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 of 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.
