问答题 PART 3

问答题 ·What do you think is the role of grandparents in a family?
【正确答案】Grandparents have traditionally been cast in the role of nurturer, supporter, mentor, role model and helper to their children and grandchildren alike.
Many parents realize that the bond between grandparents and kids is rewarding for both generations. In today's busy world, work demands can also make it difficult for parents to be as involved in their kids' lives as they would like. In these cases, grandparents and extended family offer the greatest help to parents.
Adult children leave their young in the care of grandparents with the confidence that the children will receive the same watchful care they themselves would give, and usually there are no tears of protest when the parents depart for an interlude of freedom. In China, many grandparents take on the responsibility of primary caregiver for young babies.
As a role model, grandparents provide grandchildren with examples of hard work and family loyalty by telling their own experience of the days when they were young.
In addition, grandparents are often regarded as the anchor that keeps extended family members together, and the source of inspiration for values. They play a unique and memorable role in the lives of children.

问答题 ·What is your opinion in one-child policy?
【正确答案】As China is having an enormous economic expansion it is also facing many problems. One of the major problems people have become more and more concerned about is the country's population. It is also very well known all over the world that in China couples nowadays are not allowed to have more than one child. It has received lot of criticism from almost every corner of the world ever since. Many people, especially people in western countries, consider this policy as a strong violation of human rights. Even though I think this is a strong argument, I will, however, not concentrate on this aspect in this report, instead, I will try to give a brief analysis of the problems from a more demographic and economic point of view.
It is no doubt that a policy like one-child policy in China right now will bring many good effects. As each couple is only allowed to have one child, they will do the best they can to give their child good education and good living conditions. They will do a lot to make their own child to be the best. It is favorable for the child's growth financially.
However, many people are worried about that today's children are more spoiled than ever. That they are treated as small princes and princesses is not an exaggeration but rather a fact. Many of the children are self-centered and lack the ability to co-work with others even though they perform well individually. Children often have much pressure of being successful and do not allow themselves to fail. I believe that it is a problem can not be ignored because a well-functioning society is result of group work rather than a number of individual performances.

问答题 ·What do you think of extended family and nuclear family?
【正确答案】I think each family module has its own advantages and disadvantages.
In an extended family, older adults can care for and teach young, pooling resources and childcare responsibilities, so that they feel they are useful and needed. As older adults are in this family, the whole bog family is more coherent — they help to keep the family relationship between the members. In time of crisis, there will be more people to think about the solutions. And older adults might be more experienced in finding them. While in a nuclear family, people feel like they can enjoy greater mobility and privacy, so that more resources from time to money can be devoted to each member of the nuclear family.
On the other hand, an extended family may have financial problems as there are more people in it and they have to share the available resources. Moreover, children's first caregiver may not be their parents, who sometimes might be a little lagged in their way of taking care of children compared with the modern ones. One big disadvantage in my opinion of a nuclear family is the control that everyone would have over each other. They think that since they are blood related, and that they've known each other all their lives that they have to keep care of each other. They may think that is what nuclear families are supposed to do. That can be good in a way, but sometimes it just may get out of hand, which in many cases could get ugly.

问答题 ·Are single-parent families unfavorable for children's growth? What do you think?
【正确答案】To be sure, children in single-parent families can't get due love or care from the other parent compared other ones from regular families. As there is only one parent to support the family, there are often financial problems caused by low income and a lack of child-care support. This results in the fact that children living in single-parent households tend to slip behind their classmates. More seriously, some children will isolate themselves from their classmates and friends, which sometimes leads to infantile autism.
However, I know of persons who grew up in single parent families who turned out fine. Single-parent families may become more interdependent, working-together approach to problem solving and daily living. Single parents depend more heavily on the voluntary cooperation of their children. In this way, children are involved directly in making decisions and solving problems. Secondly, young people may feel more needed and valued as contributing members of the household. In two-parent families, parents typically share the major responsibilities. In single parent families, each child's help is needed and vital in day-to-day living. As a result, they may feel more valued. Comparatively, children from single-parent families are more independent and more strong-minded.
