Family Roles

In the 1980’s half of the nation agreed that the role for men was to go out to work and to be the main breadwinner of the
family. The role for women was to stay at home and look after the children and the house. This portrayed the strong definition
between men and women that had become a tradition through history, but that was about to dramatically change. In 2013 a
study showed that only 1 in 8 people still believed that gender roles should be separated and valued the old-fashioned
tradition. A tradition that has perhaps not changed so much in terms of overall opinion but more from personal beliefs, is that
most women want to be able to stay at home and look after their young children until they reach school age.
However, financial pressure is the most common reason for women going back to work sooner and putting their children in to
childcare, and many couples do not have the option.
Once all women were expected to stay at home and look after the children and the house. She would have given a
housekeeping allowance by her husband to pay for food and clothes, and perhaps a little extra for herself. Over time and since
women have started working, they have climbed the ladder of success, studying and training in well-paid roles with high
responsibilities, such as doctors and lawyers. Some women are career driven and have opted not to have children so that they
can focus on their work

Summary

The roles of family member has changed in the last few decades. I tis no longer just the father who has a job, but he
mother too. As the parents usually have full-time jobs, children are involved in housework, and older children
sometimes have to deal with their younger brothers and sisters. Husband also need to take part in household chores
and the upringing of the children. Some of the activities, such as doing the shopping or cooking, have become free-
time activities for the whole family.

Cohabitation before marriage

Why has cohabitation become more acceptable? And why do people choose to cohabit? According to Barna’s research, of
those who support cohabitation, 84% think that cohabitation is a good choice because it provides time for a ‘trial’ period,
when the couple can find out whether or not they are truly compatible. Other less-common reasons to cohabit were because
it’s convenient (9%) and to save money on rent (5%).
We are witnessing the postponement of marriage. In the last century most people decided to get married in their early
twenties, but today many study in tertiary education and start a career before starting a family. Some couples say that getting
married is solely a kind of formality and prefer living together. Others choose cohabitation to test their compatibility, or
establish financial security before marriage.

continue for a whole week.

An internet relationship is a relationship between people who have met online, and in many cases know each other only via
the Internet.[1] Online relationships are similar in many ways to pen pal relationships. This relationship can be romantic,
platonic, or even based on business affairs. An internet relationship (or online relationship) is generally sustained for a certain
amount of time before being titled a relationship, just as in-person relationships. The major difference here is that an internet
relationship is sustained via computer or online service, and the individuals in the relationship may or may not ever meet each
other in person. Otherwise, the term is quite broad and can include relationships based upon text, video, audio, or even virtual
character. This relationship can be between people in different regions, different countries, different sides of the world, or
even people who reside in the same area but do not communicate in person.

Long-distance relationships

With the advance of technology, partners find it much easier to keep in touch. Instead of having to wait for letters for
days or the evening to phone, they can phone wherever they are, send e-mails, chat online, or text to each other. Even
webcams are often used. Not only are all these means quicker and simpler, but they are also affordable as most
households in developed world have internet access and most people have a mobile phone.
