Family in Cambodia

Brainstorming:

- Traditional
- Family size: mostly nuclear family, it was once extended family
- Occupation: mostly business
- A lot of respects for the elders
- Housework for female members (although this trend has grually been changing)
- Men used to be the only breadwinners, now that more and more working parents can be seen
- Parents' intervention in children's study, e.g. deciding what major their children should do in college
- Children are expected to do well in school, at home and the community
- Huge gap between ideal culture and real culture
- A younger sister cannot get married until her older sister does
- Domestic violence is prevalent
