Things about Modern families and Traditional families

Things about   Modern families and  Traditional families


         In contrast, modern families don't need anyone to help their work because they work in the office. They only have one or two children and don't live with their relatives. I think this difference effects modern families because they will not know their relatives, as traditional families do. They only meet them on special occasions, such as birthdays and New Year.
 
  For example, children aren't get used to their grandparents because they only meet them a few times per year. They will not respect them as much as they should have. I think it will become an aggressive problem in our societies because they don't know how to esteem or sympathise older people. Children won't obey or help them when they grow up. For instance, teenager don't obey their teachers, as they were little children or they won't give seats to old people when they see them in subway.
  
   Another difference between traditional families and modern families is head of family. Men are always head of traditional families. Women usually take care of children at home, whereas men work outside. Women and children must listen and follow whenever men tell them. Men have the power to order members of their families to do everything, even if they don't like to do. For example, fathers can choose husbands for their daughters. It is not a good idea for women and children always need to believe their command, so now they're changed to modern families.
        
 Modern families don't have the head of family because women and men are equal. Both women and men work outside. They share ideas with each other. Women and children don't obey the men's orders if they think their orders aren't correct. Women and children can decide by themselves. For example, women work outside, as men do. When women come home, they don't do house works alone because men need to help together. I think it is the positive change in our societies.
            
The last difference is discipline. Traditional families have many rules that directly impact their children. I think parents of traditional families are always strict because they have a lot of children to look after. It is only women who take care of children at home, so they need to have a lot of rules to control them. On the other hand, modern families have few rules to control their children. Parents of modern families work outside. They don't have enough time to take care of their children, so they don't have time to make rules also. They always spoil them. They hire someone to take care of their children while they're working outside.
