  1. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    There were two standards to justify a good son or daughter: caring for the parents and the obedience of the parents. Today, dramatic changes in our society have greatly affected people’s concept. As for the two standards, the former remains unaltered, while the latter actually changed.

    Parents always expect from their children love, respect and help. I think these qualities remain unchanged. However, at old times parents expected from their daughter to be a good and practical woman because in this case she can marry a good and perspective man. Nowadays, I think parents’ expectations from their daughter have changed. Now a woman has the same rights and opportunities to make a great career, make money and be successful at equal terms with a man. It means that now parents are not so worried about a future perspective husband. They know that their daughter can take care of herself and be happy. Nowadays parents teach their daughter to believe in herself, be motivated and strong. They want to be proud of her. As for a son, I think expectations remain the same. Parents see their son as a clever, motivated and successful man.

    Another quality used to judge a good son or daughter in the past should be the obedience of the parents. At that time, a virtuous young must follow his parents’ decision in his education, career planning and even marriage. My understanding about this phenomenon is that in traditional society, what is emphasized was the group value rather than individual value. Parents, as the leader of the family group, would make decision on behalf of the group. Therefore, to young people, the obedience of the parents would benefit the whole family and at the same time is the conformity of social order. However, in today’s society, the situation is different.

    On one hand, the individual value is gradually enhanced; on the other hand, parents’ suggestions become antique since the society is advancing too fast. Under such a circumstance, young people tend to pursue their own aim and make their own decision. Meanwhile, parents’ concept also changes. They no longer exert too much influence on their children; instead they encourage them to chase their dream. To them, a good son or daughter should be the one who develop well both in his or her career and personality; in some extent, the success of their children actually indicates the success of the parents.

    In conclusion, we know that the qualities a good son or daughter should possess indeed have undergone some changes. Things changed according to time and environment. It is not that the changes that has been made is not good, it is according to the changes of the world. Regardless of that, there are some that doesn’t change. Whatever it is, if the changes are for the goods, then it meant no harm to the generation.

  2. In my view, all the parents expect respect from their children'. If children respect their parents’ means they would be able to get respect from their children. From my point of view parents are gods and they introduced this beautiful world to us. So children should respect them, if you respect your parents means they are able to get the respect from remaining your family members and society. The qualities of a good son or daughter have remained the same in our culture. Parents expect the children to study hard, help their parents and be well-mannered. The kids meeting the qualities are estimated to be pretty good children. I will write the reasons in the following sentences.

    First, the ideal children for the parents will not change even if generation changes. When people guess what the ideal children are, they will come up with the children having the qualities above. The thinking has not changed in our culture for decades. Rather, it must not be changed even if time goes on. Everybody knows the qualities above are excellent. Nobody can denounce them. Suppose that adults deny the qualities, it means that the qualities of the adults are lower.

    Second, every quality above is pretty useful after children grow up to adults. Parents know they are inevitable for the society of adults. They want the children to be that kind of adults. Basically speaking, the aim of education is to make children good adults. Without the qualities, the children will be evil adults.

    Finally, parents do not have to worry about the children when they have the qualities I mentioned. If their children study hard, what the parents worry about? Also, if they help the parents so much, why the parents worry? The parents easily raise their children compared to the ones not having the qualities. The burden of raising children is less for the parents. It is natural that parents want the children to have the qualities above.

    Conclusions are the important qualities of children have remained. The parents will feel happy if the children study hard, help them and behave properly. The reasons are that the good qualities have not changed, the qualities are educationally proper and the children having the qualities make the parents relieved. The qualities will not also change in the future.

    Assignment : What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter?

    Being a parent is one of the most fulfilling experiences a person can have. There is a natural instinct that seems to come to a new parent, but there are bits of advice that can help when you are challenged in the growing up years. The most important thing however, that any parent can give their child, is a sense of being loved and the most important thing that any parent can remember is that they don't have to be infallible to be a "perfect" parent. At times, being a parent can be difficult and challenging. This is why to raise a good child, parenting help is vital. Nonetheless, every parent should want to raise socially, responsible children who are productive in society.

    Anyway, this is all about how to be a good child, either a good son or good daughter, which is different than being "a good kid". Being a good child implies how you behave towards your parents, whereas being a good kid is more about being good on an individual basis. If you are a good child, your parents will trust you, you will get good grades, and your life will be much happier thanks to these changes.

    What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter?

    Be yourself. Well, if you don't know the real you, just act naturally, the self you are most laid back and comfortable in. Do as you would like to be done to you. Listen to people and make everyone feel good. Stay calm because if you yell a lot and are argumentative, people won't want to be around you. Don't use bad language. Most people don't think bad language is cool. They think it makes you look stupid.

    Be cool with your parents. Don't lie to them, and don't do any sneaky stuff, because they know what you're doing anyway, there's no way around it. Help them to build a wall of trust for you, but when you get it, don't let it fall down again! Do well in school. Listen to everything your teacher says, take notes, and even make little practice tests for you to practice your skills.Get along with your friends and family, especially with your brothers and sisters even though that part can be hard.

    Some example of the qualities of a good son and daughter are obedience, loyalty, respect, which have not changed. Any parent will tell you that, like their ancestors, they expect these qualities from their children. Parents demand that their sons and daughters, regardless of age, obey them. Even if the children are married and have their own children, they should still do whatever their parents ask of them. At least, that's the way it was. Parents also expect loyalty from their children. This quality is probably still very common. Most children today will support their family against others. Parents, of course, demand respect. As children, we are taught to respect all adults, parents and others. We often feel that the adults in our lives are not being fair with us or are being too harsh, when in all actuality they are only trying to protect us and keep us from making mistakes of various types, including some of the same mistakes that they had made when they were children themselves.

    Obedience, loyalty, and respect are virtues that are being challenged today. We may not obey our parent, give them the loyalty or respect they wish or deserve, but I hope my children obey me, are loyal to me, and respect me. It is because the Bible say this, Honor thy parents that thy days maybe long upon the earth which the Lord thy God give thee. To me, it is very important to honor our parents. If not because of them we will not be able to see the world.

  4. Question 11
    When asked about the important qualities of a good son or daughter, people have all kind of views concerning it. From my point of view, the important qualities of a good son or daughter consist of listening to the right advice from parents, taking care of parents when growing up and respecting them.

    The most important quality, I think, is that we should respect our parents. It was our parents who brought us into the world and brought us up. They provided us food and clothes, and send us to school to study knowledge. They tried their bests to make our life happy and comfortable. Accordingly, it was our responsibility to respect our parents, including their labour and opinions. We should not spend too much money on useless things because it comes from parents’ labour. At the same time, we must listen to the right advice from parents and don’t act according to our own wishes and desires despite the objection of parents.
    Besides, what makes a son or daughter a good child has to do with the way they act towards their parents. In my opinion, a good son will always respect his parents regardless of the situation. He will never raise his voice to them, or be disrespectful. We owe our lives to our parent, therefore, it is only fare to give them back the same amount of love, care, and the respect they have given us. Most of our parents have worked really hard to give us all that we need. They keep two or three jobs to provide us with the life style we want. So that we can go to the best schools, and get a good education. Mother is just one person, she cannot be replaced with anyone else, she is the one who carried us in her womb for 9 months, and spent all those sleepless nights taking care of us. Giving unconditional love, and showing us all the things we can accomplish, supporting us through the toughest times of our lives.

    A good son should have many merits. From my point of view, respecting the parents and caring for them are the most important for everyone. What’s more, they can’t be changed with the development of the society because they are the fundamental qualities for a good son or daughter.
    To conclude, the important qualities of children have remained. The parents will feel happy if the children study hard, help them and behave properly. The reasons are that the good qualities have not changed, the qualities are educationally proper and the children having the qualities make the parents relieved. The qualities will not also change in the future.

  9. Relationship between parents and their children is very special and unique. Naturally, sentiment, care and love develop in the children’s heart toward their parents. But to be a good son or daughter, there are something he or she needs to have. In my idea, respects, being sentimental and industrious are the most important qualities to make parents happy and feel well. I‘ll give here some of my supportive arguments.
    Firstly, respect is the prerequisite quality of any son or daughter. I think they should and must be respectful to their parents who gave birth to them and brought them up. This is true in every case. However our parents are, they are the ones who we should pay the most respect and gratefulness to. In my country and in other Asia countries, this is even the first and only quality to consider whether he is a good person or not. And I think, nowadays, it is the same in every part of the world. We can’t see a person who treats his parents badly a good son or a good person. People like that can’t treat their parents well because they don’ respect their parents, whereas respect is the roof of fine and dutiful behavior of human beings.
    Secondly, being sentimental is the next important quality. Like other kind of relation, sentiment between parents and children need to be looked after, and being sentimental is the most effective and essential means to transfer how and how much the children respect their parents. The more sentimental the children are, the happier their parents are, and because the latter feel that the children who they love wholeheartedly understand and can share sadness’s and happiness’s with them. This is more necessary when the parents get older, when they retire from work, having little work to do and less friends to talk with. They feel lonely and their children themselves, by expressing their fine feeling will make parents happy.
    Thirdly, industriousness. Maybe you are wondering why this is also a required quality. Simply, it is seen obviously that all almost parents have to work hard to bring up their children. So, you can imagine how happy they are if their children can help them in their ability. Children can’t do many things but there are not few things they can’t do for their parents. In fact, in our lessons about morality in my primary school, there is a story about a son silently help his father to earn money and how moved the father is when he found how hard his son was. That is just a lesson, but practically, children can do the housework, look after parents. Moreover, this quality is necessary because to be a good son or daughter, we may have to look after when our parents are ill or get old, and this is a work requiring industriousness
    Actually, to be a good son or daughter completely needs more qualities and those qualities are even different in different countries, but the above are the most important and necessary things, and are the roof for other qualities. With respect, industriousness and sense of sentimental, I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy. And by doing that, they are becoming good sons or daughters.

  10. In this world got a lot of different cultures followed by their religious. Today teenagers are mostly followed the western country culture. But be a good daughter or son what are the good qualities there must be want it? It is also followed by their religious. How to be a good son or daughter? It is not such a easy thing.
    Firstly, as daughter or son, we must respect our parents and the elders. Usually in our country culture, there use to call sister or brother. In our culture there think we call the elders by name is not a manners. When the elders discussed about a topic ,the younger is cannot talk at there. At the same time, we talk to the elder we cannot raise our voice even though their words are hurt us or we don’t like their decision related to our life.
    In all culture got different thoughts. An example, in Hindu culture the women want to wake up earlier before the sun rises up. In this culture there will listen their parents or elders advice. There cannot argue with their elders. It will become a big issue and there will face a lot of problem in their family.
    But now the teenagers are do not think to continue the same culture. There are start to think widely about their culture and compared it with western cultured. So, some of the cultures are changing ready and some of them still remain. An example, now we can see if the daughter or son want to take the decision about their life, there can take it independently without worried the elders. The elders also understand and will give permission and there also will be tolerate with them. This will help the daughter or son to create their life as there like.
    Now mostly daughter or son calls their parents by use the name. The parents are didn’t bother about it. Because there will know the teenagers are followed the western cultured. Other than, son or daughters are also can take a part when the elders discussed about something and also there can give their opinion to the elders.
    Lastly, as a good daughter or son there must respect their parents and elder , because are the important person to care about our life. At the same time, we give independent to their daughter or son as western people gave.

    What are the good qualities of a good son or a good daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    For mother and father, what they want in their life? I means that what the significant things that they want in their life as a parents? What are the most important things that they can complete their life as a family? Of course the answer is children. They don’t put sex is the main things but they just want their children become a good son or a good daughter. This things is enough for them. It will brings a happiness for their life as a parents.
    For mother if they have a daughter, of course they want their daughter help them in the kitchen. I means the daughter is hardworking. Compared to the father, if they have a son, they want their son become a real men. So in the future, their son can take the responsibilities as a leader in their family. Other than that, not forget about the religion. For a muslim, of course they want their son and daughter can pray and read the prayers. It is good characteristics or a good qualities for a good son and a daughter.

Sometime, for a muslim they look nice if their wearing a clothes that covers the aurat. All people surroundings her will think that “ Ohh, this is a good girls, look nice. Who are the fathers of this daughter”. This is the first expression from the people surroundings. Nowadays, have many of social team in our teenager such as skin head and black metal. For this group, clothes that are they wear are the symbols for their group. This is the significant things that we must overlooked at our son or our daughter.
    For a children, friends are the most important people after the family. They have spend their time with their friends. Because of that, influenced from the friends can bring a lot of changes for our children. If he be friends with the Mat Rempit. They will be same like them. So they must know how to pick the good friends that will bring a good influenced. This is the good personalities of a good son and a good daughter.

  12. Question 12: What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    The important qualities of a good son or daughter are respect, obedience and care. These are the primary qualities that parents expected from their son or daughter. These qualities that would be remain for ever in all the cultures.

    In my view, all the parents expect respect from their children'. If children respect their parents’ means they would be able to get respect from their children. From my point of view parents are gods and they introduced this beautiful world to us. So children should respect them, if you respect your parents means they are able to get the respect from remaining your family members and society.

