Abstract

Family values, defined as the lessons that are taught to the children regarding what is important in the family especially regarding gender roles. How the society and parents define and expect children of different genders to behave.This paper focuses on the values and the morals that parents inculcate in their children and how do they differ when the region changes. Even among the same country the behaviour and the nurturing pattern of the child and parents changes. The focus is on how parents define and shape the child with reference to the gender, age, hierarchy, and social status. The research also focuses on how gender roles change when the local, or country changes. It studies the change in expectations? of the society regarding how any gender is supposed to behave also what is considered masculine and feminine in different regions and how children are taught to adhere to those expectations.Along with this, the research also focuses on how those expectations? lead to gender discrimination and what types of discrimination are the children subjected to in different regions. E.g. in India boys should be manly and to show that manliness, they are not expected to cry.A small part of the research will also shed light on different kinds of abuse faced by the children for them to adhere to those gender roles while shedding light on the perpetrators of that abuse. And on the other hand how following those gender roles defines by the society makes the children not to speak up about the abuse in the society. How this affects the psychological welfare and the future of the child is studied in the research.
