Page 97 - CROSS CULTURE

E. REFLECTION

1. What role do parents play after their children get married and
have offspring in your cultural context? Are there still
responsibilities towards raising grandchildren? How does society
view these obligations? Additionally, are there differences with
norms in the United States and other parts of the world?

2. Do you believe external factors such as politics, social media,
and technology impact family behaviour? If so, how? For
example, to what extent can children's television-watching habits
(within a range of one to three hours per day) influence their
social interactions with friends, siblings, and parents?

3. Do you consider it is normal if both parents choose to work,
whether for financial reasons or to advance their careers?
