Parents' Day Origin
Parents’ day is an American event to honor the parents and families.1.It was only in the year 1994 that this event got officially accepted in the USA.
2.But it can be certainly said that this event is born from the eternal（永恒的）desire of mankind to honor and appreciate parents—who are responsible for the upbringing（养育）of the new generation.
Their huge efforts and patience have opened up a new view for the humankind.As said earlier,Parents’ Day got its acceptance in the year 1994.President Mr.Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law.It was decided that the fourth Sunday of every July would be celebrated as Parents’ Day.3.It is similar to the Mother's Day and Father's Day.
4.But within few years after its acceptance,the event has spread its wings to the whole world.The event is now widely accepted and the joy of celebration is even more compared to a decade ago.Some of us may say that,it is a duty for the parents to bring up their children in the best possible way.5.They do it all because of the bondage（捆绑）of love and affection by which they are bonded to their children.
A.Of course it is,but not for a duty.
B.Parents should bring their children up.
C.The tradition of celebrating Parents’ Day is relatively new.
D.Surprisingly this event was not even there over two decades ago.
E.The Mother’s Day and Father's Day are similar to Parents’ Day in the USA.
F.It is very hard to say when the idea of Parents’ Day actually came into picture.
G.Parents’ Day is celebrated throughout the USA.
I was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”
Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.”and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session,I asked my colleague,“how do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.
