BR 2-06: Getting together

“Families around the world get together to share things and to take care of each other.”

This time, I’m going to introduce everybody this book about family around the world. A lot of families are made up of the parents and one or two children and living in the same house in recent years. This kind of family is called a nuclear family and small family. In some countries like the USA, Australia and Japan, there are many nuclear families. In some countries, two or more families who are related live together and make one very big family and it is called extended families, it’s big families. In India, many families are extended families. Grandparents, parents and children live together in one house. When couples marry in India, the woman has to live with man’s family and she becomes a part of his family as an Indian custom. When she gives birth to children, they also become a part of a big family. In Inuit, people usually live in small nuclear family groups. Because Inuit people move around a lot to look for food, and small nuclear family groups are easy Because Inuit people move around a lot to look for food, and small nuclear family groups are easy to move around. Inuit people get together in their extended family groups to share foods and to take care of their children and teach about Inuit culture. So, their extended family is very important for them. Most Australian Aboriginal people have been lived in big extended families. Everyone share things and take care of the children. For hundreds of years, most families were big extended families in China. Two or more related families lived together and worked together on the land. Today, most families are much smaller nuclear families and most families have only one child because China is a very crowded country. Is your family a nuclear family or extended family? My family is a nuclear family. After I read this book, I thought that Indian families were very terrible. Because woman has to live with the man’s family and become a part of his family. I will surely to be harded on me from my mother-in-low. Do you want to live with your partner’s family in the future? I can’t surely to live with my partner’s family because I will be afraid of my mother-in-low. Thank you for reading!
