I am from Kuwait, where family is very important. For us, the family is a place where each individual family member can find a support. Family members can ask the family for help if they need something. For example, they can ask for help to buy a car, start a (1) business, or celebrate an (2) important event such as a wedding. When someone is old or (3) sick, everybody helps him or her. For us, it is (4) surprising that people in other countries send their (5) elderly relatives to (6) nursing homes, making them the responsibility of strangers. We would (7) hate to do this. We think our family should (8) take care of us. Each individual supports the group, and the group supports each individual.
