Family and Intimate Relationships
Family can mean different things to many people, the overall perception of what it is believed to be is the "traditional" two parents and siblings 1950s scenario. I personally feel that a family are those around you that teach you basic human manners and principles. They are the people that support you and worry over you and have deep emotional attachment to. In my opinion I don't believe that people can have a good relationship without some arguing. If you take someone with all the good and have never taken or seen the bad, then I believe you will never have a true bond.People might be raised in cold environments where people have never paid them any attention and so they might later be approached by people who later do create lasting bonds with them, whether it be toxic or healthy.
Whether people are raised in positive, loving, and caring environments, or hostile, cold, abusive, ones, I agree with the definition that family is the most basic micro-level structure that can have a direct impact on society. Whether this is detrimental or beneficial to society.

Good points. I agree that your family can be anyone who you make it, or whoever you happen to grow up with and share the same values, beliefs and create lasting relationships with. But also like you said, family relationships are dynamic and the successful ones often have the good, bad and ugly.
ReplyDeleteI love that you put in a picture of the gang, most people just assume that people who join gangs are nothing but "hoodlums", but the truth is that some if not most join because they feel as if they have no family. Therefore, they see a gang as a family, people who look out for eachother, and stick with eachother no matter what.
