Family_Value

Family Value In my childhood, I was very depressed if my mother was not home when I came back from school. My father went to work in the morning and came back in the evening, and my mother stayed home, cooked hot meals and welcomed me back from school. That is what I call a traditional family and take for granted. A traditional family structure in the content of 20th century in the United States culture is a nuclear family, which consists of a husband, a wife, and their children. However, this family structure has been challenged by alternate family structures such as a single parent family. I strongly believe a traditional family structure is more desirable for children than a non-traditional. One of the most significant characteristics of a single parent family structure compared to a traditional is an unbalance between a father’s roles and a mother’s. Some people might claim that men can do whatever women can do such as housework, cooking and taking care of children.