    Next, parents also expect obedience from their children. Obeying to the parent’s words would be the respecting to their age and experience. Some parents think that their children obey their words all the time and even after their marriage also. In this case good son or daughter handle the situation easily without hurting their parents and loved ones.
    Third all the parents want a helping hand in their old age. Good son or daughter feels that would be their responsibility to caring the parents in their hard times. In an old age parents would desires love and affection from their children. As a good son or daughter we should full fill all their needs.

    Parents always wish their children have a better life and they try their best to bring the best things for their children. Therefore, achieving great success in life is another way for us to prove we are a good son or daughter. This is also a tradition in my culture, expressed in a saying: ‘in a good family, children must be better than parents’, it shows that the family has developed and thus attains the respect of society
    In the end, I think that untill we become parents ourselves we can't fully understand our parents. But after that, you realize which is your part in life and you try to do your best so they can die in peace with the feeling of fullfilment in life.

    In the important qualities of good as daughter or son its respect on each other especially in elderly people, for example parents is the main important. We must respect. For examples when the elderly discussed or talk with other people, the younger must quiet and cannot talk at there. Other than that in our culture need respect each other, for example in sibling we need call them by priority start from the elderly until the younger’s. Beside that its same in the outside when we want to call other people we need to respect and in elder we cannot raise our voice even though their words are hurt us or we don’t like their decision.
    Beside that in our culture especially in the Malaysia culture, we combine with many culture especially Chinese, Indian, Malay, Sabah and Sarawak. Each culture have a different way to get or limber their daughter or son to be a good quality. However parents should give a support and give the best knowledge to their daughter or son. So that the daughter can follow their mannerism.
    In other hand, in our culture always do a many that can be a effective as a good quality of a son and daughter. We always visit relative to take care each other, so we can be close friendly , if they need help we can give as a helper. Parents should teach their son from deliver until adult. Teach to call mom and dad.
    Beside that, if have any festival especially in Hari Raya and Chine New Year they give angpau to the son as a culture. And when we live in next to the neighbour we can give or exchange our food to them.



    As a conclusion, if the good qualities of a good son and daughter have in their self, people in surroundings will be respected with them. I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy.
    And appreciation for the things they have done for us is the most important one to get a good quality for a good daughter and son.

  14. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Every parent demands the good qualities of a son and daughter. Son and daughter are significant to maintain a good heredity. They also reflect the behaviour of their parent. Son and daughter act as a mirror for their parent and because of that, it is considerable to have the good qualities of a good son and daughter. Each son and daughter must have good qualities and these qualities are remained the same over the time in our culture. Although they are grown up, good attitude and behaviour need to be maintained.
    Love and care to our parents is the key of every good quality. From these, we can build other qualities to our son and children. As parents, they can build and manage their children’s attitude. Every son and daughter needs to be responsible and respect their parents. These two qualities will remained the same over time in our culture. Respect is not only important to our parents but also to society. When we respect others, they will respect us too. As children, we have our own responsible to take care of our parents and make sure them happy with us.
    Despite of that, as children we need to obey to our parents. Obedience is vital to show we are a good son and daughter. Obedience brings blissfulness to our life. It is our responsibilities to obey to what our parents say. The words that come from our parents bring a deep meaning and it also carry a positive value although we do not like it. Parents know better than their children. The experiences from their journey give advantages to children. For that reason, we must obey all the rules and regulations from our parents.
    On the other hand, as a good son and daughter we need to be independent and trust ourselves. We need to help our parents to do house work like wash clothes, swept the floor and fold the clothes. We must be hard working to lighten our parent’s burden. These qualities must be maintained and can be a role to the future. As a malay, these qualities is significant to reflect our attitude moreover among the village people. They demand the good qualities of son and daughter to make sure they have a good generation.
    To summarize, good qualities of son and daughter is important to maintain our culture. The qualities are related to the culture and it reflects our family. It is remained same and did not change with time. Although our country had developed to development country, the good qualities still need to be keep and maintained to reflect our parents.

  15. Every people have their own cultures. By the influence of the cultures may produces different character of the child. It same goes to the qualities of a person. The qualities of a child is depend on the nature of the parent; from the way their talk, the way of solving problem, the way of communicate and many. But, even how bad or good parents are, the parents always have the common expectation on the child. For example, respect elders, obedience and care.
    From my point, I was think that the good qualities of a child had remained the same over time in my culture. First, the respect is the primary element in a family. I believe that all family have the rules like the younger should not raise the voice while talking to the elders even the things or decision their make was let you angry. If you do, it may reflex back to your parents with lack of family education.
    Second of all, it is obedience. Obey to the parent’s words or instructions are a must. It is because their eat salt more than we eat rice which to prevent us step the wrong way due to there are full knowledge and experience depend on their age. Some children will obey their parent’s words all the time and even after their marriage also. For example, the elders always said that do not shake the leg during eating. It is because they believe that all wealth and luck will be shaking away. But from my view, it may due to the image problem and it is so rude and not so good if a girl wears the skirt with her shaking leg and the body. By obey them; a family may less quarrel and fight to make decision and also without hurting their parents and loved ones.
    Finally, care is also important in a culture. By the time going, our parents will become older and oldest and the body will become weaken than before. So, that is the time of a child to be responsible takes care on the parents not only physically but also psychologically. Without care on them, you can image that the elders may be sent to the old folk house or nursing home, or else, leave them on the street. It may create the social problem and the religious issue after they die. Overview, if we do care on them, this problem may not exist.
    To sum up, the family education should start from childhood due to there are good absorption and vice versa. I also wish that I will be able to practice those qualities in the present as them care me since I birth.

  16. When asked about the important qualities of a good son or daughter, people have all kind of views concerning it. From my point of view, the important qualities of a good son or daughter consist of listening to the right advice from parents, taking care of parents when growing up and respecting them.

    The most important quality, I think, is that we should respect our parents. It was our parents who brought us into the world and brought us up. They provided us food and clothes, and send us to school to study knowledge. They tried their bests to make our life happy and comfortable. Accordingly, it was our responsibility to respect our parents, including their labor and opinions. We should not spend too much money on useless things because it comes from parents’ labor. At the same time, we must listen to the right advice from parents and don’t act according to our own wishes and desires despite the objection of parents.

    The second quality for a good son is that we should care for our parents when we grow up. Nowadays we have already attended the university, usually far away from parents. So we should keep in touch with them by telephone, letter and e-mail, not making them feel lonely. We may talk about their life at home, such as their work and their health. In fact every time when I give a call to my parents, I may feel that they are very happy because of the telephone. The reason is that not only can the get the information about me, but also they know that their son concerns himself with his parents.

    A good son should have many merits. From my point of view, respecting the parents and caring for them are the most important for everyone. What’s more, they can’t be changed with the development of the society because they are the fundamental qualities for a good son or daughter.

  17. The qualities of a good son or daughter, through the ages, have a great deal of differences from those ones, which were approbated once. However, a few qualities are the same as the ones in the past years.

    Firstly, I will give some changes in the following statements. In the past time of China,
    parents hope their son is so strong and brave that they would be supported and protected in their ages because man is easily able to earn living supply, such as food, clothes, house and so on, or make money to buy them. The daughter is expected being of tender and gentle so that she would get married a good man that means she would have a good fortune and her parents would not be worried because she does not make a living herself. As a good son or daughter, one of the most important qualities is he or she has to be obedient and submissive everything for their parent. For example, he or she would marry with a person who would be satisfied by their parents rather than loved by themselves.
    However, in modern society, no matter son or daughter, the best quality is that they are positive, motivating, and responsible facing their life. Parents hope their son or daughter capable of do everything independently and wisely referring to their suggestion.

    Secondly, several good qualities are remained and are developed. With the development of society, more and more girls are educated and are able to support her, even others. Hence, the qualities of a good boy basically are the same as those of a good girl. In general, almost parents adore their children; in turn they need to be loved by them, especially the olds. Therefore, no matter modern or past time, to care for their parents is regard as one of the necessary qualities. Additional, their excellent behave and their parents, such as he, also appreciate amazing performance or she is diligent and concentrated in their study and do their best in doing everything.

    Of course, every parent has different viewpoints of the qualities of a child. I think the most primary qualities are he or she is of love, enterprise and responsibility around them.

  18. QUESTION 11
    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Parents have made every effort raising their children: they afford children food and shelter, paid for children’s education and help shaping children’s value. Therefore, when children grow up, they should care for their parents as a reward. In my opinion, caring for the parents represents not only a reward but also a virtue an esteem of the effort of the last generation. During hundreds of years, this virtue remains unchanged no matter how drastically our society has reformed. In the past, family usually existed in the form of big family in which all the family members lived together. In the family, the parents were taken care of in precedence their food and accommodation were usually the best. Today, although the family ethic changes and most young people choose to work in big cities living parents in their home town, they still care for their parents in other ways such as sending money back to parents or hiring nurses.



    Another quality used to judge a good son or daughter in the past should be the obedience of the parents. At that time, a virtuous young must follow his parents’ decision in his education, career planning and even marriage. My understanding about this phenomenon is that in traditional society, what is emphasized was the group value rather than individual value. Parents, as the leader of the family group, would make decision on behalf of the group. Therefore, to young people, the obedience of the parents would benefit the whole family and at the same time is the conformity of social order. However, in today’s society, the situation is different.
    On one hand, the individual value is gradually enhanced, on the other hand, parents’ suggestions become antique since the society is advancing too fast. Under such a circumstance, young people tend to pursue their own aim and make their own decision. Meanwhile, parents’ concept also changes. They no longer exert too much influence on their children; instead they encourage them to chase their dream. To them, a good son or daughter should be the one who develop well both in his or her career and personality in some extent, the success of their children actually indicates the success of the parents.


    From the discussion above, we know that the qualities a good son or daughter should possess indeed have undergone some changes. Today, being a good son or daughter is much easier than in the past since many constraints have been removed.

  19. What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture. Use specific examples and reasons to support your answer.
    ------------------
    Relationship between parents and their children is very special and unique. Naturally, sentiment, care and love develop in the children’s heart toward their parents. But to be a good son or daughter, there are something he or she needs to have. In my idea, respect, being sentimental, and industrious are the most important qualities to make parents happy and feel well. I ‘all give here some of my supportive arguments.
    Firstly, respect is the prerequisite quality of any son or daughter. I think they should and must be respectful to their parents who gave birth to them and brought them up. This is true in every case. However our parents are, they are the ones who we should pay the most respect and gratefulness to. In my country and in other Asia countries, this is even the first and only quality to consider whether he is a good person or not. And I think, nowadays, it is the same in every part of the world. We can’t see a person who treats his parents badly a good son or a good person. People like that can’t treat their parents well because they don’ respect their parents, whereas respect is the roof of fine and dutiful behaviors of human beings.
    Secondly, Being sentimental is the next important quality. Like other kind of relation, sentiment between parents and children need to be looked after, and being sentimental is the most effective and essential means to transfer how and how much the children respect their parents. The more sentimental the children are, the happier their parents are, because the latter feel that the children who they love wholeheartedly understand and can share sad nesses and happiness’s with them. This is more necessary when the parents get older, when they retire from work, having little work to do and less friends to talk with. They feel lonely and their children themselves, by expressing their fine feeling will make parents happy.
    Thirdly, industriousness. Maybe you are wondering why this is also a required quality. Simply, it is seen obviously that all almost parents have to work hard to bring up their children. So, you can imagine how happy they are if their children can help them in their ability. Children can’t do many things but there are not few things they can’t do for their parents. In fact, in our lessons about morality in my primary school, there is a story about a son silently help his father to earn money and how moved the father is when he found how hard his son was. That is just a lesson, but practically, children can do the housework, look after parents. Moreover, this quality is necessary because to be a good son or daughter, we may have to look after when our parents are ill or get old, and this is a work requiring industriousness
    Actually, to be a good son or daughter completely needs more qualities and those qualities are even different in different countries, but the above are the most important and necessary things, and are the roof for other qualities. With respect, industriousness and sense of sentimental, I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy. And by doing that, they are becoming good sons or daughters.

  20. The happiest day of parents is when we are born in this world. When we start to cry, to scream it shows how proud our parents is. Parents show us their love and care, they raise us with full of attention. As a return, when we had grown up we will remember to take care of them like they use to look after us and protect us in any situations. Parents will scold us when we do wrong as to teach us, knowing the wrong aspects so that we will learn and be a better person with a bright future.
    To my opinion, the good qualities of a good son or daughter depend on how they are being brought up by their parents as because a child will learnt according to their experiences faced in their lives. The qualities may be present to some extent in every son and daughter but some qualities are inherited from parents as well. The qualities that a son or a daughter should posses are able understanding, love and caring, obedience, respectful, patience, and honesty.
    However, to elaborate a good child should listen to their parents always as parents are trying their best to help us and protect us in any situation which might get us in trouble. Their mean no harm to us. As they love us to much. As a good child we need to have the loving and care not only to our parents and siblings but people surrounding us. This will automatically will show who we are and how are we being brought up by our family.
    Moreover, respecting to our parent is to listen to their instruction. Someone said that every parent love their children, no matter what they want their children to do is always good thing. Since I was a child, I was taught to follow parent instruction. We do need to listen to our parents in any way. Never talk back and rudely to our parents as a grown up; they are more sensitive than us. Other than that because their raise us with love and they want the best for us. Never lie to our parents, we need to tell the truth, when we intent to lie, we will make another lie to close the first lie. We need to be honest when our parents ask “where are you going to”? Because their care about us. Knowing where are we going it’s a relieve for them.
    In an academic performance, we do try hard to get good result to make our parents proud as every parent want the best for their child. But if the child got good result but if their attitude is bad, it is no used as we will hurt our parents feeling especially our mother.
    As to sum it up, we should realize before it’s too late, that all the parents need a helping hand especially in their old age they expect love care and affection from their children and we should stand by them at all the times fulfilling all their needs. These are the qualities of a good daughter and son.

