Women must get up early to prepare breakfast for all members of their family. On the other hand, we don’t see this event much in modern families. Women can wake up at the same time as their husbands and not prepare anything.

This is an example that shows the difference between traditional families and modern families in my country. I think there are many differences, but I am going to contrast only three major differences, which are size, head of the family and discipline.

One important difference is the size of the family. The size of traditional families is larger than that of modern families. They normally have more than ten people in their families, whereas modern families have only three to four people. Traditional families always live with their relatives and have many children, so they are large families. Another reason is your job. Traditional families are farmers. Family members can work on their farms, therefore they do not hire workers. They can save a lot of money.

On the contrary, modern families do not need anyone to help them in their work because they work in the office. They only have one or two children and do not live with their relative. I think this difference affects modern families because they will not know their relative, as traditional families do. They only meet them on special occasions, like birthdays and New Years.

For example, children do not get used to their grandparents because they only meet them a few times a year. They won’t respect you as much as they should. I think it will become an aggressive problem in our societies because they don’t know how to esteem or sympathize with older people. Children will not obey or help them when they grow up. For example, adolescents do not obey their teachers, since they were small children or do not give seats to the elderly when they see them on the subway.

Another difference between traditional families and modern families is the head of the family. Men are always heads of traditional families. Women tend to take care of children at home, while men work outdoors. Women and children should listen and follow whenever men tell them. Men have the power to order their family members to do everything, even if they don’t like to do it. For example, fathers can choose husbands for their daughters. It is not a good idea that women and children always need to believe in their orders, which is why they have now switched to modern families.

Modern families do not have the head of the family because women and men are equal. Both women and men work outdoors. They share ideas with each other. Women and children do not obey the orders of men if they believe that their orders are not correct. Women and children can decide for themselves. For example, women work outdoors, as do men. When the women return home, they do not do the housework alone because the 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 your children. I think the parents of traditional families are always strict because they have many children to take care of. It is only women who take care of children at home, so they need to have many rules to control them. On the other hand, modern families have few rules to control their children. Parents of modern families work outdoors. They don’t have enough time to care for their children, so they don’t have time to set rules, either. They always pamper them. They hire someone to watch their children while they work outside.

This difference actually affects modern families because their children will always create problems to get their parents’ attention. For example, children do not go to school because they want their parents to ask them why they do this. They want their parents to talk to them. This article has presented three differences between traditional families and modern families in my country.

I think these differences may indicate some development of the family system from the past to now, such as caring for children and their lives. When societies change, families change too. Both good and bad things change. People should choose only the good things to change in their families because families are important.
