In some areas of the world, multigenerational families have always lived together
in the same house. A multigenerational family is a family of different
generations, for example, grandparents, parents, and children. In the United
States, from 1940 through 2000, multigenerational living decreased. Americans
dreamed of growing up, leaving their family home, and having a home of their
own. Having one’s own home was a status symbol. It showed that a person was
independent and financially prosperous. Grandparents, too, seemed happy with
this arrangement. They saved enough money throughout their life to be able to
live independently through their retirement years and to pay for outside care if
they became ill.

Although people all over the world like to share jokes and laugh with each other, all cultures
have their own style of humor. What people find funny in one culture may not be
amusing in another culture. It is important to remember this when trying to tell a joke to
someone from another culture. Also, when you are visiting a different culture, don’t get
discouraged if you do not understand the humor. Jokes often involve very advanced or slang
language, and they also require a deep understanding of the culture. The deeper the
understanding you have of a culture, the better you will understand the humor.