  21. Question 11.

    Like their ancestors, all parents always expect good qualities from their children. Parents expect their children behave with decency and respect for elders. But it is the parent’s responsibility to provide their children an explanation to judge what is good and what is bad. By the parent’s support and advises, a son or daughter can develop an important personality characters that every parent would be proud of. In my opinion, the most important qualities of being a good son or daughter would be having respect for elders, obedience and loyalty and love and affection towards their parents. These qualities have not changed. But parents do not always get what they expect.

    The most important quality of being a good son is giving respect to parents and other elderly people. Since ancient times, this has been the primary factor of developing a harmonious relationship between parents and children. It is extremely important for parents to establish and teach their children to respect older generation. Children with veneration can achieve important foundation for building a good character. But today as people are introduced more and more to non-traditional ways of doing things this quality may not endure. Children think that their parents are old fashioned and could not appreciate the way the life really is. Eventually they are losing respect towards them. It is not that the quality has changed, but the thinking of children of being respectful has been changed.

    Parents obviously expect their children to obey them and loyal to them, regardless of age. But, today children obey parents until they attain college age and there after they think they have grown enough to take their own decisions, even against parent’s wishes. Children also need to be loyal towards their parents. When a dispute is expected for their parents with neighbourhood or other community parents expects their children to side with their own family. Most children support their families against many.

    Besides, children should have love and affection for their parents to develop a close and harmonious relationship. Children idolize their parents and acquire behaviour from them. It is believed that the most of the spoiled children had gone through parents with no social and ethical values. They develop bad behaviour, lose interest to learn at college and eventually develop bad personality. If parents create a positive environment of love and affection, children definitely would develop as good persons.

    To conclude, the important qualities of children have remained. The parents will feel happy if the children respect for elders, obedience and loyalty and love and affection. The reasons are that the good qualities have not changed, the qualities are educationally proper and the children having the qualities make the parents relieved. The qualities will not also change in the future.

  22. ESSAY 11

    Our world has changed rapidly but there are some things that haven’t changed at all. That are the qualities of good son or daughter and respect for parents, integrity and ability to maintain family’s traditions are among them.

    There are a lot of cultures all over the world where the respect to parents is a necessary part of life. Such feeling is especially strong in Asian countries like Japan or China, but I believe that everyone should hold in respect his parents, because of their age and experience. Blaming our parents we blame ourselves. It’s absolutely necessary to care for the parents in their old age and it’s also a kind of respect.

    The important qualities of a good son or daughter depend from unbringing, which was given by parents. In this essay I will name some of them and show how the time have changed it in the next arguments.

    At the first, There is no doubt that every good parent devote to his daughter or son almost all his life, thus this gives imprint on upbringing of children. On the on my mind, the important qualities of a good son or daughter always remember that we have not right to choose the parents, and we have to respect them soever the parents no were own.

    At the second, every good daughter and son have to possess good qualities such as understanding, esteem, attentiveness, sensitivity, reliability, love as to parents as well to society. Because the son or daughter have to be the man in the first place, and no only treat to parents.

    Thirdly, the new generation treat with indifferense to their parents in spite of parent's love to them. They disregard parent's request and sometimes refuse them in help, that will bring destruction in relationship between children and parents.

    I guess that integrity is universal virtue that is necessary for everyone. The person who is honest with his parents in the childhood probably will be the honest adult. A child telling the truth gives the possibility for parents to correct his behavior and therefore future. For example, if a child had been getting bad marks in school and told about it to parents they would give him advice how to increase grades, help him with the homework or even hire the private teacher.

    Finally, the good son or daughter should keep the family and parents’ traditions because they form the unique household spirit and improve the mood amongst relatives. The habits of people change during the time. Our habits don’t completely coincide with the parents’ ones but every family has its own small holiday or everything else that goes from generation to generation. In my family, for example it’s very common to play in table games together and my parents are very pleased doing that.I believe that a good son or daughter should simply be good person in general. But there is a set of qualities that hasn’t change during the history at all.

    The qualities of a good son and daughter—obedience, loyalty, respect—have not changed. Any patent will tell you that, like their ancestors, they expect these qualities from their children. However, they do not always get what they expect from their children.Parents hope their son is so strong and brave that they would be supported and protected in their ages because man is easily able to earn living supply, such as food, clothes, house and so on, or make money to buy them. The daughter is expected being of tender and gentle so that she would get married a good man, that means she would have a good fortune and her parents would not be worried because she does not make a living herself.
    As a good son or daughter, one of the most important qualities is he or she has to be obedient and submissive everything for their parent. For example, he or she would marry with a person who would be satisfied by their parents rather than loved by themself. However, in modern society, no matter son or daughter, the best quality is that they are positive, motivating, responsible facing their life. Parents hope their son or daughter capable of do everything independently and wisely referring to their suggestion.Parents demand that their sons and daughters, regardless of age, obey them. Even if the children are married and have their own children, they should still do whatever their parents ask of them. At last, thats the way it was. Now, children tend to obey their parents until the children are of college age. Then they feel they are adult enough and can make their own decisions even if these decisions are against the parents wishes.
    Parents also expect loyalty from their children. If there was a dispute in the neighborhood or between families, the parents would expect their children to side with their own family. This quality is probably still very common. Most children today will support their family against others.
    Parents, of course, demand respect. As people become more mobile, and introduced to non-traditional ways of doing things, this quality may not endure. Parents are sometimes viewed as old-fashioned. Children dont think their parents can appreciate the way life really is. They think their parents are too old to understand. They lose respect for their parents.
    Obedience, loyalty, and respect are virtues that are being challenged today. We may not obey our parents, give them the loyalty or respect they wish or deserve, but I hope my children obey me, are loyal to me, and respect me.

  24. Parents are the people that willing to sacrificed almost whole their lives for the children. Having the qualities and good son and daughter is dream for every each parent in this world. In my view, the most important of qualities of a good son and daughter is respectful and love the parents more than everything. Parents are the first people that we seen since birth, they also the one that teach us a lot about meaning of life, without the parent there is no meaning of life. As a good son and daughter, we should pay full of respect to the parents, even we can’t pay the parents sacrificed at least we pay some respect to them is more than enough as a good daughter and son. Others, the son and daughter should show the full of love and caring to the parents. The parents love is the most precious thing in children life, as a good daughter and son they must gives the love and caring to the parents.
    The changes of people life in terms of modern technology also same goes to the changes of the children behaviour today towards their parents. In my opinion, the qualities good daughter and son nowadays is not remained as usual. The change of children minded is now more influenced to the negative issued. The children more spend almost their time with their work and friend than parents. The increases number of the nursing home and old folk home is show the children don’t even bother about their parents. The value of respectful also has changed today in children life. The parents today can’t make a decision for their children, as example the married decision for the daughter is not easy as the previously time. The daughter today rather to made their own decision than follow the parents decision, if they don’t get what they want they will runway from the house.
    In conclusion, the parents are the most important people in our life. The children should respect and gives the parents with full of loves. These all the valued is not remained as previous time. The children should not disrespectful toward the parents.

  25. 11. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter ? Have these qualities changed or remined the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    In malaysia got many culture like Chinese,Indian,Malay and Baba Nyonya that being heard many in Malaysia, and they all keep maintaining their culture even though the mellineum have been changed and take place, the modern era have develop, but they still keep on maintain all this from dissapears by the modern. I agreed that this culture never dissapears like that only, but they also keep on by generity their culture by do something that related to their culture, overall the culture that in Malaysia is look same because they maintain the same way ,attitudes, and also disciplines to their generations.
    In this culture in malaysia, we all still maintain the same that old generation use , it same like in everywhere we see peoples still shaking hand when we see the relatives and friends when gethering togehter, it is shows that peoples still maintain that old generation use. It not only that but they also still respects others when visiting each other no matters with what occassion that times requires, and we that been told by our parents that we need to respect the eldest also.
    In home also we still called our parents mom and dad, brother and sister, and not calling them by their names, because its sound so rude to calling their name like thats, because of that we have been teach from begining of child to call our parents mom and dad, it sound much better, and in this family all need to respect each other no fighting, shouting each others by calling with other names. In families we have been teach by our families that we must forgive and forget that everything that involve between mom and that also in siblings too.
    Good daughter and son must always being proud of their parents, and they have been teach the good and bad thing about life, as we can see they all still respect their parents advised without an objection and rude to them, help their parents when need something no matter what the problems. That make proud to their famalies. If the use this characters like this at home their also do it to others that shows the characteristic of the culture. with this of culture that been teach we can make Malaysia proud to have comminity that shows good culture to the public also make the names of Malaysian proud.
    Not only that the culture in Malaysia shows the way they are by reresent in their prestigges day like Malay( Hari Raya Aidil Fitri), Chinese ( Chinese New Year) and Indian (Happy Deepavali). Like Happy Deepavali, when we visiting their places their accept our invitation and coming to their places with happy face, then respect us as guests never leave a moment without words, shaking hand and still respect our culture to respect the eldest, by the way they also same like others culture maintain the same way in living respect each others.
    If this qualities that teach by our parents or our grandmother and grandfathers to us never being practise, we all like others like in overseas that same without an culture never practise it, examples it shows that they also get son and daughters that never lesson advise from their parents and rude to their parents by shouted to them, beat them, and also sent them to the old folks. This shows that if dont have an culture or someone to feed up the good qualities that been showed like this way. It important to maintain the culture no matter where we are, so next generation can be followed too.
    with that I hope with the culture that we have and the culture that we practise from generation will be maintain to the next generation and never dissapears like that, it also shows the way we are as good examples to others. Hope the qualities of good son and daughters will always been use no matter what the culture are, as long they keep the good qualities of life.

  26. QUESTION: What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changes or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    ANSWER:
    There's something special about the parent-child relationship. Your parents have been there all your life and now you want to show them how much they mean to you. You know that sometimes you forget so now you want to make an effort to be a good daughter, one your parents can be proud to call their own.
    Want to be a good son or daughter? That example can explain how to be a good son or daughter. Take the time to help your parents. Do little things for them. Help around the house. They've done things for you all your life. Now it's time to give back and help them.
    Listen to what they say. They've always been telling you how to do things. Make sure you take the time to really hear what they suggest. They have your best interest at heart. You don't have to take all their advice, but you can make better decisions if you listen to what they are telling you.
    Be compassionate. Be someone they can come to in a crisis. Offer your understanding. They have helped you since you were a baby. Now it's time to return the favour. Help them when they're feeling tired or ill.
    Visit just for the sake of seeing them. You don't want to show up just when you need something. Show them you care by seeing them. Be a good daughter and take the time to sit and talk with your parents.
    Bring the grandchildren. Grandparents love spending time with your kids; so don't get too busy to bring them over to visit. You want your parents and your child to build a good relationship.
    Offer to have family gatherings at your house. Parents often have all the traditional holiday celebrations at their home and they often invite all of their extended family. Take the load off of their shoulders and have the gatherings at your own home. Your parents can enjoy the festivities without having to do all the work.
    Be the family negotiator. Keep the family talking? Help stop the fights and disagreements. Clear up all the misunderstandings. Families are made up of many different people so sometimes they see things differently. You can be a good daughter and help keep everyone communicating. That is the sum of example how to be good son or daughter. We must follow the good attitude to be a good child.

  28. Both sons and daughter are a blessing for the parents. It is a fact that the strongest and the most sincere love exists in the relation of the parents and their children. No child is born well or bad, it is the qualities he adopts with the passage of time that make him stand good or bad. A good son or a good daughter would be obedient to his parents. It is a religious obligation, a social norm and an indication of refined behaviours and a peaceful family set up for the children to be obedient to their parents.
    In my opinion there are always good qualities of your children, no matter if it is a son or daughter. First of all, having a son or a daughter is a blessing from above! Every parent who has children will agree with me, therefore as a parent you always see a lot of potential and good qualities in a son or in a daughter. It is very important to understand that a child always brings along some good qualities, no matter what may other people say.
    As a young boy the good child shows his gratitude to his parents by different ways. First, by showing obedience to them, knowing that they are older and wiser than him and working for his best, he must do whatever they ask him to do. Second, he must make them feel proud of him, which can be done by many ways, like by making good progress in school, or by doing volunteer work to help the community. Third, he must help his parents in their daily duties, for example, I do clean the garden of our house every weekend to help my father, and I do take the laundry regularly to assist my mother.

