Emerging Trend "Nuclear Family"

India is a vast country enriched with traditions,beliefs and values.Our family system,the traditional joint family system no longer exits.Now it has become very rare to find.This has destroyed due to modernization.Nowadays when the youngsters get married or before or even before, they have practiced to live alone away from home.This may be flexible to them but we are losing our traditions which is precious than anything else.In other words, we are losing our moral identity.In a joint family we live with our parents,grand parents,spouses and so.The daily routine works are shared among all the members of the family.Now many of the valuable principles needed for better life like adjustment,sharing and affection are learnt through books, induction programs and various classes.We are paying to learn that, but in those days it was taught and practiced.In nuclear family all works are to be done either by husband or wife and so too much of work pressure relies on them.In some of the cases it leads to separation, which also became a new trend nowadays.Its all due to misunderstanding and no elders to guide or advice us and we do not have patience to listen to them even they do.We think we have acquired wide knowledge and so we know what to do and what not to.Because of this, we do not let anyone be there with us to help us on what is good and bad.But one thing we forget that "Experience" can teach us much more than what we collect and have.Since at this stage we are mature enough to handle some situations,we get into trouble.In joint family there are many caring souls to teach us and our wards all the good "values" to make them the worthy citizens of the country.
We should grow our values and carry our precious traditions along with our growth!!! Being the future generation we should think on this and act accordingly to preserve our moral values and wonderful traditions - Which is our identity!!!
