1. Family tradition
traditional family is the extended family whose members bound together by blood ties strings. In the traditional family can have from three or more generations living together: grandparents, parents, children, but they are called the "triangle, quad, five top contemporary way."
Family traditions have advantages as the high point of emotional attachment, preserving traditions, customs, rituals, bringing into play of family holidays, part religion. The family members can help each other condition both physically and mentally, care for the elderly and the youth reformatory. Those are the very basic values of family should be inherited and developed.
However, the downside of this type of family is that while preserving the fine traditional values are well maintained, where all files customs, traditions backward, outdated. In addition, differences in age, lifestyle, habits also lead to inevitable result is conflict between the generations: between grandparents - children, between husband and mother - bride ... Besides maintaining community spirit, family traditions also somewhat limit the free development of each individual. In society today is growing, this seems kind of family lacks maneuverability and slow to adapt. This explains why the number of traditional family pattern is significantly reduced and no longer the stereotype of today's family.
2. Modern Family
Modern Family zoomed exist trends from the past, some members of the family also becomes less. Vietnam modern family only lived 2 generations: parents and children, the children in the family is not as much as before, there are a few isolated single family but the most popular is still family-style kernel.
The trend of nuclear family became popular in Vietnam is because of the advantages and the advantages of it, especially the matching of its time as the development of market economy, the introduction of foreign culture, a change in the concept of human equality enshrined, outdated standards are eliminated, ... Notably, the emancipation of women: they are treated more equal and have the conditions to develop, enhance their social status. The role of women is becoming increasingly more important, family burden is shared. Gender equality and equality in general are respected makes each person is free to develop. Economic integration makes human living standards improve, the quality of life is improved, enjoying increased demand.
Thus the transformation of the family reveals itself are making a positive function, rather family change itself is also changing the social system, making society becomes more adaptable and suited to the new situation, a new era.
But the transformation from traditional families to modern also has certain weaknesses. That relationship disjointed, loose family. Due to the economic respect, respect for money, social status of the family members have no time care, concern 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 the young people that the family members tend to be individuals, increasing the gap between the generations. Vietnam family is facing many threats and challenges before changes in current. It is the lack of interest, child care, promote full responsibility for school education was causing psychological disorders such as depression in children, autism; the situation of street children, drug addiction ... 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. Increasingly exist many phenomena that were previously unprecedented or rare as domestic violence. divorce, separation, adultery, cohabitation ... We have flawed family relationships, make families become fragile, easily broken. In addition, other evils of trafficking in women and children across the border are also threatening and cause family disintegration risk.
In short, the family size changes Vietnam is an indispensable not inevitable. The change that adjust themselves to suit families with social and also social adjustment to suit specific conditions outside. Consequences creating a new family model has better adaptability to the changes of society to replace the old traditional family. That's the general trend persists despite many limitations. The most important thing is to preserve the good value, preciousness of family traditions and promote the positive aspects of the modern family, create a family mold modern Vietnam, the first.
