In light of the differing styles and expectations, analyze points of conflict that would arise with the children when the parents swapped households and why (i.e., how the collectivist parents would respond to each of the individualist children, and how the individualist parents would react to each of the collectivist children).

Compare the grandparents' role in the collectivist family to the grandparents' role in the individualist family.

Is it possible to change cultural values? Explain your ideas and your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

An individualist culture tends to give precedence to independence as the recreation of individual achievement. On the other hand, a collectivist culture spaces more of an importance on the individual contributing to the interests of the family and the society. These thoughts and idea will likely form parents and their relations with their own children and their parenting way. In collectivist parenting style parents beliefs to support and follow the principles such as concern, consistency, and interdependence within their own family. Points, of the argument that would happen when the parents were swapped are in individualist child has an independence, having individual rights, self-sufficiency, independent living, individual achievement, shame/guilt due to any individual failure, whereas in collectivist its extremely opposite like its an interdependence, obligations to others, group achievement, fulfill roles with group, shame/guilt due to failing group. Grandparents’ position in the collectivist family and the grandparents position in the individual family is very much different as in individualistic cultures; people favor individual interest than the group interest. Grandparents live far away from their grandchildren because of which they are very less engaged with their grandchildren. On the other hand, in a collectivist culture, mostly all family members live near one another and help with child rearing. Grandparents in a collectivist society attend to their grandchild care and education, including care of them that their success or failure in school affects their entire family reputation. Therefore, grandparents in a collectivist culture typically have a great impact either positive or negative than those in the individual culture on their grandchildren’s life. So, individual culture has a culture in which the goals of the individual take priority over the goals of an individual. Yes, family members will adjust their beliefs and behaviors by modifying to suit the needs of the family and creating a set of the family adjustment.
