A család szerepe az egyén és a társadalom életében

In my opinion it’s very important to have a family since it can give many things, which are
necessary in life. Firstly in case of children and teenagers family can secure them to have a
careless childhood that is substantial, because we had better not rush them to see the bad
things in the world. We should let the children to be children, and their families job to
protect their innocence. Usually its’s also the family responsibility to guarantee the kids well-
being, they are in good circumstances, make sure they get proper emotional progress, they
feel safe. Family even can give them role models, who they look up to, and teach them for
example socialization, norms etc.. These role models not only can get out among the
immediate family, but from the extended family too.
Of course family is important in adults life too. Just like in case with children they can give
financial security, emotional support or be the cause of successful studies, career. As they
can be the key of sucess, they also can be the obstacle of it. Like it’s harder to focus on your
career when you have children, who you have to take care of.
Families also can be the source of problems: like nowadays domestic violence is not rare,
between parents or even the kids can be victims too. Or the parents have relationship
problems, which often leads to divorce. And divorce can result financial problems, and kids
can suffer from mental problems because of that. They might have problems in the school
too, both in the part of studying, or their behavior changed a lot in the wrong way.
All in all I can say families have big influence how a person life goes.

együttélése
In the past usually more generations lived under one roof parents, children, grandparents or
even great-grandparents if they lived that long. I think that wasn’t so good because they
didn’t have much private space. Nowadays it isn’t so common to generations to live together
as it used to be, usually they live separetly. We can see the parents and children to live under
one roof, but we can also talk about single parent families where there is one parent,
because they divorced or one of them died, or just left. There are also mosaic families, which
consists of one parent and their children with the new partner, who may also have children.
Despite what kind of family we live, there are different family roles especially between men
and women. In the past the men were breadwinners, they were responlisble to earn money.
And we can say the women did everything else like house choires, raising kids, and ususally
they also looked after elderly and sick family members too. Of course as the children got
older they helped their parents. The boys went to work, and the girls helped their mothers
around the house, but these thins resulted that the children were very uneducated, because
they had to stop go to school. Nowadays that’s not happening since the society changed and
women started to work too. Now both women and men are breadwinners, and generally
they share the house work between each other. And also both look after their elder family
members. The children situation changed too, because now state education is free and they
don’t have to work if they don’t want to.
Still they can help do house choires, because they help a lot to their parents and can learn
responsibility too.
The grandparents have a huge part in a family life. They can help the parents raise the
children, since they have more experience in it, but unfortunatelly the retirement age are
higher than it used to be, so it can happen that the grandparents have to work too, so they
have less time to their grandchildren. They also can help them financially.
In families there are conlficts too, especially between parents and kids when they are
teenagers. But problems can be between parents and grandparents too about raising kids.
