Family

1.  Family 

Humans started to be united (মানুষেরা একত্রিত হতে শুরু করেছিল) in the family during the pre- historic period (ইতিহাস-পূর্ব সময়ে). A helpless primitive human –being (আদিম মানুষ) got shelter in a family. At first it was mother- centred (মাতৃ-কেন্দ্রিক ) . Years after years through harsh experience (কঠিন অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে), it became father- dominated (পিতৃ-শাসিত) . Humans began to gather themselves in the society and family became the unit of the society. After the middle age, the world saw changes in the family pattern. Extended family (যৌথ পরিবার) at first and afterwards nuclear family emerged সৃষ্টি হয়েছিল) to keep pace with the modern age (আধুনিক যুগের সাথে তাল মিলিতে). Unfortunately (দুর্ভাগ্য বশতঃ) extended family faced some jolts (আঘাত) and it was inevitable (অপরিহার্য) for urbanization (নগরায়ন) and industrialization (শিল্পায়ন) . An extended family is a large family consisting of (গঠিত হয়) parents, children, grand- parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The family gets streams of guests (অতিথিদের ভিড়) visiting the house. So there is much noise and confusion (হৈ-চৈ). In such a family the members enjoy less privacy (কম গোপনীয়তা পায়). Sometimes one has to share one’s room. Younger ones are administered (শাসিত) strongly by the elders. Most often younger members are at the elders’ beck and call (বড়দের আজ্ঞাবহ). One can hardly concentrate (মন বসাতে পারে না) on one’s studies. Household chores (ঘরের কাজ র্কম) become burden and it creates misunderstanding (ভুল বুঝাবুঝি) among the family members. Proper economic arrangement is hampered (ব্যাহত হয়). As a result, such type of family suffers from economic crisis (অর্থনৈতিক সমস্যা ). Considering all these (এসব কিছু বিবেচনা করে), I do not like an extended family though I came of an extended family(যৌথ পরিবার থেকে আসলাম ) .
