Modern Families and Their Lifestyle

I live and brought up in joined family system. I am used to this lovely and lively bond. I know that for many joined family system is fragile and not a top-notch living standard but for me it's perfect in number of ways.

Understanding of Each Individual at home

We are twenty five members living under the same roof in one building. We all interact on daily basis,do conversations from morning till night.

Sometimes we fight too and there are also so many lively moments to enjoy and to live. These liminal, spaced, paused, incomplete moments made our life special and colorful one. It's true that when we fight we think that we all should draw boundaries between us but we all remain together in all the worse, bad and happy times. In this way, we have understanding of each relative who lives with us.

Emotional & Moral Support

Many times, I feel that I am privileged that I have so many family members around me who always support me either morally or emotionally. Their support always motivates me to do more than I am actually doing. My uncle see me with proud eyes and that's real beauty of joined family that everyone regards each other.

Separate household is good?

It's up to culture, society and economic system that wetter families want to live separately or they prefer joined family system. In the culture of South Asia, culture allows joined families more than separate families because our economy, societal and cultural system is different from western nations and other nations. Although this mindset of separate living is prevailing in our own cultural context and their are many families who are living separately and being cutt off from their extended families. This is actually modern and western trend which is deeply linked with power structure and economic status of any society.

Family system is determined by your social status and this social status decides your religious status too. The higher you go in social status the more you loose grip on your religious values and the more you become financial independent then more you become independent from social norms and other societal structures.

Modern families are entrenched with financial independence and they focus more on emotional support as everyone has observed that in this time, psychological trauma, depression and stress got more highlight in society. If we analyze modern time with time of one or two decades back then we got to know that these psychological traumas were not in highlight but now these are in every other discussion. This is actually plus point of modern families that they talk about emotion and they talk about psychological well being of every individual in the household.

The one disturbing thing in modern families is divorce rate. It is shocking to see that divorce rate is reaching to it's limit and concept of single parent is dominant in almost every culture. I think this is drawback of this system. You can disagree but real beauty of a complete and beautiful family lies in the picture of family framing kids, mama and papa. No doubt, a single parent can do anything but parents have superpower with which they always shelter their kids.