    As a youth and a man, the good son shows his respect and gratitude by many ways too. After his marriage he keeps visiting his parents regularly, he shows them how much he cares by taking his children and visits the parents bringing them a nice gift. When the son gets old, his parents get old too, so he must take them to the doctor whever they feel sick, he must stay with them until they are fully recovered. The old parents may feel isolated from the society, so he must take them out to the open air, like for a walk in the park so they feel refreshed and maintain a high spirit.

    The qualities of a good son or daughter remained the same over time in my culture, though the responsibilities of a good son to his parents changed over the course of his life. As a young boy, he shows respect by helping his parents. While as an youth or a man he helps them by showing care and visiting them, and by taking them to the doctor whenever they are sick. I think these good qualities will remain the same forever, as the technology and the scientific development will not change the relation between the parents and their children.

  29. In the era modernization, many son or daughter are like more to social in certain cases. Actually it is because the high technology in the global are influence inside the teenagers. I believe that the blood is considered to follow the peer that they are always beside you when they have the problem and actually they can share many things. Yet, the good qualities of a good son or daughter can educate from their parents. Since child, our parents must educate their son as soon as possible until they are growing up and become a good daughter.

    Respecting the eldest is the one example characteristic that our son should have as a good qualities of a good son. For example, when they are talking to eldest people that should not speech loudly and they respect especially when they have a discussion. Other than that, when the eldest people are sit and talking, we must join us to respect them. Beside that, when we pass in front the eldest people we must hump backed as a sign of respect. As we know, since child our parents have taught and guide their son about the characteristics of a good son.

    Furthermore, forgiveness is the other good characteristics as a good son. For example, for a Muslim since the child our parents have done teach about forgiveness in our life. Beside that, at school we have learnt about religion education either in secondary or primary school. With that education, we had learnt a lot of religion culture in Malaysia. Other than that, if the person or friends had do some mistake actually we do not early angry but we needs to forgive her because this characteristic as a symbol of culture.

    In addition, obey the instruction of parents. For example, if the parents do not let you go out at night you duly obey their directive.Actually, most of parents wants to guard you from negative things when you meet the peer groups. Because of this scenario, the son must obey all the instruction that their parents need them as a good son or daughter.

    In a nutshell, the three characteristic such as respecting the eldest people, forgiveness person and obey the instruction of parents are the example good qualities as a son and daughter.Moreover,as we know each parents wants their son or daughter to be a good person because they wants their good generation for the next generation in their relationship of family. Now, no wonder our parents are essential to create the good qualities of the son or daughter.

  30. Since birth of the child, parents try to fulfill every need of their children and for which they sometimes have to faces many problems, but they just do it because they have to see the smile on their child face and when the children grow up, if they don't understand the struggle of their parents and don't respect them, they will hurt their parents and to be a good child should respect their parents.

    There are many characters that we expect to be a good son or daughter, some of that are they must have respect to elderly, have discipline, moral responsibility, helping nature, able to show love and affection to family member's and intelligent in solve any problems.

    Firstly, every parent wants their child should achieve their best in life and they will guide their children accordingly. A good child should never be disobedient or rude to them. A child should never think that his parent is trying to make him follow their decision but rather he should understand about their feelings and respect that.

    Beside that, children also must have a good discipline because they always bring their family’s image. People will judge somebody through their attitude and it shows our discipline. If the children always behave themselves, their parent will feel proud with them and it will remained our culture as the Asian country that always take the culture as the important things.
    Rather than that, today every individual should be taught about the responsibilities, because nowadays, people are thinking about themselves and there families and leaving out external world .Day by day individuals are becoming selfish. This attitude should never happen to the children that want to be a son or daughter because its can make negative aspect to other people.
    At the same time, other character is always helping. It is important character because its can born a good generation that always think about other people. Culture in our country always maintains this character and hope it can be continuously to other generation.

    In the nutshell, everything has changed rapidly but there are some things that haven’t changed at all. That are the qualities of good son or daughter and respect for parents, integrity and ability to maintain family’s traditions are among them. I hope these qualities can remain our culture.

    As a good children or son, we need to love and take a good care to our parents. As a son we need to care our parents although they on bad condition or situation. To get the qualities son, we need to respect our parents and care them because they care our self from the youngest until adult. Nowadays, many children or son did not respect their parents. Many children did not care their parents and also send them to nursing home. As we can see nowadays, many children did not respect their parents. They only think about the life and concentrate to get the money and to be a rich person but did not care their parents.
    Nowadays, who can wash their parents if their parents pass a motion? And how many children can sleep with their parents if they in bad condition such as had a stroke? I think not many can do that. Parents only want to their children success in the future. They only want their children be a good person in the future. But many children will never remain to their parents if they already successful. They only think that their parents only their burden with the life.
    On my understanding about our culture is we need to respect, care and love with our parents. I think all culture believe that we need to respect with our parents because if they did not respect they will get the punishment from the God. To get the qualities of children or son, we need to care our parents so that God will give you a better life in the future.
    Other qualities of a good son or daughter is we need to hear our family about what they says and care them as they care our self when we children. An earlier period, we can hear about the parents will schedule about our life such as with who we married and they will decide about what we will be in the future. For an example, in my family my grandfather wants my aunty to be a nurse so that they able to care my grandfather if anything happen and she already becomes a nurse now.
    As the conclusion, we need to care our parents and respect with love to them so that we able to be a success in the future. For the Muslim, they need to respect their parents because the heaven for the sun is in the mother foot. So we need to respect our mother although they in bad condition.

  32. What is the best thing that all the parents in this world hope for? Beside have a good quality of life, I am sure that all of them will dream of having good quality of son and daughter.
    All of the parent may sacrifice everything to their children. They will spend a lot of money to make sure that their children will get the best for their future. As a son or daughter, all of us must appreciate whatever or parents to for us. Compare to now, not all the son or daughter has good qualities to their parents.
    Now on, many of the children do not want to live with their parent in one house. Why this is happen? It is because for them after become an adult, the want to live with their own style. Some of them also move out from their parent’s house after married especially daughter. They have to follow their husband and start a new life together.
    From my opinion, what the entire son and the daughter do is not wrong as long as they not forget about their responsibility towards their parent. Some of us may need to work in other place that far away from parent and it need us to move out from the parent house. As a son or daughter, we must remember that a parent is everything to us. Without them, we may not here. What we have to do is if we have a time, why not we come home and visit them .It will show that we are still remember them and still can spend our time with them.
    Beside that, a good son and daughter also must have the good characteristic like respect to other person and also always be polite to other surrounding them. It is because with this entire characteristic is show that their parent is well concern about their children. A good quality of son and daughter must start with a good quality of parent. If some parent able to educate their children, I am sure that their children also may be able to become a good parent also in the future.

  33. The qualities of a good son or daughters have remained the same in our culture. Parents expect the children to study hard, help their parents and be well-mannered. The kids meeting the qualities are estimated to be pretty good children. I will write the reasons in the following sentences.

    First, the ideal children for the parents will not change even if generation changes. When people guess what the ideal children are, they will come up with the children having the qualities above. The thinking has not changed in our culture for decades. Rather, it must not be changed even if time goes on. Everybody knows the qualities above are excellent. Nobody can denounce them. Suppose that adults deny the qualities, it means that the qualities of the adults are lower.

    Second, every quality above is pretty useful after children grow up to adults. Parents know they are inevitable for the society of adults. They want the children to be that kind of adults. Basically speaking, the aim of education is to make children good adults. Without the qualities, the children will be evil adults.
    Parents always expect from their children love, respect and help. I think these qualities remain unchanged. However, at old times parents expected from their daughter to be a good and practical woman because in this case she can marry a good and perspective man. Nowadays, I think parents’ expectations from their daughter have changed. Now a woman has the same rights and opportunities to make a great career, make money and be successful at equal terms with a man. It means that now parents are not so worried about a future perspective husband. They know that their daughter can take care of herself and be happy. Nowadays parents teach their daughter to believe in herself, be motivated and strong. They want to be proud of her.
    Finally, parents do not have to worry about the children when they have the qualities I mentioned. If their children study hard, what the parents worry about? Also, if they help the parents so much, why the parents worry? The parents easily raise their children compared to the ones not having the qualities. The burden of raising children is less for the parents. It is natural that parents want the children to have the qualities above.

    To conclude, the important qualities of children have remained. The parents will feel happy if the children study hard, help them and behave properly. The reasons are that the good qualities have not changed, the qualities are educationally proper and the children having the qualities make the parents relieved. The qualities will not also change in the future.

  34. Quality of son or daughter

    Child is a part of family and also awards from the Gods. Relationship between parents and their children are very unique. Every parent wants their son or daughter has a good qualities and also good behaviour especially in our culture. In my opinion the main qualities of a good child lay in the relationship between the parents and their child and in its self-dependence. In the following paragraphs I will mention some reasons as to why I believe this and how the expectations of the parents to their children have developed over time.

    At first I would like to say that the relation between parents and children are very important at this issue. I believe this because the parents usually spend a lot of energy and money to support their children and to give them the opportunity to find their own way. That is a manner that the children should appreciate, which they should show through their behaviour to their parents. Comparing to ancient times the qualities of a good child have not changed a lot. It was always important to show the parents respect and to become independent.
    On the other hands, son or daughter must have a good behaviour such as respect. For the examples, the children must to respect their parents even though they are very busy in working. The children also need accept advices from parents or another person so that they can be the difference that a good thing or bad. Another good quality of a good son or daughter is loyal and also obedient.
    However, maybe in the aspect of the role of a good daughter the point of view changed. In former time a good daughter had to be a good wife and a good mother to make her parents proud. Moreover, she had enough time to cook for her family and to take care of her children. Today this changed, it is not anymore expected by all parents that their daughter has a family. It gets more and more important that she has her own job and is financial independent of her husband, if she had one. Furthermore children are not anymore in the picture of a good daughter.
    In my conclusion, the most important qualities are and were a good relationship between child and parents and the independence of the child. But looking on the role of the women, the expectations for a good daughter have changed. Nowadays, it is more important for a woman to be able to look after herself than to have a family for being a good daughter.

  35. What are the good qualities of a good son or a daughter? As a parent, we always want our children to maintain our ethic and mannerism. Other than that, every culture has own advantages to us such as in Malay culture, Chinese culture and Indian culture. All of the cultures are very useful for us if we are following it. Some of the culture can give a lesson and benefit for us. For the new generation, it is too difficult for them to follow the culture. But, it will be easy if we teach them from the early of age. As a parent, we must teach our children to be a good son or daughter.
    In the positive aspect, we can see that respect to the eldest are remained the same. The children still called their parent as a mom and dad. Besides that, it is the best qualities that our children should have to show their respect to the parent. The children are still use the way of shake hand while meet the other person or the older person. It will show their courtesy in the way of communication. Other than that, the children must speak politely and not to raise a voice while conversation. For example, if the children meet the older people they must greet them and show some respect. So that, the older people will respect them as long as the children are respect to them. Respect can be classification in many ways such as if the parent are talking, as a children we are not allowed to interrupt their conversation. Yet, it will call a rude.
    The other qualities that our children should have are when they were walking in front of the older; they must bend their body to show their respect. In Malay culture, we are still practice this type of culture. As we know, every culture has a characteristic and speciality. We must proud to be a Malaysian because they are many type of culture that we have in our country. When “Hari Raya Aidilfitri” is coming, the children will ask for forgiveness from their parent for their entire mistake. For Chinese culture, the children are giving “ang pow” to their parent and other people are not married such as a child. It will show that the qualities are still remained the same over the time.
    Nowadays, many of the children are forget about respect to the eldest. We must take a serious about this situation because it will damage the ethics. As a parent, we must take an action to maintain good qualities in our new generation. The new generation need guidance from us in order to has born a glorious generation. We must plan a strategy to maintain a good quality of our children. Moreover, parent is the best role model for the children. As what we can say that whatever the parents do in their action, the children will see and follow their character because children absorb the learning like a sponge. Yet, we must give an encouragement and advice the children to follow the culture until they are adult.
    As a conclusion, there are no reasons for us to forget the good culture in our daily life. We must use the way of good culture and try to apply it as a part of our life. If we want good qualities from our children, we must always remind our self to maintain the ethics and mannerism that we should show to our children.

Yet, the good qualities of a good son or daughter can educate from their parents. Since child, our parents must educate their son as soon as possible until they are growing up and become a good daughter.
    Respecting the eldest is the one example characteristic that our son should have as a good qualities of a good son. For example, when they are talking to eldest people that should not speech loudly and they respect especially when they have a discussion. Other than that, when the eldest people are sit and talking, we must join us to respect them. Beside that, when we pass in front the eldest people we must hump backed as a sign of respect. As we know, since child our parents have taught and guide their son about the characteristics of a good son.
    Furthermore, forgiveness is the other good characteristics as a good son. For example, for a Muslim since the child our parents have done teach about forgiveness in our life. Beside that, at school we have learnt about religion education either in secondary or primary school. With that education, we had learnt a lot of religion culture in Malaysia.

