The March contest #1 by sduttaskitchen|Significance of Family!
First, I want to say that this is my first post in this community. I was invited to this contest by @m-princess.
This is the link to the contest Significance of Family!.
I invite @davidy3 and @annexnk.
Now, on to the contest theme:
Significance of Family!
• The significance of familial influences during childhood cannot be overstated. Share your opinion on it!
The type of family one is born and raised in does indeed have an effect on one's life: one's perspective, inclinations, tastes, dislikes—everything. Also, as one grows up and becomes aware of their social and psychological standing, a sense of belonging can arise, leading them to defend issues and ideas that are considered wrong and that no one in their circle dares to question. By assimilating all the family's teachings, the individual may feel they cannot see things any other way.
As an adult, the individual may develop a rejection of everything they know and grew up with, ultimately wanting to escape that world. This implies going against the grain and making a significant effort if they want better life prospects.
• Which type of familial culture would you prefer, and what is the rationale behind your preference?
I had a certain idea of what my family was like, and as I grew up, I realized I was wrong because I wasn't seeing people as they truly are. Now that I do, I can say that I don't have a family model that I like or idealize.
It's very bad to idealize people because then reality will hit hard, and many negative feelings can arise. The best thing is to see what kind of family you're in and see what you can learn from it. Often, what we learn at home isn't good or right. There are people who grew up in hostile environments and, as adults, look for an adoptive family (friends, partners, colleagues) that is the opposite of what they know and are already fed up with.
• Please analyse the advantages and disadvantages associated with various family structures, including joint families, nuclear families, and professional families.
I've already read about the disadvantages of the family types mentioned, and as far as I know, if you're born into one of them, or into a family that doesn't fall into these categories, and you feel comfortable with their dynamics, nothing bad will happen to you. However, if you don't like their way of doing things or their outlook on life, you'll have to put up with them until you can leave.
