People are using the idea of the Nuclear family as, move away from your family for a better job, get married, have children and disconnect from your familial foundation.

2018-02-14 18:32:54 UTC  

That's not how it was intended

2018-02-14 18:33:03 UTC  
2018-02-14 18:33:07 UTC  

maybe that's how its been twisted in modernity

2018-02-14 18:33:30 UTC  

It's an idea that was promoted in the mid 20th century.

2018-02-14 18:33:40 UTC  

In the 50s, "nuclear families" still had close ties to their other generations and their communities

2018-02-14 18:33:55 UTC  

also...remember that we have such greater freedom of movement and opportunies thx to massive advances in technology

2018-02-14 18:33:57 UTC  

Goto school, go to college, get a better job and move away from your family

2018-02-14 18:34:11 UTC  

so we can easily physically disconnect from our blood family

2018-02-14 18:34:19 UTC  

which in the past was not the case

2018-02-14 18:34:26 UTC  

thereby we lose that bond

2018-02-14 18:34:34 UTC  

which cannot be replaced by skype and internet

2018-02-14 18:34:41 UTC  

We MUST start SHAMING these ruinous concepts of family!

2018-02-14 18:34:47 UTC  

(((Skypes)))

2018-02-14 18:35:46 UTC  

the concept of going to college to get a better job is solid. just b/c your dad was a farmer and his dad and so on doesn't mean you have to be.

2018-02-14 18:35:55 UTC  

you can do better or different

2018-02-14 18:35:57 UTC  

Capitalism, us doing so well finiancially has enabled us to disconnect from a evolutionary pattern our ancestors have followed for millennia.

2018-02-14 18:36:24 UTC  

yes the pursuit of wealth has clouded that pattern

2018-02-14 18:36:33 UTC  

You should stay a farmer I believe

2018-02-14 18:36:41 UTC  

If you don't, who else?

2018-02-14 18:36:57 UTC  

Eventually that kind of thinking will get no farms

2018-02-14 18:37:19 UTC  

technology will advent robot farms...but i just used that an example

2018-02-14 18:37:41 UTC  

modern day fact is that we have much more freedom to move up social ladder

2018-02-14 18:37:56 UTC  

if we want to

2018-02-14 18:38:08 UTC  

in the process I think ppl can lose sight of their roots

2018-02-14 18:38:15 UTC  

Indeed

2018-02-14 18:38:17 UTC  

i want my kid to be 100% better than me and so on

2018-02-14 18:38:20 UTC  

nothing wrong with that

2018-02-14 18:38:29 UTC  

People DO lose sight of their roots.

2018-02-14 18:38:39 UTC  

The majority do.

2018-02-14 18:38:44 UTC  

does

2018-02-14 18:38:46 UTC  

whatever

2018-02-14 18:38:47 UTC  

lol

2018-02-14 18:38:50 UTC  

Grammer is gay

2018-02-14 18:38:53 UTC  

But working in a city instead of a family farm, is definitely losing your roots

2018-02-14 18:39:06 UTC  

Just an example, I know

2018-02-14 18:39:08 UTC  

lets not forget about the bashing of religion as a tool to destroy family ties and connection

2018-02-14 18:39:16 UTC  

Just expanding on my point

2018-02-14 18:39:18 UTC  

which is easily lost in the pursuit of temporal gain

2018-02-14 18:51:07 UTC  

@Odalman We grammar nazis now

2018-02-14 18:51:35 UTC  

It's been 11 years since HS.
