Life In The Grenadian Society
The patriarchal aspect of the traditional Grenadian society was evident. Well-defined gender roles existed. However, many Grenadian women today have degrees and jobs. They make up a large portion of the labor force. However, some customary tasks are still anticipated to be carried out by women. Whether they are employed or not, they are expected to take care of the home and the kids. However, working men typically don't help out around the house.
Grenada has a wide range of household sizes, from nuclear families in the congested city to big, extended rural families. Although the mother is the one who raises a child primarily, other family members and even the community are involved in their upbringing and actively teach them societal values and manners. In Grenada, inheritance is mostly patrilineal. Men are in charge of supporting their own families and inheriting their father's fortune.
Few who can afford the costs of a university degree have access to education beyond the primary level. To ensure that brilliant individuals from less privileged homes can continue their education, scholarships are awarded to them.
Grenadians have a strong sense of community. They enjoy gathering with friends and family to talk about the events of the day or family life. Grenadians make excellent guests. Visitors are greeted with food and beverages and given a place to rest.
