Question

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: 5 x 2 = 10
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 home’.
Independence 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 too 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.
Questions:
a. What are some of the common complaints from parents?
b. Who according to the passage are responsible for the present state?
c. Explain ‘charity begins at home’ with this context?
d. What do the children learn when they live in joint families?
e. What type of family do you like to live in? Why?
