Family value

3. A. Child rising
• Acculturation
• Personal independent
 Common expression : children should
1. ”cut the (umbilical) cod”
2. not to be “tied to their mothers apron string.”
3. learn to “be number one”
4.“to stand on their own two feet”
• Make decision and be responsible for their
action.

4. B. Young Adulthood
• Between 18 and 21 years children are “leave their
nest.”
• Without permission.
• Free to choose another carrier.

5. C. The Elderly
• The way the society and the family treat the
elderly reflects the independence and
individualism. People glorify and adore youth
and become very indifferent from the aged and
this attitude is the main reason why the aged feel
alienated and lonely.
• This quitein contrast with the Asian philosophy
of “Filial Piety”, in which children are considered
to be responsible for taking care of the aging
parents.

6. D. Nuclear and The Extended Family
• The treatment of the elderly can be better
understood when we compare and contrast the
nuclear and extended family structures. In the
USA, the nuclear family which consist of the
father, the mother and the children, is
considered “the family”.
• The extended family, common in other countries
including ours, includes grand parents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, nephews, niece and in-laws.

7. E. Stability and change in the family
• It‟s is imposible to describe a „typical American
family” because the USA is such a heterogeneus
country, consisting of so many racial and ethnic
groups.
• Many families with strong religious or ethnic
background still continue preserving the closeknit extended family.
• Any how, economic conditions, societal attitudes
and job mobility compete with traditional
influences.

8. F. Family values
• Change in the social and family structure can be
seen by the increasing number of separation and
divorce. In certain areas these trends have resulted
in a growing number of :single parent”
families, remaired parents and communal life styles.
But this does not mean that the institution of
marrriage is breaking down.
• More traditional viewpoints think that these
changes represent a breakdown in the family
structure, a disintegration of values and a decline in
moratily.