The important qualities of good son or daughter are respect and care. They are primary qualities that parents expected from their son or daughter. These qualities that would be remain for ever in all the cultures.
    A good child must help their parents in their need time. Parent has done a lot for bringing up of their children, but when they need help of any manner such as financial or at time of illness, parent expect their children should be with them and support them. It is responsibilities of a child to support their parents at the time of need. A good child have listen them and should never be rude to them. In my opinion, to be a good son or daughter, you should be respectful, affectionate and considerate to your parents. Every parent wants their child should achieve their best in life and for this they guide their children accordingly.
    The fist thing is to be respectful to your parents. One of the lessons that parents give to their children is to respect the elders. To be a good child you should not talk to your parents loudly. A good son or daughter should be quite and listen to them. Whatever they say is for the betterment of their child. Actually, to be a good son or daughter completely needs more qualities and those qualities are even different countries. I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy, and by doing that, they are becoming good son or daughter.
    Parent wants their children should respect them. They give their best effort to grown them up. Since birth of the child, parents try to fulfill every need of their children and for which they sometimes have to faces many problems, but they just do it because they have to see the smile on their child face, and when the child grow up, if they don’t understand the struggle of their parent and don’t respect them, they will hurt their parents. Good child should respect their parent.
    Finally, good child must be treating from their birth. Parent must teach their child how to respect other since childhood. A good son or daughter processes the qualities like respect and care. I also respect some qualities when I would be the parent. These are the essential qualities of the good son or daughter.

  40. QUESTION 11
    Like their ancestors, all parents always expect good qualities from their children. The most important qualities, which are required for a good son or daughter, are obedience, respect and consideration. A good son or daughter is often a considerate person who always respects, loves and listens to his or her parents, brothers and sisters, and who tries his or her best to achieve success in studying or working. The qualities of a good son or daughters have remained the same in our culture. Parents expect the children to study hard, help their parents and be well-mannered. The kids meeting the qualities are estimated to be pretty good children. I will write the reasons in the following sentences
    Parents give birth to us, so we must respect and listen to them. As people become mobile, and children are introduced to non-traditional ways of doing things while their parents are sometimes viewed as old-fashioned. Children do not think their parents can appreciate the way life really is and think their parents are too old to understand. So they lose respect for their parents and a person cannot be a good son or daughter if he or she loses respect for the parents. Besides, in most people’s view, adults are more experienced in life than children, so they must be right. Thus, children should obey them because it not only brings advantages but it is also the way to show the respect to adults.
    The important qualities of a good son or daughter are respect, obedience and care. These are the primary qualities that parents expected from their son or daughter. These qualities that would be remain forever in all the cultures. In my view, all the parents expect respect from their children. If children respect their parents’ means they would be able to get respect from their children. From my point of view parents are gods and they introduced this beautiful world to us. So children should respect them, if you respect your parents means they are able to get the respect from remaining your family members and society.
    Parents always wish their children have a better life and they try their best to bring the best things for their children. Therefore, achieving great success in life is another way for us to prove we are a good son or daughter. This is also a tradition in my culture, expressed in a saying: ‘in a good family, children must be better than parents’; it shows that the family has developed and thus attains the respect of society.

    To conclude, the important qualities of children have remained. The parents will feel happy if the children study hard, help them and behave properly. The reasons are that the good qualities have not changed, the qualities are educationally proper and the children having the qualities make the parents relieved. The qualities will not also change in the future.

  41. Nowadays, qualities of a good son and daughter have changed over time in our culture. To compare between long time a go and today, there is so many different between the two phases of time. Children now become more disrespectful, rude and not practicing harmony Asian culture.

    When communicate with the elderly, children may not address to the eldest. They treat the eldest just like their friends. Respect to the eldest slowly dying off. Children tend to raise their voice when angry or disagree with the eldest opinion. They also didn’t follow the advice from the eldest. They think that the eldest like the frog under the shell who didn’t follow the trend. They didn’t know how to socialize with the elder. They also may not use suitable attire when visiting the elderly.

    Asian culture is rich with harmony practice such as shaking hands, visiting one another and exchange foods. Nowadays, it is no longer practice in our daily life. Too sad that they also didn’t know who are their neighbors. Relationship between a family also become more far as the family member practice individual and didn’t care about the other family member. They also like to hangout with their friends rather than spend time with the family. If parents ask them to join and visit uncle or aunty, they will give too many excuses. If relative comes to their homes, they will not take the chances to get more closure with the relatives. They more like to be in the room or hangout with friends.

    Children also become more ego and selfish. It is so difficult for them to ask for forgiveness even they are wrong. They never think that their attitude will hurt somebody’s feeling. They never show their maturity. As an example, they didn’t stooping when across in front of the elderly. They also may interrupt conversation between the elderly.

    Even son or daughter, the quality of them had been ruined over the time. They no longer respect the elderly and more used to socialize and spend time with friends rather than spend time with family or relatives. We need to realize and take action to re-correct this practice to ensure that our life is rich with good culture and able to build good new generation.

  42. 11. What are the good qualities of good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Children are sponges and soak up information in such an important way. Rather than preaching to child, teach them behaviourally. This means that instead of ranting and raving with words, use affection and let them use their bodies as a means of understanding the world. Using appropriate behaviours and modelling techniques will teach the child to behave the way that we expect them to. The qualities of a good son or a good daughter remained the same throughout history and their responsibilities towards their parents change by their age.
    When asked about the important qualities of a good son or daughter, people have all kind of views concerning it. From the topic, the important qualities of a good son or daughter consist of listening to the right advice from parents, taking care of parents when growing up and respecting them. As a child, we must be friend to our parent. It’s not mean we doesn’t respect our parents. This can make a family can understand each other and our generation know how to respect their parents and people who are older even if it’s quite old fashion.
    While growing up, a son and daughter were completely different. As parents, must give unconditional love, nurture and teach them by modeling their behavior. Children who doesn’t like disappointing their parents or who consistently try to achieve and excel in their lives are important qualities. That being excited about being on their own when the time comes is also a good quality, because it says they are developing in a normal, healthy manner; also, that their parents have taught them well and they are ready to be on their own. Depending on the ages, qualities of children are hard to characterize, because it comes full circle over the years.
    As a daughter and son, we must appreciate our parents. In other words is we must reply what that they done to us, from child until we growth up. We must look after parents when they become elders. They care of us from birth until growth up. When they become elders, usually they become weaker and need a health care. We must provide a health care to them. Bring them to do a check up depends on their condition. Even though we had a lot of work and busy with our own lives, we must not to forget our parents. We must always visit or call them. Don’t lets them feel lonely because they very sensitive people.
    As a conclusion, the good qualities of good son or daughter will be remain same over in our culture, as a technology and scientific development will not change the relation between the parents and their children. A daughter and son can’t be changed with the development of the society because they are the fundamental qualities for a good son or daughter.

  43. Question 11: What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    The important qualities of a good son or daughter are respect, obedience and care. These are the primary qualities that parents expected from their son or daughter. All the parents want their children to be a good person. So that qualities must have to make them a good and better person in a future.
    In my view, all the parents expect respect from their children'. If children respect their parents’ means they would be able to get respect from their children. From my point of view parents are gods and they introduced this beautiful world to us. So children should respect them, if you respect your parents means they are able to get the respect from remaining your family members and society. Like we always heard that what comes around goes around. Means when u treat your family nicely, your child also will treat you nicely.
    Next, parents also expect obedience from their children. Obeying to the parent’s words would be the respecting to their age and experience. Some parents think that their children obey their words all the time and even after their marriage also. In this case good son or daughter handle the situation easily without hurting their parents and loved ones. When the age was increased, parents will depend on their child. So they want their child obey to them.
    Finally, all the parents want a helping hand in their old age. Good son or daughter feels that would be their responsibility to caring the parents in their hard times. In an old age parents would desires love and affection from their children. As a good son or daughter we should full fill all their needs.
    In summary, a good son or daughter possesses the qualities like respect, obedience and care. I would also expect same qualities when I would be the parent. These are the essential qualities of the good son or daughter.

  44. The good qualities of good son or daugther

    Relationship between parents and their children is very special and unique. Naturally, sentiment, care and love develop in the children’s heart toward their parents. But to be a good son or daughter, there are something he or she needs to have. In my idea, respect, being sentimental, and industrious are the most important qualities to make parents happy and feel well. I‘ll give here some of my supportive arguments.
    Firstly, respect is the prerequisite quality of any son or daughter. I think they should and must be respectful to their parents who gave birth to them and brought them up. This is true in every case. However our parents are, they are the ones who we should pay the most respect and gratefulness to. In my country and in other Asia countries, this is even the first and only quality to consider whether he is a good person or not. And I think, nowadays, it is the same in every part of the world. We can’t see a person who treats his parents badly a good son or a good person. People like that can’t treat their parents well because they don’ respect their parents, whereas respect is the roof of fine and dutiful behavior of human beings.
    Secondly, Being sentimental is the next important quality. Like other kind of relation, sentiment between parents and children need to be looked after, and being sentimental is the most effective and essential means to transfer how and how much the children respect their parents. The more sentimental the children are, the happier their parents are, because the latter feel that the children who they love wholeheartedly understand and can share sadness and happiness with them. This is more necessary when the parents get older, when they retire from work, having little work to do and less friends to talk with. They feel lonely and their children themselves, by expressing their fine feeling will make parents happy.
    Thirdly, industriousness. Maybe you are wondering why this is also a required quality. Simply, it is seen obviously that all almost parents have to work hard to bring up their children. So, you can imagine how happy they are if their children can help them in their ability. Children can’t do many things but there are not few things they can’t do for their parents. In fact, in our lessons about morality in my primary school, there is a story about a son silently help his father to earn money and how moved the father is when he found how hard his son was. That is just a lesson, but practically, children can do the housework, look after parents. Moreover, this quality is necessary because to be a good son or daughter, we may have to look after when our parents are ill or get old, and this is a work requiring industriousness
    Actually, to be a good son or daughter completely needs more qualities and those qualities are even different in different countries, but the above are the most important and necessary things, and are the roof for other qualities. With respect, industriousness and sense of sentimental, I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy. And by doing that, they are becoming good sons or daughters.

  45. Question 11
    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    Is it possible for people to care for their parents more or less depending on culture? This is difficult question that I have been asking myself for a period of time now. So far I have not been able to find the correct answer, but I have been able to determine some of the differences between the ways children act towards their parents. Many of this change has to do with the fact that culture plays an important role in the way children are raised, and in the way they behave later in life. Children should have many qualities; however, in the eyes of our parents no matter how we may act, they will always love us unconditionally.
    When we compare children raised in different countries we realize that they are so different in the way they care for their family. Hispanic people for example, have a different way of teaching their children. Respect for all the adults is mandatory; you will not hear a kid telling a teacher you are stupid. This does not happen in our culture, because we know that when we get home we will be severely punished.
    However, here in North America to hear a kid calling his/her parents stupid sounds normal. Latin people don't have all the commodities, and parents have to work hard to provide for their children. When their children become man and woman, they are the ones who care for their old parents. They are not likely to put them in a senior home. So why do Hispanic people care more for their parents? Maybe because of the poor conditions in which we were brought up, and they way we were taught to appreciate what we've got.
    What makes a son or daughter a good child has to do with the way they act towards their parents. In my opinion, a good son will always respect his parents regardless of the situation. He will never raise his voice to them, or be disrespectful. We owe our lives to our parents; therefore, it is only fare to give them back the same amount of love, care, and the respect they have given us. Most of our parents have worked really hard to give us all that we need. They keep two or three jobs to provide us with the life style we want. So that we can go to the best schools, and get a good education.
    Mother is just one person, she cannot be replaced with anyone else, she is the one who carried us in her womb for 9 months, and spent all those sleepless nights taking care of us. Giving unconditional love, and showing us all the things we can accomplish, supporting us through the toughest times of our lives.
    In conclusion, children should have many important qualities, but love for their parents, and appreciation for the things they have done for us is the most important one. Providing our parents with the same care they gave us. Not because we are married, and have formed our own family it means that we have to forget about them. Family is very important in every person. In my eyes my son would be a good son if he shows me respect, love, and appreciates all my efforts. Showing your love is crucial to our parents. However actions speak louder than words.

  46. QUESTION 11

    I think that qualities of a good son and daughter almost have not changed for the past several centuries. However, I believe that some qualities have changed. I will give the following reasons to support my answer. Parents always expect from their children love, respect and help. I think these qualities remain unchanged. However, at old times parents expected from their daughter to be a good and practical woman because in this case she can marry a good and perspective man.  Nowadays, I think parents’ expectations from their daughter have changed. Now a woman has the same rights and opportunities to  make a great career, make money and be successful at equal terms with a man. It means that now parents are not so worried about a future perspective husband. They know that their daughter can take care of herself and be happy. Nowadays parents teach their daughter to believe in herself, be motivated and strong. They want to be proud of her. As for a son, I think expectations remain the same. Parents see their son as a clever, motivated and successful man.
    To sum up, parents wish their children be more successful then themselves, achieve more goals. So, they with great patience pass down their knowledge and experience to their children. They teach them only good things and expect respect and love in return. Also, parents try to teach their children how to avoid mistakes they have made in their lives. I think the main quality of a good son or daughter is to make their parents proud.The qualities of a good son or daughter remained the same over time in my culture, though the responsibilities of a good son to his parents changed over the course of his life. As a young boy, he shows respect by helping his parents. While as an youth or a man he helps them by showing care and visiting them, and by taking them to the doctor whenever they are sick. I think these good qualities will remain the same forever, as the technology and the scientific development will not change the relation between the parents and their children.

