Why are Anglo centric countries / families NOT family focused? Do they not understand that family is important or do they simply not care?

I'm French (a Mediterranean centric culture).
Like many other Mediterraneans we are very family focused. My grandmother lives with my uncle, my great-grandmother with a grandfather. My parents with my brother. It's not a money issue (grandfather was a wealthy business owner, my uncle & brother each make well over 100,000/year one as computer specialist & other as a ER doctor).

Many Mediterranean families are very family focused. If the parents are not living with the children then they are living close by so that the kids can routinely check on or help them. Again not a money issue - what when a friend owns a 1.5 million dollar security business.

Similarly other cultures - such as Arabic, Middle Eastern, E Asian & SE Asian - are family focused. Again not necessarily money issues. Two friends both make considerable incomes - one made 350,000 during COVID as a consultant & the other makes 250,000 a year. Both have their parents with them.

Even in their home countries if the parents are not living with the children like above the family is living close together so that the kids can check on and/or help their parents.

All of the above if children are in a different country than family/parents they'll often call on.

.

And then you get to Anglophones and they are running away from their blood relatives like they're diseased.

Children will move across the countryside and not even give their parents a call except on birthdays and Christmas.

I have seen SOOO many Anglo seniors struggling to make their way around town - even getting something as simple as groceries - with nobody helping them.

At the clinic I work at we've had Anglos drop off disabled relatives like a stray unwanted dog even if the person has suffered a severe stroke and can barely move -- their bastard children nowhere to be seen.

Really just Thier culture and how it changed!

Being online changed a lot of cultures and not for the better...

All cultures evolve and with the internet one person and influence the whole culture and push it.

So one or a few getting away and bragging about it might have made a few hundred feel the same and want to get free!

Also no idea about home like and growing up inside it. Might be depe hate for siblings and parents from old habits and traditions?

Some cuties have become trash and abuse the hospitality and helpfulness of others.
