Similarities and Differences between the Arabian and the American Family

When we conducted our first survey, I noticed that the family is so important for the American. In our Arabian culture, we highly appreciate the family concept. However, we believe that the family’s members should be together in terms of cooperation, assistance and collaboration. We believe that each member has its own role, for example, we believe that the main role for the mother is to do the house's work and raising children; that does not mean she couldn’t work. Moreover, we also appreciate the extended family, which is the family that includes aunts, cousins and so on. As a result, the Arabian family is more nuclear than the American.

  3. I love the fact that you mentioned our extended families. Because it's true when we say family, we mean relatives, too.
