Initial family life presented stricter concepts in relation to parental control, punishment and role playing. In the initial family life, parents had greater control over the lives of their children, deciding issues around marriage, education, religions, among others. This is not seen in contemporary families, since the country gives them more freedom to make their own decisions on several factors.
In relation to punishment, the initial families used to impose more severe punishments for any kind of disobedience that the children could present. Contemporary families, on the other hand, have fought the existence of punishments, as they believe that they do not generate any teaching for their children, in this case, contemporary families prefer to use conversation to show how wrong their children are.
In relation to the performance of roles, the initial families had well-defined gender roles, where mothers were limited to domestic work and countries were responsible for financial support through secular work. In contemporary families, this role is fluid and well defined, where men and women interact in all necessary services.
