American Families vs. Perúvian Families
In America, most families consist of a father, mother, and two kids. In Perú, however, families are much larger. Extended family members, such as grandparents and cousins, often live in the same household. Adults often live with family members in Perúvian culture. However, the practice of living with one´s parents during adulthood in America is often frowned upon. However, family is an important part of both cultures.
Family is important in both American and Perúvian cultures. Men are typically viewed as the breadwinners and the head of the household. The women of both families are portrayed as caregivers for the children. It is common interest in both cultures to put yourself before your family. Family is seen as essential in both the United States and Perú.
