un eseu despre valorile familiei in engleza​

Answer 1

 Family values, sometimes referred to as familial values, are traditional or cultural values that pertain to the family's structure, function, roles, beliefs, attitudes, and ideals.

In the social sciences and U.S. political discourse, the term "traditional family" refers to a nuclear family—a child-rearing environment composed of a breadwinning parent, a homemaking parent, and their normally biological children; sociologists formerly referred to this model as the norm. A family deviating from this model is considered a nontraditional family. However, in most cultures at most times, the extended family model has been most common, not the nuclear family, and the nuclear family became the most common form in the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s.

Definition  

Several well-known online dictionaries define "family values" as the following:

"the moral and ethical principles traditionally upheld and passed on within a family, as fidelty, honesty, truth, and faith."

"values especially of a traditional or conservative kind which are held to promote the sound functioning of the family and to strengthen the fabric of society."

"values held to be traditionally taught or reinforced within a family, such as those of high moral standards and discipline."

In politics  

Familialism or familism is the ideology that puts priority on family and family values. Familialism advocates for a welfare system where families, rather than the government, take responsibility for the care of their members. American conservative groups have made inroads promoting these policies in Africa since the early 2000s, describing them as African family values.

In culture  

Saudi culture    

The Saudi family includes extended families, as the extended family provides the individual with a sense of identity. The father is often the breadwinner and protector of the family, whereas the mother is often the homemaker and the primary caretaker of the children. Parents are regarded with high respect, and children are strongly encouraged to respect and obey their parents. Often, families provide care for elders. Until recently, because families and friends are expected to provide elderly care, nursing homes were considered culturally unacceptable.

United States culture    

In sociological terms, nontraditional families make up the majority of American households. As of 2014, only 46% of children in the U.S. live in a traditional family, down from 61% in 1980. This number includes only families with parents who are in their first marriage, whereas the percentage of children simply living with two married parents is 65% as of 2016.
