Joint Family and Nuclear Family


There are two types of families existing in India. One is the joint family system which is an old and traditional system where all the relatives of the family live together. Nuclear Family is a family where people do not live with their relatives and have a separate world of their own. Both families have their sets of advantages and disadvantages. Here we will be comparing joint and nuclear families and try concluding which is the best environment for a person. 

1. Unity 

Joint families are always together and united. They form a bond between two generations. The tradition and culture keep on passing throughout the family lineage and people get to know about their values and traditions. 

2.  Insurance for Elderly 

Joint families serve as insurance to older generations as they can stay at home without worrying about anything else. They have a safe environment called home where they spend their time. 

3. Dependency 

Unlike nuclear families, people can depend on each other in a joint family for any kind of work. This makes them strong and confident. 

4. Leisure Time

Females have much more leisure time in joint families as compared to nuclear families as the work gets divided between various ladies in the house and the work is completed fast and quick. 

5. Quarrels

Nuclear families face fewer quarrels as compared to joint families. The quarrels can be between parents and children or husband and wife. 

6. Bonding 

Nuclear families are based on love and respect for each other. It is about parental love and sibling connection. 

7. Freedom 

Nuclear families have much more freedom when compared to joint families. Nobody has to worry about what others will think. They are not answerable to anyone and can roam around and come back to their homes at their convenience. Democracy is a vital part of a nuclear family. 

Thus, we see that both the family types have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages and it is perhaps difficult to choose the best of the two.

How online education is proving to be the biggest failure in India

As we all know that the schools have been closed due to COVID 19 pandemic and the students have been taking online classes from the last few months. Online classes are becoming the biggest failures in India. Some of the reasons for the failure of online classes are bad internet connectivity. Despite knowing that all the work around the world is being done online, the cellular networks are not increasing their network speed due to which the class gets hampered.  One of the other reasons can be that students do not have a habit to take classes online and that also on laptops and computers. They do not learn until they get scolded or shouted upon. That system has completely led to the failure of the classes as you do not know whether your concepts are clear to the students or not.  The teachers are also facing a lot of issues in taking online classes as all the matter needs to be written well before hand so that the explanation becomes easier. The setting up of the class like env...