  47. QUESTION 11
    There are things that never change. I think a good son or daughter will always mean the same thing no matter which part of the world you take in consideration. A good son/daughter ought to bear respect for parents, should make parents proud of him/her and should support them as much as he/she can.

    First of all, a child ought to be respectful as parents are doing everything they can so their child to be healthy, well educated, well dressed, in one word happy. Also, I think their sacrifice as much parents are neglecting themselves in the child own interest deserves admiration and respect. For example, in my country very often parents buy meat only for their child. They very often don't eat meat at the table. It is sad but true.

    Second of all, parents' greatest joy is to see their child in a good social position. They want for him/her all that they could not have and could not acquire. No doubt they are proud if their child gets a good grade at school or a good job that allows him/her to support himself/herself. Also parents are proud when their child has at its own turn a big family. They love nephews. They want their name to be proudly carried out further on. Besides, in most people’s view, adults are more experienced in life than children, so they must be right. Thus, children should obey them because it not only brings advantages but it is also the way to show the respect to adults.

    Finally, parents need help and support as they become elder and sicker. They can't take care of themselves properly and it comes the child's turn to take care of them. They want to get from their child the attention they deserve after a life dedicated to the happiness of the child. As we all know, that often fails to happen and it is not right.

    In the end, I think that until we become parents ourselves we can't fully understand our parents. But after that, you realize which your part in life is and you try to do your best so they can die in peace with the feeling of fulfilment in life.

  48. The qualities of good son or a daughter should have depends upon the nature of the parents. But every parents have some common expectations from their children. Such as respect from their children, best achievement in life and their children must make them proud.

    Parent wants that their children should respect them. They give their best effort to grown them up . Since birth of the child, parents try to fulfill every need of their children and for which they sometimes have to faces many problems, but they just do it because they have to see the smile on their child face. And when the child grow up, if they don't understand the struggle of their parents and don't respect them , they will hurt their parents. So good child should respect their parents.

    Every parents want that their child should achieve their best in life and for this they guide their children accordingly. A good child must always listen them and should never be disobedient or rude to them. A child should never think that his parents is trying to make him follow their decision but rather he should understand about their feelings and respect that.

    A good child must help their parents in their need time. Parents has done a lot for bringing up of their children. But when they need help of any manner such as financial or at time of illness, their expect their children should be with them and support them. So It is the responsibilities of a child to support their parents at the time of need.

    Apart from this, one common expectation every parents have from their children that, their children make them proud with his achievements and behavior in the society. And thus they teach good things to their children. A good child must keep that teaching in mind and never perform the things in the life which make their parent disrespectful in the society.

    All in all, a good child should respect their parents, support and help them in their need time and always make their parents proud on him.

  49. In my opinion the main qualities of a good child lay in the relationship between the parents and their child and in its self-dependence. In the following paragraphs I will mention some reasons as to why I believe this and how the expectations of the parents to their children have developed over time.

    At first I would like to say that the relation between parents and children are very important at this issue. I believe this because the parents usually spend a lot of energy and money to support their children and to give them the opportunity to find their own way. That is a manner that the children should appreciate, which they should show through their behaviour to their parents.

    Another property a good child should have is the ability to look after itself. This should be fulfilled in the financial as well as in the social way. Thus the children are independent from their parents. Furthermore the parents don’t have to worry about their child.

    Comparing to ancient times the qualities of a good child have not changed a lot. It was always important to show the parents respect and to become independent. However, maybe in the aspect of the role of a good daughter the point of view changed. In former time a good daughter had to be a good wife and a good mother to make her parents proud. Moreover, she had enough time to cook for her family and to take care of her children. Today this changed, it is not anymore expected by all parents that their daughter has a family. It gets more and more important that she has her own job and is financial independent of her husband, if she had one. Furthermore children are not anymore in the picture of a good daughter.

    In conclusion, in my opinion the main properties of a good child have not changed a lot. The most important qualities are and were a good relationship between child and parents and the independence of the child. But looking on the role of the women, the expectations for a good daughter have changed. Nowadays, it is more important for a woman to be able to look after herself than to have a family for being a good daughter.

  50. One day, we will be a parent. Of course we as a parent expect good son or daughter. For me, if the children respect their parents, this is means that the parents able to get in build a good child. As a son or daughter, we have to respect our parents because without them we are zero in this world. The qualities of a good son or daughter have remained the same in our culture but it slowly dying off.
    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? In this world, all parents expect the children to study hard, help their parents and be well-mannered. So this can build respect to their parents. The most important quality is that we should respect our parents. It was our parents who brought us into the world and brought us up. They provided all of our needs to us such as food and clothes, and send us to school in order to make us to be a better person. At the same time, we must listen for parent’s advice and obey the entire parent’s instruction.
    The qualities of a good son or daughter are slowly dying off. Why I say like that because many of the son or daughter send their parent to the old fork home. This proved by the increasing of the old fork home in our country. This happened because many of son or daughter nowadays are very busy with work and take the easy way to take care of their parents by sending them to the old fork home. Maybe they visit their parent only during the hari raya celebration or never visit them after leave them at the old fork home.
    Some of the son or daughter tends to increase their voice when angry. It happened because of lack respect to their parents. Nowadays, many of us called the eldest sibling by the name. For example, no more sister or brother just called the name of their sibling.
    As a conclusion, the good qualities of a good son and daughter must be remained in order to make a good family. We also expect the same qualities when we would be the parent. Respect, obey, care and loving, these are the essential qualities of the good son or daughter.

  51. When we were born, our parent is the happiest person in the world. They are busy prepared things to welcome us even though we are still in the womb. They waited us for 9 months. It is not a short waiting especially if we are their first child. They will be excited and cannot wait patiently.
    There are some good qualities that can be practice to repay back what our parents had done for us. First of all, we must obey their instructions. What they ask us is for our own good and we must not question back. For example, if they ask to study, just go study. It is for our own good and future. Parents want us to become a better man in the future.
    Another good quality is we must respect our parents. They have gone through difficulties to raise us and we as their child, shall not be disrespectful. We must respect by the way we communicate with them, our body language and also the way we treat them. They are not animals that we can yell at and they are not our servant that we can order easily.
    A good son or daughter also must fulfil all parents’ wishes. A good child will not let their parents to be sad and will try very best to make them happy. They are also will not let their parents’ tears even once. For example, if the parent asks the child to stay with them, the child shall not say ‘no’ and just fulfil the request. Sometimes, the parents felt lonely after all their child have grown up and feel that their children will leave them.
    All of these good qualities somehow have changed over time. Only a few still practice these good qualities and most of them do not care their own parents anymore. Children, whenever their parents are old, they tend to send them to the old folks home. Cruel isn’t it? But it is the reality that happens nowadays. Busy with work, does not have time are the lame excuses they give to the parents that wants their attention and love. Many people did not realise that they actually abandoned their parents.
    Therefore, we as children must try our very best to not abandon our parents because without them, we are not able to breathe the air, feel the breezes and see the world.

  53. Q11
    Even our societies changed dramatically, yet the qualities of a good sun or a good daughter remained the same throughout history. A young boy or girl, a youth, or an old man or woman the qualities of a good son or daughter are the same, though their responsibilities towards their parents change by their age.

    As a young boy the good child shows his gratitude to his parents by different ways. First, by showing obedience to them, knowing that they are older and wiser than him and working for his best, he must do whatever they ask him to do. Second, he must make them feel proud of him, which can be done by many ways, like by making good progress in school, or by doing volunteer work to help the community. Third, he must help his parents in their daily duties, for example, I do clean the garden of our house every weekend to help my father, and I do take the laundry regularly to assist my mother.

    As a youth and a man, the good son shows his respect and gratitude by many ways too. After his marriage he keeps visiting his parents regularly, he shows them how much he cares by taking his children and visits the parents bringing them a nice gift. When the son gets old, his parents get old too, so he must take them to the doctor whoever they feel sick, he must stay with them until they are fully recovered. The old parents may feel isolated from the society, so he must take them out to the open air, like for a walk in the park so they feel refreshed and maintain a high spirit.

    The qualities of a good son or daughter remained the same over time in my culture, though the responsibilities of a good son to his parents changed over the course of his life. As a young boy, he shows respect by helping his parents. While as a youth or a man he helps them by showing care and visiting them, and by taking them to the doctor whenever they are sick. I think these good qualities will remain the same forever, as the technology and the scientific development will not change the relation between the parents and their children.

  56. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    Qualification for be a good son or daughter have several characteristic and universal. These qualities remained over in culture until now. Parent usually have different expectation of their children and determines child as good or bad. From beginning parent will induce good value to their child and be a good model for them to follow the attitude until adult and can think positive or negative in surrounding. Time goes by but not all need to change wherever millennium years.
    Furthermore work hard one of the significant that show many people work for it. Therefore, when children grow up they should care for their parent as reward. Their try to give good accommodation to parent and themselves to have better lifestyle. Although the family ethic changes and most young people choose to work in big cities living parents in their home town, they still care for their parents in other ways such as sending money back to parents or hiring nurses.
    Another quality used to judge a good son or daughter in the past should be the obedience of the parents. At that time, a virtuous young must follow his parents’ decision in his education, career planning and even marriage. My understanding about this phenomenon is that in traditional society, what is emphasized was the group value rather than individual value. Parents, as the leader of the family group, would make decision on behalf of the group. Young people, the obedience of the parents would benefit the whole family and at the same time is the conformity of social order. However, in today’s society, the situation is different. Parents no longer exert too much influence on their children instead they encourage them to chase their dream. To them, a good son or daughter should be the one who develop well both in his or her career and personality in some extent, the success of their children actually indicates the success of the parents.
    Beside that respectful still in there because play a part of role in relationship between parent and family. Harmony created by the respect each other from surrounding than strong bonding can feel deep inside. In other hand, respect them practically done even though life is changes in better ways.

  57. Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents. They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our lives and that is why I believe every child should have several positive qualities such as respect, being sentimental and care of our parents are the most important qualities to make parents happy and feel well.
    The first and the most important qualities that sons or daughters should have is respect. Respect is a very broad term when people use it. This vital quality is so important because it shows regard or admiration of something or someone. Personally, I feel this characteristic is a way of showing to our parent that we are actually think highly of them. On top of that, every races and religion in my country taught the same thing which is how important it is to respect the elderly. So, it obvious that the qualities should be have by each and every daughters regardless of what races it is.

    The next thing is about being sentimental or being concern about what our parents feel. This characteristics is a continuation of the root qualities that I have mentioned before which is respect. It is because, being sentimental is the most effective and essential means to transfer how and how much the children respect their parents. The more sentimental the children are, the happier their parents are. Parents with sentimental children will feel that their daughters or sons are actually understood their emotions and this could lead to a very strong relationship between family members. This is more necessary when the parents get older, when they retire from work, having little work to do and less friends to talk with. They feel lonely and their children themselves, by expressing their fine feeling will make parents happy.
    The last thing is we should care for our parents when we grow up. Nowadays we have already attended the university, usually far away from parents. So we should keep in touch with them by telephone, letter and e-mail, not making them feel lonely. We may talk about their life at home, such as their work and their health. In fact every time when I give a call to my parents, I may feel that they are very happy because of the telephone. The reason is that not only can the get the information about me, but also they know that their son concerns himself with his parents.
    To sum up, respecting the parents, being sentimental and caring for parents are the most important for everyone. What is more, they can’t be changed with the development of the society because they are the fundamental qualities for a good son or daughter.

    Even the time had changed the good qualities of sons and daughters still remains the same in my culture. The tradition is changed over the time due to environment and situation, but the culture is still there with community.
    For example, culture of and Muslim is to asking forgiveness among people during ‘Hari Raya’ festival. This responsible between the people to forgive and forget all the mistakes and live in harmony. The culture still been practised by the people until today. That shows us some culture is not lost by the time.

    Besides that, exchange foods or goods among neighbour also still been practise by people. The culture of sharing things still been used in the communities which normally close to each others. They don’t have the feeling of scared and paranoid to the neighbour. This culture teaches us about relationship between the neighbour and relatives. This shows us how people still concern about their environment and communities that been thought by the older people years ago.

    Visiting each other especially the eldest during festival also still been used in this modern society. We have learnt from childhood that we need to respect the eldest. Not only visiting the parents, but also visit the relatives and friends as well.

    In additional, in my culture we have to address our eldest with the specific names according the title in the family. Yes, it is still been utilized until today. People still respect the eldest. The good qualities in the youngster that been thought still develop and remain among the youngster.

    In conclusion, the culture that been bury in our communities still remain in the youngster. It is still been practised even the time changed.

  59. From beginning and starting of our life, there are certain things that never change. The qualities of a good son or daughter are same no matter which country we come from. In my opinion, to be a good son or daughter, you should be respectful, loyal and considerate to your parents.

    First, must be respectful to our parents. Basic lessons that parents give to their children is to respect the elders. To be a good son or daughter, we should not talk loudly or yell to our parents. Most important, do not ever argue with them, even if they are wrong, just be quite. Some children show some disrespect in this case towards their parents, but a good son or daughter should be quite and listen to them. Whatever they say is for the betterment of their child.

