Symmertrical Families.


The role of parents in UK and India is not that different. Only thing that differs is in the way they are brought. In UK partents give their children more freedom in life. This is not what is followed in India, their parents put restriction on children, such as children should be in the house when its dark outside, especially girls have to come home by 6pm-7pm if she fails to do She gets firing from her parents. Freedom is given to children but not until they strat going to college. In Britain theirs more common type of family system that is Nuclear family ,where husband and wife take share decisions even though again husband is more of importance. In India too this is the latest system but theirs also other system where they call it joint family where brothers and sisters stay together in same house along with their parents and families only thing is sister leaves the house once she gets married. Nowadays its very rare to see this type of family in India. Its very interesting to see the family pattern changing in Britain from dawn of industrial age up to now, theirs hardly any change in pattern in India as mentioned above. It seems to be common that men try to ease their frustration on women.

Welcome & Families

Familylife in Britain has come a long way and its changing fast nowadays.In past family in Britain was lead by two parents,with either 2 or 3 children.People use to stay married with single persons and their was no fad of getting divorce, even they use to have children after marriage.
This picture is now changed drastically, many people want to stay as single parent and most of the young people have children before their marriage.
Also their are some people who get married and want children in their late thirties.This may be due to their job or want to earn more money before strating of the family.The number of single parents is increasing as most of the marriage is ending up in divorce,and even some females prefer to be single parent without getting married.

My Experience in Britian so far

Every experience is valuable to everybody,and so was mine.Life style in UK is totally different from what I had imagined.People in UK give more respect to each other even while walking in road they greet each other no matter who it may be.Environment in Britain is Clean and more importance is given for using cleaner and greener fuel.I thing i noticed about people is that,they put lot of Perfume&Deos.Accent of people is more grammatically correct and they expect the same from others.One more thing people in UK don't get violent on small issues.The best thing is you get to see and experience all three seasons in single day.As far as expensive it is very expensive when i covert it into Indian Rupees.
Well many experience is yet to be gained,Especially during winter this is my first experience to see snowfall,hope I'm able to bare it!!
From my personal experience UK ROCKS!!!!!!!
