In the latest fifty years many things have changed in our society and maybe they are still changing. School has changed, the possibility of finding a good job has become more and more difficult and highly unlikely and people seem to have lost their moral values. All this has caused a profound change in the family. If we compare a family of fifty years ago to a today's family, we will see that even the value and the role of family is spliting and step by step disappearing. The relationships between parents and children have been modified and they have got worse. There is less respect of parents, there is much more freedom among young people, quite often parents do not have enough time to spend with their own children and all this has been turning, and I think it already did, the modern family upside down. But what should the most important qualities of a good child and those of a good parent be? Well, a child should have respect for both his parents, he should act well, going to school to be educated and to create a good position in society, he should always make his parents proud of his behaviuor and of his actions - they always ought to be proud of their children's life - and when his parents get older, he ought to take care of them, just by staying always close to them, trying to be willing to help them and showing them all his love.
A parent is a very important and special person. He/She is that person who gives life to us and who generally loves us as much as he/she can. They bring us up, they defend us against everything and from all the difficulties we may come across during our life, but at the same time they are also people to be defended when they get older; they are people we should always try to get along with and, above all, they are those people we have to be thankful and grateful to for giving birth to us. This is my opinion abouthow a family should be and about the roles that children on one side and parents on the other side ought to play (to have).
