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.
