Thus，many cultural differences exist in family structures and values. In some cultures，the family is the center of life and the main frame of reference for decisions. In other cultures，the individuals，not the family，is primary. In some cultures，the family's reputation and honor depend on each person's actions; in other cultures，individuals can act without permanently affecting the family life. Some cultures value old people，while other cultures look down on them.
