Why do NA, W.EU and Aussies have weak family culture?

[I'm_Tired]

Based on my observation and having grown up with white people from Western Europe, North America and Australia, I can see they have a weak family culture where it's all just the "couples and the kids".

They're nothing like most Asian, South European, South Americans, African and Arabs families (90% of the world outside the West) where they're in the whole another level when it comes to family, extended families, relatives and distant relatives, even as far as considering friends as families.

In Western movies where they depict the olden times, you can really see white people had a strong family culture where the whole community backs each other in times of hardships. What happen to those days?

It really irks me how kids gets the boot after reaching adulthood and the parents gets sent off to age care to be taken care of by Filipino nurses. That doesn't happen with others where they stay with the parents until they get married and looks after them later in life.

different culture and values plays a significant part in the upbringing of children in a family and they in turn grow up, have children of their own and pass that along to their children.

[GhostyOsty]

In older films it is stereotypical to show a nuclear family. A strong foundation and reliable, whether in real life family cultures are weak and realistically not strong as in films do not consider the problems and mental health within family.

Although Asian, South European, South American, African and Arab families usually depend on each other. Another consideration is the wealth of the country. If a country is relatively poorer, than the family outcome is stronger as relatives are needed for hardship and general struggling. Built together to survive.

Furthermore, Western Culture tends to fall as it is wealthier and does not consider family as required. Selfishly the family culture tends to die quicker. And etc, etc... Although this may not always apply, it could be because of tension between families. Not limited to Western Families whatsoever.

That's how I see how family culture works around the world.

This is a major play in family. Totally right.

Better to keep the slaves poor so they can cluster in large family units taking up less space.

Thus you get the "Americans are too greedy" attitude.

The problem in the "West" is the family values are being eroded by the money squeeze. To try to maintain the same standards of their parents it takes a lot more work since they are getting less value for their labors.

They have to sacrifice something to survive and it becomes family.

Both the East and West have the same problem Greed of those in charge.

It is just the East and West are at different stages on the road of slavery.
China has been a slave state for generations and it has become a science.
The West is just been learning and trying to catch up to get their slaves in the right spot.

Capitalism promotes individual success and self-reliance.

Capitalism often emphasizes consumerism and the acquisition of material goods. Families might prioritize earning and spending over spending quality time together.

Under capitalism, there is a greater acceptance and prevalence of diverse family structures. This includes single-parent families, childless couples, and blended families.

This reads like it's more about white people. Are you racist OP, or just ignorant?

Not all asian countries. Japan already moves away from that family focused lifestyle long ago and also put their parents in nursing home once they reach 18. And this is partly on the propagandas to strengthen the economy back then and also the economic situation.

There are certain things in place which makes people not rely on families as much. Like with taxes and mandatory insurance fees everybody in the society cares for others - but more indirectly. The question is rather why some people hate this idea, but would focus only on themselves.

You don´t need many children to earn Your pension, when You´re old. You don´t need many relatives to get things done - on the contrary, this would count as black work which harms the gpd. Also You don´t work for Your parents, in their business, but for a company - to make someone else rich.

When the government hands out enough substitutes for unwed families that is is about as easy to survive, or in some cases which multiple baby daddies to get supplemental income, easier, it will break apart the family structure. It is an example of a well intentioned program backfiring due to human nature.

It's only natural to help your family. Idk. When mine needed me I dropped it all and moved 3000 miles back home to help. That was 13 years ago. Dad has since died, mom got old, the family property needs caring for, and brother never went far so he's here needing help too. Idk why but it seems like every family has one of us while the others do their own stuff.

My being near is helping everyone. Financially all of my pension is pooled into caretaking. Someday I'll recoup some of it (maybe) by selling the land. The house will goto my brother, and if he's gone, my church. From there I'll go back to doing what I'd like for my remaining years, knowing I did my duty. That being specifically, mission work with an organization like imb.

Umm most Greek families have 3 houses each around the country.

Well the ideal is to have both money and family values.

Odd thing though, human nature tends to make the ones with the most money also the most greedy.

Life really is a balance.

Depends at how you look at it. Is a family strong if they have to live together just to get by or is a family strong when everyone has their own paid off house and they don't need help.

Its hard to have a strong family when both parents work all the time. And the parents really don't have to care about the kids, because they count on the government funding their retirement.

And marriage is seen as a liability or a big cash payout. And the more the lawyers smear and ruin the reputation of someone in the divorce, the more the winner gets, at the cost of society no longer trusting one or both of them.

And when the media tells you, you can't trust any men or strangers. And everyone problems are best solved by a professional, a pill, or consumerism, rather than extended family socializing,

And everyone drives a car, rather than walks, because when people walk together a lot they socialize. And even if you wanna walk, you'll be one of the few doing it unless you live in a city.

And the law, why if you offend someone, they might take you to court
