What do you think about the joint family system? Do you think a joint family system will help the new generation to grow with abundance of knowledge. Do you think it will helps to eradicate the selfish attitude among the people?

Hello Shak, When there is so many members to watch how can a person do wrong things? There is a feeling of security with joint family where in nuclear family that is absent.

That depends on which culture you live in. Each family life style has its own benefit and the dark side. Well, if joint family, we are trying to harmonize the many people's idea. Which sometimes could be a nightmare when we are trying to make a conclusion. Because too much ideas.

I agree that may be a drawback. Still we can take decision by knowing the most experienced person’s opinion in the family. Different opinions definitely help to analyze the situation deeply and find the right solution.

There is sacrifices, understanding, cooperation, love and respect, all these are present in the joint family concept. Kids can learn how to respect elders from the very beginning.
