The Family Today

Does marriage ever exist today? What about the children that does not have a family? Where do they go? In this essay , I am going to write about the difference between Kuwait and United States families.

In 1960s, Kuwait had a frequent number of marriage as they can get married when there too young. They had a very big, happy family. Before oil was established,people worked hard in the seas and go far away  to make money so they could let their family live.Morover, they parent their children so well and made them learn about the culture of Kuwait.

After 30 years, there has been a tremendous increase in marriages. The difference was that we have oil and people now need to work in a high class job to get his family living a great life. The advantage is the husband cannot be far away from home.But the disadvantages was the number of people that got divorced had gone up significantly.In addition, children cannot be treated this way . It confuses the children's life and can make his life a big breakdown.

In the other hand, I have learnt from the American families that they have a step-families or adopted to other families. It can save the chlidren's life and make them happier. But the difference in the United States is that the american families live below or near the poverty level for example job , school problems etc.Compared to Kuwait, we rarely have this type of situation as the government helps us to save the family . The other difference is that husband can take care of his children while the wife goes off to work. While in Kuwait, mostly husbands does not stay with family because they had nannies.
