Elderly care

In my culture usually the son or the daughter take care of the old parents or someone from the same family, if both of the children were at work or out they recommend the charwoman to stay with the old parents and take care of them until the son or daughter come back from the work. Also, the wife of the son take care of the old parents because when she married the son the father of the son become her uncle and the mother become her aunt so there will be like her parents, and vice verse.


In my culture the government pays all dues for elderly people and they offer free medications, free medical beds and a nurse if necessary. That's all free from the government and if the family want anything for their old parents the government helps them immediately. In our culture we respect old people and we estimate them, because they founded the state and they are our ideal.


I think the government should pay for elderly people in the first place or they can cooperate with members from the same family. Equally between the government and the old parents family because the government can't offer for each family a full payment neither the family can.


There are a big differences between my country and UK in taking care and who pays for old people. In my country the family takes care of the old parents and the government arrange everything for the old people from medications until the psychological comfort. On the other hand, In the UK when the child reach 18 years old most of them move out to study in the university and some of them don't come back to see his/her old parents. Also, if the elderly people have a more than  23.500 Pounds in their account they should pay for the nursery monthly 3000 Pounds for their staying and treatment.  

Smacking Children

Is the U.K government correct to legislate against beating of children by parents ?

Yes they are, I think they should make a law to stop beating children by their parents. Because beating is not the way to teach or to make the child learn from his/her mistake also, beating will harm the child physically and psychologically.


Should the Welsh Assembly legislate against smacking ?

there is a different between beating and smacking, beating will harm children badly while smacking may make children cray and may not. Therefore, It's not necessary from Welsh Assembly to legislate against smacking.


How much do government rules depend on which society a person lives in ?

I think the rules depends on the society where a person lives in, if there a violent society were parents beat there children there must be a strict rules and if there a usual society where everything is normal the government reduce the rules in this area.

 Wich parts of the UK laws regarding physical punishment of children by parents do you agree with? why?

I don't agree with any physical punishment and I don't find it a good way to teach or to let the child learn from it. Because if the parent punish the child physically the child will not learn from what he/she did wrong it might give a negative influence on the child for example the child will be afraid from other people.
