In recent years, the structure of a family and the role of its members are gradually changing. What kinds of changes can occur? Do you think these changes are positive and negative?
Change
is an integral part of life. Changes in the family structure and members' roles are inevitable, in the last
few years. This
shift in the structure and the roles can lead to some consequences. I think some of them are positive, or some others are negative.
On the one hand, the change
in wives' role
in the family is the most prominent change
that has ever occurred. A woman's journey from being a housewife to being a businesswoman happens to be a reality because of her role
shift. For example
, In the past, a woman's role
was to take care of babies and home chores, but now her role
has shifted from housewife to breadwinner. It's no longer only a mother's job to look after the offspring. More and more fathers can be seen taking care of their children. This
change
has provided us with a society, which supports gender equality. And this
is an acceptable and much-needed change
.
Nuclear families have been taking the place of extended families. In the name of privacy, rituals of joint family are fading away. Which is for sure not the most desirable change
. For example
, children in nuclear families are deprived of grandparents' love and stories with life lessons. Also
, elderly people feel isolated and neglected. Therefore
, Transformation from joint households to nuclear households is not a positive transformation.
In conclusion, structural and contributional alteration in households comes with some benefits and drawbacks. But the change
in the wife's role
is the most significant, leaving the stereotypical and conservative thinking behind.Submitted by Oliver on
