I imagine that the most important thing for American is freedom. They don't eat food that they don't want to. The can watch any TV programs they are interested in. They can get marriage and divorce easily. In other words, they cherish their own life. Despite I don't know typical American life styles that I can imagine is happiness for human life or not, I can absolutely say women can live comfortably in America.
