The family and relationships

The traditional family has almost disappeared in cities since the introduction of population control in the late 1970s. Not only are single children greatly indulged, but emphasis on the individual is also affecting relationships as more and more youngsters opt to stay single, or live together rather than get married. This clip covers the customs involved in introducing wives and husbands, talking about sons and daughters, as well as the formal words for mother and father.
