Egyptian Family

Nowadays we see how ancient family structure is similar to our family structure in some cases or in some countries, depending on traditions because there are things that have a completely change for example organization, roles and interactions of families but many others are completely same like the concept about family.

The concept of family is still the same or very similar to the concept of our family because when the ancient Egyptians get married immediately they create their own house and their new family because they want to have kids, all of this is a result of the ideas that they had about marriage because Egyptians think that the goal of marriage is to have kids, also girls and boys were accepted with the same happiness. But the core of family is too small because Egyptian families were conformed by three people, they just have one child, so this is the biggest difference between Egyptian family and Colombian family.

The organization and the interactions of Egyptians families are different in many aspects for example in the Egyptian family the father has the obligation of maintaining the family working on land or in trade while mom is in charge of the kids and maybe she could make some activities like sew, cook or prepare parties. Egyptian woman were very classy they use many jewels and make up, this continue in our society and in our families but one of the biggest changes is that nowadays woman are laborious, they contribute with money to supply all the needs of home, because they work in an office and in the house with the diary activities.

The ancient family express affection and familiarity in the same way that our families do because one of the most important things for Egyptians were family and child, and this is very common and important in our family structure too.

Finally we can conclude that topics that are related with family between Egyptians and our families are so similar taking into account that some of them have changes because of the evolution of generations and because of the culture.
