In the past, the extended family was a form of social control. Though you are the biological child of your father and mother (parents), everybody else remotely related to them was also part of your family. They could discipline you, advise you, or help you depending on the circumstances. In the extended family system, your father’s brother was just as much your father with full powers. Every body was his brother’s keeper.
Others are also of the view that, the nuclear family is the best. They argue that, the extended family encourages laziness, discourage investments and promotes irresponsibility – for why should you be responsible for someone’s else’s thoughtless actions, to the extent of paying children’s school fees or providing accommodation for a distant third cousin from a dried up family tree?

Today on drive talk we are ask; which one do you prefer? Would you encourage extended family system since these days it has become nonexistent and non functional or to you, you think the individualism and capitalism that nuclear family brings must be maintained.
