The family has
always been very important in all times and societies. However, contemporary
families differ a lot from large traditional families. A traditional, or
extended, family had a similar structure in different countries. It consisted
of several generations and was headed by the eldest man in the family. For
example, an ideal traditional Chinese family consisted of the head of the
family and his wife, their three or four sons and their wives (the daughters
didn’t live in the family as they moved to their husbands’ families after the
wedding) and a dozen grandchildren. People lived shorter then, and that’s why
usually there were no more than three generations in a family.Children
were absolutely dependent on their parents and grandparents, and the status,
role and behavior of each member of the family were strictly regulated. Nobody
could break the rules. The interests of the family were above the interests of
an individual member. If anyone ignored or betrayed the family interests, they
were punished very severely. Most traditional families in Russia,
Ukraine, and Poland looked the same. Nowadays families are much smaller. They
often consist of two generations only: parents and their dependent children.
The family of this kind is called a nuclear family. There are no male or female
responsibilities within the family. This means most women go to work and earn
some money, and men often help with cooking, washing and some other work round
the house.Children behave differently too. They are allowed to express their
point of view and take part in decision-making on different family’s issues.
Sometimes they can even ignore the senior generation’s recommendations or
advice, which was absolutely impossible in traditional families.Children are
more independent nowadays, and when they grow up, they often prefer to live
apart from their parents. Having separate homes, however, doesn’t matter much
as long as adult children care for their parents and remember to help them.
