Through a historical research on two well-preserved vernacular Chinese dwellings: The Wang Family Courtyard in Shanxi and the Sam Tung Uk Walled Village in Hong Kong, this paper examines the cultural sustainability of architecture in China, and explores what factors have contributed to their success and decline, and what can be learned from their stories. In doing so, the article employs the analytical framework developed in the author’s previous works, that is, architectural form and space, and social and cultural dimensions of the cases. The findings reveal that ancestor worship was a common practice in the two families, hard work and traditional family values had resulted in their success. The abandonment of traditional values and schooling, coupled with social and military instability in the country, along with urban sprawl, destroyed the family unity and businesses, and ultimately caused the moving. The study has implications for the contemporary world beyond China.

The article discusses the values and attitudes in the field of family and marriage, common among the population of 17–49 years. The survey was conducted in 2020 in 10 regions of the Russian Federation, including the Republic of Bashkortostan. The institutions of marriage and the family, and the values on which they are based, have undergone significant changes in recent decades. Their transformations are interpreted as a departure from the so-called traditional attitudes and behaviours and the transition to modern modernization or postmodernization. It is concluded that the population of the Republic has, on average, more traditional family and marriage attitudes and values than the population of the Russian regions that participated in the study. They manifest themselves in the chosen scenarios of marriage, in its motivation, in the ideas of a happy family. It cannot be argued that this is happening at the expense of the rural population, that it is definitely more conservative than the urban population. Although many views of the villagers are more traditional (attitude to the marriage contract, same-sex marriage and some others). The opinion of urban residents on many issues is often polarized, they are clearly divided into supporters of traditional values and modern ones. The polarity of opinions may explain the presence among them of recent immigrants from the village, who have not fully accepted the new values for themselves. Older groups – 30–49 years old, 40–49 years old on some issues, as well as women – are distinguished by great traditionalism. Among representatives of the youngest group, 17–29 years old, who have already entered or will enter the age of active marriage in the next few years, traditionalism is noticeably reduced.

The consequence of contradictions are: a preference for youth unregistered forms of marriage; the perception of the fact of divorce as a norm of public life; the increasing statistics of children born out of wedlock and teenage mothers; the increase in age of marriage; young families experience financial difficulties and the need for socio – psychological support.

Purpose: to substantiate the role of family look in family upbringing of a child's personality based on traditional values. Methodology: an integrated approach was applied, questioning of parents, conversations with teachers, parents, children, methods of analysis and synthesis obtained. Style "family look" implies the presence of a unifying element in the image of the whole family. Family look emphasizes belonging to one family. Self-expression by family look is manifested through identical colors, similar patterns and common motifs in family members' prints. Options for "family look" are: 1) the same clothing in style, material; 2) a single style; 3) identical accessories; 4) a single color scale; 5) clothing for pets, dolls ect; 6) identical prints. Family look clothing can be not only for the holidays, but also for everyday look. The original style of "family look" stands out because it is a whole philosophy, where family, children and love are declared as the most important values. Results of the research: features of the “family look” style were analyzed. A parental survey was conducted to identify goals and priorities for choosing a family look clothing. Modern parents and teachers of preschool education have been found to be familiar with family look, which is a testament to the great popularity of style. Most surveyed identifi ed this style as the same clothing for parents and children. Only a small proportion of those  surveyed indicated that there were other signs of style, such as the same accessories. Psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of family values in the structure of the personality of the child due to the "family look" style have been determined.  Scientifi c novelty: the possibilities of "family look" style in the development of a child's personality have been identifi ed. Practical importance: baced on a creative source, author's models of women's, men's and children's clothes in the style of “family look” were created. The results of the study can be used by workers of the fashion-industry in the formation of the range of products of light industry, and also by parents in the family upbringing of children.

A Greek Family Values questionnaire along with the Greek-American Acculturation Scale was administered to 338 Greek-American subjects. Based on responses to the Greek-American Acculturation Scale, subjects were placed into Traditional and Acculturated groups. The 64 items of the Family Values Scale were factor analyzed and a scree analysis produced four interpretable factors. Subjects in both the Traditional and the Acculturated groups tended to agree with items comprising the factors' Traditional Values and Family Honor. The groups tended to differ on most items comprising the Hierarchical Family Values factor and on some items comprising the Parental Control factor. The Acculturated subjects tended to reject the constructs rooted in Greek family values more than the traditional subjects, while women tended to be more rejecting of the values than were men. Evidence presented here also suggests that the Greek-American Acculturation Scale has sufficient validity and reliability to be used by researchers as an accurate measure of Greek-American acculturation.

