Today we will told to do a online discussion. I feel like carry on to the story so i paste it in here. those who are interested and read about it..
Q1. Watch the segments on Family Types, Matrilineal Lineage and Family Lineage. What is your family type? What is your family lineage?
I belong to nuclear family and I am from patrilineal lineage.
Q2. Based on the segment on Family Genogram, give a brief description of your family history (tracing from your grandparents, to you).
My father which is 3rd son of my grandfather. I have a total of 8 uncles and aunties. One uncle and one aunty is elder than my father, and because I am the first male grandchildren, I was given a lot of care and attention.
My grandfather came from China and meet my grandmother in Malaysia. They got married to each other somehow. All my uncles and aunties was borned in Malaysia. After which they were all sent to SIngapore to study by my grandfather. Only my father and elder aunty stay at Malaysia because they are too naughty and repelling. So all my other uncles and aunties came to Singapore to study English school, and my father was studying Chinese school in Malaysia. (as my father is chinese educated he find it hard to earn a lot due to the inability to speak English)
My father came over to Singapore himself when he was 24 and worked as a car technician. He meets my mother who was then a sale promotor. They got marry very soon and the I was born. (my father is very street-smart and my mother is very hard working, that why i can live a comfortable live now)
Q3. Are you for OR against Cohabilitation? What are the reasons behind your stand? Elaborate your answer.
I am not againist cohabitation. Seriously, I felt that couple needs to spend time together and know each other living habit. Some people can quarrel over parnter's living habit and then divore because of that. I feel that its perfectly fine if both parties agree to it and they need to have mutual respect. Marriage to me only is a piece of paper to protect both party. If two person really love each other, they can just stay together without the need to get married.
Q4. In your opinion, what are some of the family issues confronting Singapore families today? Elaborate your answer.
Divorce rate in Singapore is increasing. The marriage cert become more and more useless. So what if they get married? They can just divorce as and when they like. Just go through a 3 year seperation and that's it. Another reason is that Singaporean is getting more and more open minded. Young couple experience their first sex experience average at 19 years old. So there will be a higher tredency that this immature youth will get married because of shotgun cases. Later they will find that they are too young to commit to each other and divorce in the later stage.
This will oso arise to more and more single parent cases. So when these single father or mother can to remarry again, the children will have a step-parent. As there are survey saying that step-parent often neglect the other party children when they start a new family with the divorcee.
