But, modern life and practices have destroyed the important role of the native education. For instance, tradition all over the world dictates that , the supposed parties in a relationship must be known by both families and what is recommended is traditional marriage.
Yet social change brought by religious teachings and conceptualization of individual freedom have changed this important education , two adults could be in a relationship for years without the families knowing.
It is not all tradition that mandates people to seek the approval of parents before getting married. Traditional marriage is also peculiar to certain cultures because this kind of marriage celebration has no place in some traditions. I know in some parts of the world the bride or groom has to pay the bride or groom's price but this culture is alien to some Western cultures. It is popular in most countries in Asia and Africa but many other countries don't pay such price
In the Greek native educational system, the female child is given the social education of home keeping , child rearing while , the male children are given military education from childhood by the governments of the justifications.
Women are no longer expected to end their careers in the home in the kitchen or raising children. Today's woman has her goals and ambitions and he has to work just as men to accomplish them. The global economic meltdown is also forcing women to abandon tasks at home because they also need to support the family financially. Some societies still mandate their citizens to go through some military training for a certain period. However due to the the spread of democracy that promotes fundamental human rights mandatory military training is not as strict as it was in ancient Greece.
So what can we do?
We all owe our children a responsibility and obligation, this is not far from the biblical instruction of training a child. Others may have failed their children due to circumstances or family behaviours. With your decision society will be a better place for you and our children.
Parents have the responsibility of guiding their children so that they can imbibe the right values. This can be achieved if parents spend more time with children instead of allowing teachers or caregivers to take responsibility. Parents should also behave responsibly because children mostly learn from the behaviour of their parents.
