Notes from today:
Family life is very important to Asian people.
Traditionally, Chinese people had a strong relationship.
Family
life is not as important as before as a lot of people don’t get married
and they live alone; they think family life is not important.
In a small family, everyone is very happy and there is more time to communicate because there are fewer people. Everyone can fit into one car and go on holiday together!
Having
a small family means you spend less money. However, the number of
children in a family is decreasing – families are getting smaller.
The child can be more mature and look after many family members.
Having a small family means less people to play with and there is less excitement!
Having a small family means there are fewer people to help/ fewer personal relationships.
In
Japan, big families are very poor. In Japan (only) the family can
broadcast a TV programme on “Big Daddy!” if they have 14 children. The mother in a big family must be very strong to give birth to 14 children.
Having a big family means you have lots of support.
