Focus: The changing role of fathers

We have opened a page for robust debate among you. This page does not have a political stand and should be read in that spirit. We do not seek either to offend or to appease. We strive to present all points of view but expressed in a civil manner. Speak up and be heard on the week’s topics. This week, we are discussing the changing role of fathers and the following statements will be debated:

• Fathers today have lost the position of being the enforcers in a family.
• Children now view their fathers more as a friend than as an imposing figure.
• It has become easier for fathers to bring up their children the way they want to with the move from joint families to nuclear ones.
