Question

II. Read the following passage and answer the following

questions:

The culture of nuclear 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; overnight

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 a growing youth is the family, love, attention and bonding along

with moral values. One should not forget that „charity begins at

homeIndependence and individuality 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.
