WV Theme... #34 ...individual<--->groupVALUING TRADITIONS & TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES
I believe that the rules and customs of any long-lived society deserve respect. This glue, shaped by challenges of untold demands, holds society together. While those guided by self interest may not like the limits on behavior that society imposes, accepting them is a responsible choice. (Note: Those who respect authority, law & order, and value the hard work / sacrifices of their ancestors will be comfortable with this theme. So will those who value the institution of marriage and traditional gender-based roles, according to which men, seen as tougher and more aggressive, are expected to financially support the family, while women, seen as more passive, gentle, and nurturing, are expected to care for the children and be homemakers.)
