The relationships between the Vo's family are respect to others and they have strong bond between the generations. Also, the values of the family are loyalty, willing to sacrifice for each other and respect the elders (parents/ grandparents) and older sibling. They also love each other.
The functions of this family are care, support and love each other. They also have the friendship and common background which links them together in the family. They are responsible to each other and take care of each other.
The gangs from each communities can offer what families can provide. The members of gangs usually don't have families as strong as the Vo's family and the people join the gangs to feel part of the group. They feel they are missing part of the family values, relationships and functions.
We feel that this similar to the chinese family.