    Second, every parent wishes to see their children successful in their lives. So it is our responsibility to be carrier focused and achieve a good position in society to make them proud. Our parents face a lot of hardships in their lives to give better food, clothes as well as education to their children. They sacrifice their happiness to get the happiness of their children. It is observed that some youngsters waste a lot of money of their parents in useless things and astray from the right path. Whereas good children value the sacrifices of their parents, work hard in life and become successful persons. This is what makes parents happy and they feel proud when other people admire their children.

    Last but not least, when your parents get older they need your attention. Parents in old age need more love and attention than before from the children. Most of them do not need money of their children; what they need is their attention. Some children and adults consider their parents old fashioned and do not like to spend time with them which is not good. To be a good son or daughter, we must give some time to our parents. They must remember one day they will reach the same age and they may be neglected in the same way by their children.

    In conclusion, parents are a precious gift of God, same like us, children are a precious gift from God to the parent. We should be respectful, loving and caring towards our parents. Be a successful person in life and make our parents feel proud because having successful children.

  60. A relationship between parents and children will never ends. Parents are the person who gives the first care from very beginning in our life. The blood bone will continuously tight together till the end of our life. Therefore in maintaining a good relationship between both parents and children, the children should really have a good manner towards their parents. There are many qualities should be practise by children in the way to behave and make their parents happy.

    One of the most important qualities is respectful. A child should really learn how to respect their parents. Since we are grow older so there the parents. When people get older it becomes more sensitive if we hurt their feelings. So to maintain a good relationship children should really respect their parents. For example, in showing respect, a child should behave while communicate with their parents. They should talk in polite and soft spoken. Don’t ever shout to your parents it will show that you have no respect towards them. It also might hurt their feelings. Imagine if you are in their place where your own child shouts at you, how do you feel then? It hurts right?

    Another thing is to be a helpful child. Always offer yourself to help parents in doing housework such as keep the house clean, cooking, and gardening. For sure your parents will feel happy to have such a helpful child. They will feel that their burden is reducing. Then they will love you more because you know how to appreciate all their hard work to give you a comfort life since you are a small kid. Even a small work that you done can make them feels happy. They know that they had give their children a good lesson to be a good person.

    Last but not least is care for your parents when they get older. Treat them like they treated you since you were a baby. Fill full all their needed moreover when they don’t have enough effort to take care of themselves or when they are sick. Nowadays there are a lot of children who sent their parents to the Old Forks Home. It will make their parents hurt because they been thrown from their children life. That is how the child treated their parents after all their hard work in raise their child. Therefore a child should care for their parents until the end of their life. Give their comfort as they giving you when you grow up.

    In conclusion, a child should have good behaviour to their parents to keep them happy and maintain a good relationship together. Respectful, helpful and showing care and concern are some of the important qualities that must be practice by a son or daughter towards their parents.

  62. When asked about the important qualities of a good son or daughter, people have all kind of views concerning it. From my point of view, the important qualities of a good son or daughter consist of listening to the right advice from parents, taking care of parents when growing up and respecting
    As a good child shows we can show gratitude to the parents by different ways. First, by showing obedience to them, knowing that they are older and working for the best, he must do whatever they ask him to do. Secondly, we must make them feel proud, which can be done by many ways, like by making good progress in school, or by doing volunteer work to help the community. Third, we must help his parents in their daily duties, for example, clean the garden of the house every weekend, and do take the laundry regularly to assist mother. All of this can be done in order to be a good daughter or son.
    Nowadays, we have already attended the university, usually far away from parents. So we should keep in touch with them by telephone, letter and e-mail, not making them feel lonely. We may talk about their life at home, such as their work and their health. In fact every time when I give a call to my parents, I may feel that they are very happy because of the telephone. The reason is that not only can the get the information about me, but also they know that their son concerns himself with his parents.
    Other than that, a good son or daughter should have many merits. From my point of view, respecting the parents and caring for them are the most important for everyone. What’s more, they can’t be changed with the development of the society because they are the fundamental qualities for a good son or daughter. To them, a good son or daughter should be the one who develop well both in his or her career and personality in some extent, the success of their children actually indicates the success of the parents.

  63. Good qualities of a good son and daughter formed from a few categories. It is physically good, mentally good or both of it. It is included the way he or she speak to others, the way of acting, their respond to the current situation, the way they make up their mind or the way they tackle the situation or condition.

    Some of these qualities had been changed and some of it still remains the same over time in my culture. Good qualities of son or daughter are includes respect to their parents, soft spoken child, never disobey to their parents and also respect to others elder person such as neighbour and other family members. The influencing factors of remaining these good qualities are actually starts from home. This is because a child learns how to act and behave from their role model in home which is comes from their mom and dad.

    At home, if the parent show bad examples such as rude speaking and behave and also not shows respect to others, the child also will grow up with that bad attitude. It will remain inside that child’s personalities and she or he will not respect their parents also. In this case, parenting skills are most important and the patient levels also need to be higher during growing a child.

    Beside that, surrounding factors also play its own part to create a child’s personalities and qualities. If a child is growing in an unmerciful family, that child will become more stubborn and disobey their parent’s order. Compared to a child who had been growth in a peaceful and happy family, this child will be easier to conduct and to understand. Surrounding factors also included of peer members attraction. Peer members are one of the most important parts. If the members are the one who always been rude to his or her parent, it will infect to the group and learn to pronouns the rude words.

    As conclusion, good examples since childhood play a huge part in ensuring these good qualities remain in our community.

  64. 11. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remain same over time in the culture.

    Nowadays we seem to know that many children or teenagers are being disrespectful to their parents. This is very different with teenagers in the past living. This kind of children is being less and it must be avoided. To be a good qualities of son or daughter are such as they must have discipline, moral, responsibility ,helping nature, good understanding nature, must have respect to elderly ,must be able to appreciate other's help, able to show love and affection to friend’s, family member's ,must be optimistic, intelligent, and must be a good listener.

    It is so important to being in good behaviour and maintains it. For example, If we come across an accident on road, and if see that, then it’s your responsibility to call 911 and let them know. Every individual should be taught about the responsibilities, because nowadays, people are thinking about themselves and there families and leaving out external world .Day by day individuals are becoming selfish. It is parent’s responsibility to teach them how to help others. In many countries like India, parents teach them how to respect elderly, but in this modern era young adults are thinking about themselves. If the adults continue to behave in the same way, then there is no meaning for help and support. So that, every individual should respect the mankind and should behave in a good way.

    However, there are things that never change. I think a good son or daughter will always mean the same thing no matter which part of the world take in consideration. A good son or daughter taught to bear respect for parents should make parents proud of him or her and should support them as much as he or she can.

    First of all, a child taught to be respectful as parents are doing everything they can so their child to be healthy well educated, well dressed, in one word happy. Also, I think their sacrifice as much parents are neglecting themselves in the child own interest deserves admiration and respect. When they can respect to their own parents, then automatically they will respect to others too..

    Finally, parents need help and support as they become elder and sicker. They can't take care of themselves properly and it comes the child's turn to take care of them. They want to get from their child the attention they deserve after a life dedicated to the happiness of the child. As we all know, that often fails to happen and it is not right.

    In the end, I think that until we become parents ourselves we can't fully understand our parents. But after that, you realize which your part in life is and you try to do your best so they can die in peace with the feeling of fulfillment in life. So it is very important to being a good son or daughters especially to our own parents.

    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    Good qualities of a good son or daughter can be value or we can see from their parent. The parents who are kind in person which have sense of human like respect others, help each other and responsible when do work, we can see their daughter and son who have a good behaviour rather than parent who are not have that type of behaviour.

    Nowadays, in a Malaysia, we still got the good qualities of son or daughter. These qualities are remained the same over time in many other culture in Malaysia. In the Malay culture for the example, we still remained the shaking hands went meeting others people especially between the oldest. It is to show respect to the other people. Otherwise, in the Malay family, we still call our parents by special call like ‘abah, mak , papa, mama’ it is meaning that the parent is more important person in our family. They are more than friends. That way we still remained the special call for them. And still many of people who are call their sibling with ‘abang long, abang ngah, kak uda, kak chik’ and others. This is can show the stronger in our relationship. For me, these qualities of good son and daughter must be remained till the end.

    The good behaviour must we keep to promote to becoming son and daughter in the future. If the parent takes it easy, the good can be changed to a bad. It will give difficulty to them in the future. Otherwise, qualities of good son and daughter not just by shaking hand and call the family members with the special name but the son and daughter must have consent attitude to the parent. Such as, spent parent’s money on useless thing and have a certain people have raise the voice talking to their parents. They should not to misbehaviour to their parent who taking cares of them from young child.

    Finally, for me, these are depending of nature of the parent. This quality of son and daughter is significant to provide harmonies in family and also our country.

  68. Being a parent is one of the most fulfilling experiences a person can have. There is a natural instinct that seems to come to a new parent, but there are bits of advice that can help when you are challenged in the growing up years. The most important thing however, that any parent can give their child, is a sense of being loved and the most important thing that any parent can remember is that they don't have to be infallible to be a perfect parent. At times, being a parent can be difficult and challenging. This is why to raise a good child, parenting help is vital. Nonetheless, every parent should want to raise socially, responsible children who are productive in society.
    What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter?

    Be yourself. Well, if you don't know the real you, just act naturally, the self you are most laid back and comfortable in. Do as you would like to be done to you. Listen to people and make everyone feel good. Stay calm because if you yell a lot and are argumentative, people won't want to be around you.

    Be cool with your parents. Don't lie to them, and don't do any sneaky stuff, because they know what you're doing anyway, there's no way around it. Help them to build a wall of trust for you, but when you get it, don't let it fall down again! Do well in school. Listen to everything your teacher says, take notes, and even make little practice tests for you to practice your skills.

    Another quality used to judge a good son or daughter in the past should be the obedience of the parents. At that time, a virtuous young must follow his parents’ decision in his education, career planning and even marriage. My understanding about this phenomenon is that in traditional society, what is emphasized was the group value rather than individual value. Parents, as the leader of the family group, would make decision on behalf of the group. Therefore, to young people, the obedience of the parents would benefit the whole family and at the same time is the conformity of social order. However, in today’s society, the situation is different.

  69. There are things that never change. I think a good son or daughter will always mean the same thing no matter which part of the world you take in consideration. A good son/daughter ought to bear respect for parents, should make parents pround of him/her and should support them as much as he/she can.

    First of all, a child ought to be respectful as parents are doing everything they can so their child to be healthy, well educated, well dressed, in one word happy. Also, I think their sacrifice as much parents are neglecting themselves in the child own interest deserves admiration and respect. For example, in my country very often parents buy meat only for their child. They very often don't eat meat at the table. It is sad but true.

    Second of all, parents' greatest joy is to see their child in a good social position. They want for him/her all that they could not have and could not acquire. No doubt they are proud if their child gets a good grade at school or a good job that allows him/her to support himself/herself. Also parents are proud when their child has at its own turn a big family. They love nephews. They want their name to be proudly carried out further on.

    Finally, parents need help and support as they become elder and sicker. They can't take care of themselves properly and it comes the child's turn to take care of them. They want to get from their child the attention they deserve after a life dedicated to the happiness of the child. As we all know, that often fails to happen and it is not right.

    In the end, I think that untill we become parents ourselves we can't fully understand our parents. But after that, you realize which is your part in life and you try to do your best so they can die in peace with the feeling of fullfilment in life

  70. The qualities of good son or a daughter should have depends upon the nature of the parents. But every parents have some common expectations from their children. Such as respect from their children, best achievement in life and their children must make them proud.

    Parent wants that their children should respect them. They give their best effort to grown them up . Since birth of the child, parents try to fulfill every need of their children and for which they sometimes have to faces many problems, but they just do it because they have to see the smile on their child face. And when the child grow up, if they don't understand the struggle of their parents and don't respect them , they will hurt their parents. So good child should respect their parents.

    Every parents want that their child should achieve their best in life and for this they guide their children accordingly. A good child must always listen them and should never be disobedient or rude to them. A child should never think that his parents is trying to make him follow their decision but rather he should understand about their feelings and respect that.

    A good child must help their parents in their need time. Parents has done a lot for bringing up of their children. But when they need help of any manner such as financial or at time of illness, their expect their children should be with them and support them. So It is the responsibilities of a child to support their parents at the time of need.

    Apart from this, one common expectation every parents have from their children that, their children make them proud with his achievements and behavior in the society. And thus they teach good things to their children. A good child must keep that teaching in mind and never perform the things in the life which make their parent disrespectful in the society.

    All in all, a good child should respect their parents, support and help them in their need time and always make their parents proud on him.

  71. Parents have made every effort raising their children: they afford children food and shelter, paid for children’s education and help shaping children’s value. Therefore, when children grow up, they should care for their parents as a reward. In my opinion, caring for the parents represents not only a reward but also a virtue – an esteem of the effort of the last generation. During hundreds of years, this virtue remains unchanged no matter how drastically our society has reformed. In the past, family usually existed in the form of big family in which all the family members lived together. In the family, the parents were taken care of in precedence: their food and accommodation were usually the best. Today, although the family ethic changes and most young people choose to work in big cities living parents in their home town, they still care for their parents in other ways such as sending money back to parents or hiring nurses.

