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 Floods have Effected Human Beings and Wildlife

Floods are a natural calamity that ruins houses, wildlife, crops and takes life of many people as well. People were already suffering from COVID 19 and the floods made it even more worse this year. The people were not safe inside their houses as well.  Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times.  They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency.  It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably.

Maharani: A web series which has shown Rabri Devi to be a pseudo intellectual

Sony Liv has released a new web series called Maharani which is said to be based on the lives of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. However, this series has faced a lot of backlash and criticism because it has shown how Rabri worked for Bihar but the people of Bihar say that this series is cleaning the image of Rabri Devi.  The series shows how an illiterate lady who has no interest at all in politics and is happy with the normal life she is leading. She is relieved when her husband says that he will resign from the post of Bihar CM as he is shot.  Little did she know that she will be made the CM of Bihar as Bhima, her husband is unable to discharge his duties as a CM. At first, she is very reluctant to go to the CM office as she is underconfident and cannot speak fluently. She slowly gains confidence when people understand the work she is doing and she becomes the favourite of the Bihar people and ultimately gains their trust. However, the series is faulty on many grounds. Fir...
