The reason why I agree with you are because I can relate to the traditions your parent's have with the traditions my parents have. Parents traditions due reflect on my values. My parents have also taught me that family is the most important thing we have in this world. My family will always be there for me and they will be my family no matter what. That is good to be proud, but my family doesn't only teach us kids to have pride.
Parents have their regulations and strict ways of raising there kids, especially the girls.
I have always been against the fact that mostly all parents from different ethnic backgrounds have such strict regulations for women. Not only are the parents strict with children, but the whole family as well. For example the older brothers and sisters may have some authority over the younger children. I have a 13 year-old brother that I treat like a son. I am not strict with him for pleasure.
