Question

ENGLISH
Read the passage given below and answer the following question
The culture of families is in fashion. Parents are often heard complaining about the difficulties in
bringing up children these days. Too much of freedom in demand, too much independence; over night
parties; excessive extravagance, splurging pocket money; no time for studies and family all this is a
common cry of such families. Aren't parents, themselves, responsible for this pitiful state? The basic
need of growing youth is the family, love, attention and bonding along with moral values. One should
not forget that charity begins at home'.
Independence and individually both need to be respected, in order to maintain the sanctity of family.
Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to bridge the ever widening generation gap. Only
the reasonable demands need to be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be met and top many
social obligations to be taken care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in joint families.
Children loved to live with their cousins, learnt to adjust within means. There was perfect harmony
between the generations. There never existed the concept of old age homes. There was deep respect
for the family elders and love, care and concern for the youngsters. Even the minor family differences
were solved amicably.
