Family tradition has the same advantages as the emotional high sticking, preserving traditions, customs, rituals, bringing into play room, part celebration, part religion. Family members can help each other condition both physically and mentally, care for the elderly and the youth reformatory. That is the fundamental value of the family should be inherited and developed.
However the downside of this type of family is that while preserving the fine traditional values is also where all maintenance practices, outdated practices, outdated. Besides, the difference in age, lifestyle, habits also lead to inevitable consequence is conflict between generations: between grandparents - grandchildren, between mother - bride ... Besides maintaining community spirit, family tradition also somewhat limit the free development of each individual. In our society today is growing, this seems kind of family lacks maneuverability and slow adaptation. This explains why the number of traditional family style is significantly reduced and no longer the stereotype of today's families.
2. Modern Family
Modern Family exists miniature trend from the past, some members of the family also becomes less. Modern family Vietnam only 2 generations live together: parents and children, the number of children in the family and not as much as before, there are few individual single family but the most popular is still family-style Nuclear.
Trends nuclear family became popular in Vietnam is due to the advantages and the advantages of it, especially the suitability for its time as the development of market economy, the introduction foreign cultures, the change in the conception of man, of equality enshrined, outdated standards are eliminated, ... notably, the emancipation of women: they are more equal treatment and there are conditions for development, empowering their society. The role of women is becoming increasingly more important, family burden is shared. Gender equality and equality in general do respect for each person is free to develop. Economic integration makes the human life is more advanced, quality of life improved, enjoying increased demand.
Thus the transformation of the family showed itself are making a positive function, changing the family itself and also the change of social system, make society become more adaptable and suited to the situation new image, new era.
But the transformation from the traditional family to the modern also certain weaknesses. It's discrete relationships, family loose. Due to the economic respect, respect for money, social status of the family members had no time concerned, worried and communicate with each other, emotionally distant family days out. The family gradually lost its good value. Besides the fast pace of life, hustle, especially in young people that family members tend to individuals, increasing the gap between the generations. Vietnam family is facing many threats and challenges of the current changes. It is the lack of care, child care, pushing full responsibility for school education was causing psychological disorders in children, such as depression, autism; the situation of street children, drug addicts ... Meanwhile the elderly are at risk of being pushed into a nursing home or be at the mercy of the health care services. But the flip side of the family change not only affects the elderly and children, but also affects the whole society, especially in family relationships. More and more the phenomenon existed previously unprecedented or rare as domestic violence. divorce, separation, adultery, cohabitation ... We have flawed family relationships, make family become fragile, easily shattered. In addition, the other evils of trafficking in women and children across borders are threatened and cause family disintegration risk.
In short, the family size changes Vietnam is a inevitable necessity. The changes that adjust themselves to suit families and also social social adjustment to suit the specific conditions outside. Consequences creating a new family model has better adaptability to the changes of society to replace the old traditional family. It is a general trend persists despite many drawbacks. The most important thing is to preserve the good value, preciousness of traditional families and promoting the positive aspects of the modern family, create a family mold of modern Vietnam, the first.
