Ever wonder how in many cultures the traditions are quite the same. For example, chinese culture and mexican culture want the family to always be together and do the best for themselves. On the other hand, in the American tradition the family are more independent. For instance, in their family once their children turn 18 they are adults and can do whatever they want with their lives. However, in the mexican and chinese tradition, children are not quite free to do anything even though they are 18. The reason I believe chinese parents and mexican parents do see them as adults is because they have a hard time to let go of their children and they worry that something bad might happen to them. Parents need to be able to believe in their children that they know what is best for them and to have faith in them as well. Sooner or later children are going to move on with their lives. But of course that does not mean that children are going to forget about their parents. In each culture parents are there to guide their children to have a great life, but in order to that they need to let go of them and let them find who they are and what they want in their lives. Nobody may get it perfect the first time, but there should be no reason why to give up easily. Each culture have in some way a similar aspect to each other.