This article offers a glimpse into the mutually constructive process of the making of class, family, and state in a new material world. Relying on a decade of field research, I illustrate that a middle-class lifestyle in China, increasingly associated with a car, is deeply embedded in, and in turn reproduces, the multigenerational familial relationship contoured by state reproductive policies and the new political economy. Built upon the notions and practices of care and emotions, family values are at the core of the ethical conduct of being properly middle class. Yet, familial practices, unintentionally, resonate with the state agenda that seeks to reassert traditional values as a way to deal with an aging population and to establish its soft power on the global stage. The refocus on the family is not to deny the phenomenon of individualization, but rather to emphasize that it is merely part of the complex processes and assemblages in China’s own trajectory toward modernity.

Traditional Family Values

The article analyzes the the transformations that are taking place in modern Ukrainian society in relation to the family in the legal, ideological and, most of all, axiological discourse. It has been shown that, despite the rapid changes, Ukrainian youth, in general, retains traditional family values based on eternal, universal principles. It was first noted that the socio-psychological mechanism of the transformation, first of all, is determined by re-engagement in the value sphere. The influential tendencies of the postmodern world put forward on the highest level of values pyramid the unlimited personal freedom and satisfaction, in contradiction to the care of the other and concern for the corporate good. This changed in the family discourse was considered as a way for satisfying personal communication needs, providing material and sexual needs, and so on. In case of traditional values, which are based on the biblical values, care is taken about others, as family members or neighbors, thus teaching each other to care for the whole society. A traditional family usually involves long-term relationships that are formed on mutual love and care in the public space. The author observes that the return to the traditional family values, in which the personal freedom of one submits to the care of another, forms a relationship of love, trust and security. Thus, caring for everyone, which is a key family value, is an best way of improving the demographic and economic situation in our country.

This work presents the results of sociological research carried out by the staff of the Polish Research Laboratory for the Assessment of Attitudes and Values. Its title is “University Students on Family and Religion 2020.” Within the multi-stranded research applications, one thematic segment pertained to the relationships within the families of those surveyed, and another to the attitudes towards new methods of study forced on them by the pandemic and the subsequent didactic consequences. The work presents the present circumstances of the Polish family in face of the pandemic. It also presents the ongoing processes of modernisation both socially and culturally. Bearing in mind that in times of dynamic social change pro family values are under threat, and traditional values and standards which protect the family are questioned, some further studies in this field have been referred to. Results show that the pandemic can not only create the need for a slower pace of life, more focus on our nearest with whom we can spend time actively and creatively, but it can also force new patterns of university life. Such forced seclusion suits some while others miss university life. For some, remote learning turns out to be more effective than traditional methods. The completed research, and its results, represent the current diagnosis of the level of awareness of university students on the subject of family and university life. In the future it will answer the question whether conditions during the pandemic left a lasting, or a temporary, impression, affected by specific social and cultural trauma.

Laura Olson is one of a small but energetic and influential group of Christian political scientists determined to bring the debate politically legitimate called it either racist or sexist. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, African American pastors held the most consistently conservative views on family values, although they also saw the connections among crime, violence, and the deterioration of the family. Within the authorÕs intentionally limited scope, this is an excellent study, but one should be cautious about generalizing.

Model Family

According to the intergenerational solidarity model, family members who share similar values about family obligations should have a closer relationship and support each other more than families with a lower value consensus. The present study first describes similarities and differences between two family generations (mothers and daughters) with respect to their adherence to family values and, second, examines patterns of relations between intergenerational consensus on family values, affectual solidarity, and functional solidarity in a sample of 51 mother-daughter dyads comprising N = 102 participants from Luxembourgish and Portuguese immigrant families living in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Results showed a small generation gap in values of hierarchical gender roles, but an acculturation gap was found in Portuguese mother-daughter dyads regarding obligations toward the family. A higher mother-daughter value consensus was related to higher affectual solidarity of daughters toward their mothers but not vice versa. Whereas affection and value consensus both predicted support provided by daughters to their mothers, affection mediated the relationship between consensual solidarity and received maternal support. With regard to mothers, only affection predicted provided support for daughters, whereas mothers’ perception of received support from their daughters was predicted by value consensus and, in the case of Luxembourgish mothers, by affection toward daughters.
