> I have a feeling that the non-American system is better because it fosters closer family ties, but that might just be because that's the system I'm familiar with.
Fostering closer family ties has good sides and bad sides.
Individuals from a toxic family background benefit from being able to keep their family at arm's length or farther, which isn't as acceptable in cultures that so strongly and universally emphasize family loyalty. Not all parents are good parents!
