Abstract
DINK is the abbreviation for Double Income No Kids. It is a natural tendency and indicates that the world is in the period of social transformation. The DINK phenomenon first appeared in America in the 1960s. Since the implementation of reform and opening up policy, great changes have taken place in China. As a result, China is becoming more and more multicultural and international. The DINK phenomenon appeared in China in the 1980s. This new lifestyle finally blended with the traditional Chinese lifestyle. Thus, a unique group of Chinese young couples emerged. Traditional family concepts are pervasive in China, but DINK is accepted by more and more young people.
However, due to the traditional concept popular for thousands of years that having more children is equivalent to having more happiness, there are different opinions on DINK. This paper will focus on the DINK phenomenon and emphasize the status quo of DINK in current China, its causes，英语论文范文，英语论文题目，its advantages and disadvantages and the different public attitudes. By analyzing all the above aspects, we will have a better and more comprehensive understanding of DINK.
The traditional concepts of fertility are very different from those in current China, but it must be admitted that the DINK couples’ choices are opposed to the traditional concepts and their behavior is different, but it is their personal choice. People should treat them with respect, understanding and tolerance. They have unusual pursuit and courage. There’s no doubt that this is a symbol of civilization and and inevitable demand of social transformation. Sometimes, small matters would gradually indicate a major trend. What we should do is to treat things dialectically. Then we would find a way to a better future and a proper attitude towards the social problems.
Key Words: DINK; current China; new lifestyle ; social transformation
摘要
“丁克”是双份收入，没有孩子的缩写。丁克现象的出现是社会发展的自然趋势，也说明世界正处于一个社会转型期。这种现象最先出现在20世纪60年代的美国。改革开放以后，中国发生了翻天覆地的变化,也变得越来越多元化和国际化。在中国，丁克现象悄然出现于20世纪80年代。这种生活方式与传统的生活观念碰撞之后，产生了一类独特的中国年轻夫妻群体。在传统家庭观念依旧普遍的中国，丁克越来越被更多的年轻人所接受。
但是，受到几千年来“多子多福”的传统生育观的作用，这种观念遭遇了一些不同的看法。因此本文将围绕“丁克”这一现象展开，着重介绍这一现象在当今中国的近况、产生的原因、优缺点以及公众对这种现象所持的态度。通过对这些方面的略论，我们将对“丁克”现象有一个更好、更全面的理解。
中国传统的生育观和当今的生育观很不一样，但是必须承认：尽管丁克夫妻的选择有悖于传统，他们的行为与大多数人迥异，但选择本身就是他们正当的权利。他们有异于常人的追求与勇气。人们应当尊重、理解和宽容他们的选择。这毫无疑问是一个社会文明的标志和社会转型的必然要求。有的时候，小的问题会逐渐显示一个重要准则。我们应该做的就是辩证地看待问题，然后去追求更好的未来，以正确地态度对待一些社会问题。
