In todays age oldage homes have been increased and joint families have decreased, whats the reason????

Question

which 1 is healthy?????????????

Answer 1

Lack of sense of responisibilities, desire for more liberty, selfishness, lac of sense of gratitude, etc. are some of the reasons. All of a sudden people discover that they can't give enough time for their parents. Suddenly their parents become liabilities for them. They forget how thier parents sacrificed their time, their savings, etc. on these children. they take it for granted that what their parents did for them was their duty but they forgoet their own duties towards thir parents.

I believe joint families are healthy. I love it when that whole of my family sits together, discuss things, chat, etc.

All the best...

1. Due to medical advancements, more and more people are living to old age and need help to do things. Most people used to die of an infectious disease before they got to this point.
2. Unless you are financially well off, everyone in the family has to work and/or care for children, and it is hard for people to put in all of the time necessary to care for an elderly person.
3. Our system of caring for the elderly sucks. Probably more people would be willing to take in an elderly parent if they had a little help. Instead, the parent needs to get rid of all their money so they are broke and qualify for medicaid, and can get into a nursing home. The government is more likely to pay for a nursing home than pay to help someone care for a parent, even though the second option costs a lot less.
4. In general, society has changed and people prefer to get away from their parents and be on their own. Maybe there is some selfishness involved, but also people are just more mobile and don't want to be tied down.
5. The elderly themselves don't want to be a burden to their children, so they would prefer to go to a nursing home.
6. With all of the divorces and people delaying marriage, there are a lot more single people, and it is much harder for a single person to care for a parent.

Answer 3

You have really drawn the attention of good people, who have some time to think over our culture and its benifits.
As the economic growth and developments move forward they are sure to leave their print over our way living, thinking, eating and every things that matter to us.
I would like to answer it in two parts: (1) Young generation: (a)With the advance technology entering our day to day life, work load and life style of youngsters have changed dramatically. For young couples, when they come back after a streatched working hrs they want to just get fresh, have food and their sweetheart in their arms and enjoy toget up early next day with fresh energy to work again.
Its really tardy for the females to come back from office and start working in the kitchen till late night. They could hardly have any time to rest and have enjoyment of their married life.
(b) After complition of their studies if they are employed its natural that they would be seperated. After marriage the indvidual would have to stay with their mini family at the close location of their workplace.
Here is the actual cause that shows the doors to their old parents to oldage homes. If their child is enough sensiable and carring he would surely make some arrangement for their look after.
Its mostly the female who finds their old inlaws as useless and unwanted advisors. Its the responsiblity of both wife and husband(young couple) to take care of the ageing parents and they should never forget that they too are heading for the same.
Decrease in joint family: Due to selfishness, loss of confidence and breach of trust with in family members is on the spurt. No one wants to waste her/his money on a person who is ready to cut their throat either financially/other way. The very conception of joint family is rooted out. Indvidual finds its lucrative and the initial phase of becoming rich.
Joint family is still considered the best way to enrichment and growth by the bussiness class.(Though it is also effected by the same virus)

Answer 4

The reason there are more homes for old people is because people live longer then ever before and they don't want to live with the children and be a burden it also gives them a felling of independance. Joing families have decreased because the family is no longer what it use to be. Most familiyies these days have step brother / sisters, etc so it makes it hard to join families when there are so many joins.

Answer 5

because the concept of family is a thing of the past, Youth has no respect for there elders so why would they want to care for them. it started with the baby boom, Every one was like I won't be like my parent and it still happens today. There was a time when family stayed together they lived together children got married and often moved in with the family to run the family business which was usually farming, Today there just is not the family connection

Answer 6

Well without a doubt being with family is better!! My father lives with me--I went to the store to get his Ensure and was laughing about how I can't get him to try a flavor other than vanilla--the gal at the check out asked how old he was, I told her 86--she wanted to to why he wasn't in a "home", proceeded to tell me her parents were elderly and she just "didn't have time for all that". Dad is mentally sharp as a tack, physically he has a little trouble (I catch my breath when he gets out of his chair and toddles!!!) My sis and I are in the minority apparently--we figure--this man worked hard to support us, raise us, took care of his parents and his family as .long as he could--and we now have the privilege of caring for him. But the ole Goober's still in charge!!!!

Answer 7

Non of them is healthy but mostly its good to have old age home's as old people can live there if there is no body to take care of them. & joint family are decreasing because people want to be independent & don't want anybody to interfear in their family.

Answer 8

It is b'coz man became too selfish & reserved. Of course joint families are helthier. In joint families children grow in good wisdom&ancestral care.

Answer 9

Joint families are healthy if carefully taken careof.Sometimes it is being effected by some negligible reasons which cant avoided.My views is that everybody should remain near--but not as one family.That means everything is separate---but not separation of mind.

Answer 10

because people like freedom but the men is always happy in joint families
