WHY DO PEOPLE IN YOUR COUNTRY TRADITIONALLY WANT TO HAVE A SON

33. Why do people in your country traditionally want to have a son? ( 5 - 8 )

Thats an interesting question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly

mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that fathers all over the world want

someone to carry their name into the future. For example, in many western countries it

is customary for a boy to receive his grandfathers name. A second reason that I could

mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them after they had retired.

They feel that when they have a son he would be able to provide for them in future.