    Another quality used to judge a good son or daughter in the past should be the obedience of the parents. At that time, a virtuous young must follow his parents’ decision in his education, career planning and even marriage. My understanding about this phenomenon is that in traditional society, what is emphasized was the group value rather than individual value. Parents, as the leader of the family group, would make decision on behalf of the group. Therefore, to young people, the obedience of the parents would benefit the whole family and at the same time is the conformity of social order. However, in today’s society, the situation is different.
    On one hand, the individual value is gradually enhanced, on the other hand, parents’ suggestions become antique since the society is advancing too fast. Under such a circumstance, young people tend to pursue their own aim and make their own decision. Meanwhile, parents’ concept also changes. They no longer exert too much influence on their children; instead they encourage them to chase their dream. To them, a good son or daughter should be the one who develop well both in his or her career and personality; in some extent, the success of their children actually indicates the success of the parents.

    From the discussion above, we know that the qualities a good son or daughter should possess indeed have undergone some changes. Today, being a good son or daughter is much easier than in the past since many constraints have been removed.

  73. Question 11
    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    In my culture, good son or daughter should respect and gratitude to her/him parent? This traditional is still the normal practice in my society though time has been changed in many centuries. These kinds of qualities come from the nation religion, Malaysian that transfers from generation to generation, as a result of this; they can maintain these good qualities until now.

    Respecting to their parent is to listen to our parent’s instruction. Someone said that every parent love their children, no matter what they want their children to do is always good thing. Since I was a child, I was taught to follow parent instruction. If I did not believe what they asked to do, they will punish me.

    Giving gratitude to their parent is the most important concern in my country. Once we are adult and have our own earning, we should give our money to our parent and take care them. People will condemn son/daughter that does not take care their parent and praise to good people raised their parent. That is normally happening in my country.

    These two qualities have been passed from our ancestor and it is good traditional that every generation will sustain and transfer to next generation without change.

Son is a important part to continue our generation in the future and place for parents live with son when getting old or sick.

When our sons do something, people will always see the behavior our son, from that they will know care of parents to the child and teach them with good. We also must teach our child to choose friend when at school or anywhere we go because we do not know how they behave and attitude, we can friend but not to follow the bad attitude.
    For old time this culture is very important in family when have a son, they must taught their child how to behave. News about rude with parents is very rare at the long time, because parents very good take care of them. The old home also do not have many old people sent at there. Each action we do, the child will follow it, we must remember our child is our generation
    But for know we can see and read at papers every day has news about rude daughter to parents. At the television also always show the bad behavior of son, this happen because parents not teach their how to respect people and always busy with working.

  75. Essay no 11
    What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture.

    Relationship between parents and their children is very special and unique. Naturally, sentiment, care and love develop in the children’s heart toward their parents. But to be a good son or daughter, there is something he or she needs to have. In my idea, respects, being sentimental and industrious are the most important qualities to make parents happy and feel well. I will give here some of my supportive arguments.

    Firstly, respect is the quality of any son or daughter. I think they should and must be respectful to their parents who gave birth to them and brought them up. This is true in every case. However our parents are, they are the ones who we should pay the most respect and gratefulness to. We can’t see a person who treats his parents badly a good son or a good person.
    Secondly, being sentimental is the next important quality. More sentimental the children are the happier their parents are, and because the latter feel that the children who they love wholeheartedly understand and can share sadness’s and happiness’s with them. They feel lonely and their children themselves, by expressing their fine feeling will make parents happy.

    Maybe you are wondering why required quality industriousness. So, you can imagine how happy they are if their children can help them in their ability. In fact, in our lessons about morality in my primary school, there is a story about a son silently help his father to earn money and how moved the father is when he found how hard his son was. Moreover, this quality is necessary because to be a good son or daughter, we may have to look after when our parents are ill or get old, and this is a work requiring industriousness

    Actually, to be a good son or daughter completely needs more qualities and those qualities are even different in different countries, but the above are the most important and necessary things, and are the roof for other qualities. With respect, industriousness and sense of sentimental, I believe that children can do many good things to make their parents happy. Then by doing that, they are becoming good sons or daughters.

  76. The qualities of a good son and daughter—obedience, loyalty, respect—have not changed. Any patent will tell you that, like their ancestors, they expect these qualities from their children. However, they do not always get what they expect from their children.
    Parents demand that their sons and daughters, regardless of age, obey them. Even if the children are married and have their own children, they should still do whatever their parents ask of them. At last, that�s the way it was. Now, children tend to obey their parents until the children are of college age. Then they feel they are adult enough and can make their own decisions even if these decisions are against the parent�s wishes.

    Parents also expect loyalty from their children. If there was a dispute in the neighborhood or between families, the parents would expect their children to side with their own family. This quality is probably still very common. Most children today will support their family against others.

    Parents, of course, demand respect. As people become more mobile, and introduced to non-traditional ways of doing things, this quality may not endure. Parents are sometimes viewed as old-fashioned. Children don�t think their parents can appreciate the way life really is. They think their parents are too old to understand. They lose respect for their parents.

    Obedience, loyalty, and respect are virtues that are being challenged today. We may not obey our parents, give them the loyalty or respect they wish or deserve, but I hope my children obey me, are loyal to me, and respect me.

  77. Good child usually make their parents proud. In Malaysia, it is very important to practice the good manner among the family itself. It is depends on the parents on how to delicate a good son and daughter in their home. But, the qualities should be taken care of and parents responsibility to make their child having a positive attitude.
    The most important to every child is respect towards their parents or anyone that more elder. For example, when you are walk in front of the elder, you should bend your body down and it is usually practice in Malay culture. Besides, you have to talk politely with them. Do not shout at your parents and obey their advice. I think qualities are remained unchanged until now and every races in Malaysia do the same thing.
    Patience is important for your parents. Every time parents give some advice, follow their words and do not be a disobedient son or daughter. If your elder wants you to do some house work, just do and if you have any reason do tell them in proper manner. Other than that, being a good student also will make your parents be proud of you. Siblings also will follow a good example of your attitude.
    Being honest to your parents still practice and remained in every culture nowadays. If you feel to hang out with your friends, ask a permission first before getting out. This is to prevent them worry about your safety at outside. Then, you should not let your parents feel think bad about your activities.
    Other than that, a good son should be taken care of their parent welfare. For example, good qualities of children will not let their parents suffering in life. They will help them in provide the accommodation and gives a full support to the parents. Hence, their parents will be safe and great for the opportunities that had given to them.
    As a conclusion, every child should remained their manner and be respectful to the own parents. Besides, avoid yourself involve in those immoral act and bring harmful to the life.

  78. Today, not many children can be a good behave like what the parents wants. They craving some of the children can well manage and bring a good name for the family. Being a good child implies how we behave toward our parents and if we a good child, our parents will trust and our life will be much happier.

    In our culture, not many can remain those particular changes. Some of them have tarnished the good quality of a child. Firstly, we must be ourselves. Need to act naturally in front people and keep our family names clear. Example , if we have some friend that coming over our house , always bears in mind that we must take a good care of our behaviour.

    Secondly, always stay calm when ever the challenging comes through. It is a part of life and it will have until us dead. If we always yell a lot and keep argumentative on us people wont like it and perhaps can isolate us and people don’t want to be around. That the bad perception on us. And perhaps our parents also don’t like it. For example, always have some argument on simple kind thing.

    Thirdly, don’t ever use a bad language that will make other people get touching or something else. Otherwise, some people don’t think bad language is cool but it will make us look stupid. World become changing day by day but it not can change the perception other on us. Our cultures train us to be soft spoken and respect older since we small. For example, always use a nice word if want to have a help such as please and all sort that kind words.

    Fourthly, be honestly toward our parents. Don’t ever lie to them because this can make them feel hearted on what we doing. And most thing is, don’t ever to learn bad attitude from another person because they know us from small and they know what are we going to do or any changes in our self. This ways can help our parents to build up the feeling to have trusty in us as their children. Then if we success to have their trust, don’t ever let it fall.

    Lastly, do well in everything and makes them proud on our self. Sometimes this can do our parents have trust on us and keep in mind that we can do it even it hard. Always listen what lecturer said and don’t make other feel that we are not good.

    In conclusion, every parents want to have a good quality of child even they poor. But in culture, it has some of them are changed due to changing of era. If we wants this still remained as usual, lets teach our young generation the same learning of respect older people.

  79. Every parent will practice in their life to treat their child to be the good qualities towards others people. The good parent will practice the good example of the qualities in front of their children as a best example to them. Good qualities are the degree of the goodness and worth.
    There are many the good qualities of a good son or daughter. First, the good qualities of a good son or daughter are well behaved. This qualities should not be changed and it must be remained the same over time in my culture. Well behave is the attitude that our children can behave their selves in front of the other people. For example they know how to respect and treat people that they should have to. They know to whom they should be friend or enemies. Furthermore, they also should know the proper way to treat people and make sure them not burden others people for their own benefits.
    Secondly, the good qualities of a good son or daughter are obedient. Obedient is doing nothing what is told to do. This attitude is good but the obedient must at the right time and place. That is because if somebody is too obedient to do something that will more badly to their selves. Parent always will doing that something good for their child and give command that will save and care their child so if the child obey the command that command will bought them to doing something good for their self too and the what that is command is must be practice everyday so they can always well behave.
    Thirdly is pious or devout in religion. This attitude is good to have in every child that we have because the religion will teach and bring them to always in doing right things. If they trust with what they have believed to they will not doing something wrong that will make them suffer.
    To sum up, l always agree that these three of the good qualities of a good son or daughter is the most important to teach and make it practice everyday at home. These the good qualities of a good son or daughter will brought them to doing something good for them selves also.

  80. Question: 11
    Son and daughter, both have a same function in a family. A family is build from a love relationship among family members. A distance doesn’t to stopping them from meet each other. Either the number is different it’s not a measurement of family rules.
    Each of them had a different characteristic of attitude. Moreover a son will follow a father while a daughter is mother. A good quality of a good son is a second protection after father. A son will take over responsibilities to take care of their sibling’s.
    A good daughter will take care of pride. This is because of their parents will get the impacted if a daughter do a mistake while with herself or in public. So, care off self is most important without influenced with a bad social people. It’s better to stay at home with family. A good qualities of daughter is helping a mother while in busy or in ceremony or for cleaning the house. As we knew that there is a lot of housewife’s work to do, especially preparing a meal. A daughter will learnt all the skill from a mother during cooking as an advantage for her to learn new things.
    Furthermore, son and daughter had be teaches with an Asian moral value. Most of parents want their children to be manner while with older people or child, both in technique of communication, grooming, and walking. This will make them be proud and felt of dignity because they already successfully educated their children. Respectful people will encourage other’s people to respect them.
    While today, there are changes in our Asian culture. These because of parents are working by the maid to do all of mother’s work while a daughter had their own socialize. As a result, daughter was become lazy. She will depend on their maid to do the entire all houses keeping. It’s can give negative effect to our daughter. Parent’s must teach their daughter to do all the housekeeping even they had a maid. It does because of in future the daughter will have their own family; she must to know how to handle their house.
    An Asian culture will be learnt and applied in our generation with the same of precious’s quality by improving or changing in the present. For example the government sector can make a rule for the programming to the all the channel by including the Asian culture and moral valued. While that for the other channel that had breaking the rules must be avoided publishing to the public.

  81. What are the good qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


    Some of the good qualities of a good son or daughter is obedience, respect, love and care their parents. Some of these qualities are still remaining in my culture but some are also have changed. I myself would definitely follow the traditional ways of treating my parents as how my parents did to their parents. Always listen to their advice or suggestion and never raise voice towards them is one of the ways to respect our parents.


    As the world grew older, some of the good qualities of a good son or daughter have changed a little bit. In the past, son and daughter would have a life partner according to their parents’ choice. I am not saying that we don’t have the right to choose our life partner but some of the new generation is too ignorant to listen to their parents’ advices in choosing a suitable life partner. The reason why parents sometimes are against our decision is because they concern about our future and never want to see their son or daughter gets hurt in the future. Having discussions with our parents would be the best way before making any choices in our life because they are more experienced in life.


    We have also heard shocking news nowadays about son beating parents which have never happened before. This shows that the level of respect toward parents among the new generation is getting worse. The older generation would never had a gut to raise their voice toward their parents what more to beat them but nowadays are not the same anymore. Such drastic changes among the youth in the modern world are sometimes influenced by the negative factors such as drugs and gangster.


    Another quality of a good son and daughter that has changed over time is their sense of caring to their parents has never been the same anymore. They have lost the sense of responsibility to take care of their parents and rather send their parent to the charity houses. Have they forgotten all the years when their parents raise them since they were born? Didn’t they feel guilty about letting their parents living alone without any family member around? What would it feels if their son or daughter do the same to them in the future? They should feel grateful to have parents while some didn’t have the chance to see their parents since they were born.


    To conclude, many of the good qualities of a good son or daughter begin to lose over time. Modern generation should take this matter seriously if they wish to preserve the good qualities of a son or daughter in the future.
