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.
