Family and Values

Now a days, families are not typically what they used to be; mom, dad, sister, brother, and pet. Now, some families have a variation in the certain people that make them a family. Certain families only have a mom, some only have grandparents and some, don’t even have any children. A family can be composed of how many members desired and with who ever you live with or whom is closest to you. But a family is a family no matter how big or small and no matter who it involves.
Aside from having different family sizes, we also all vary in our individual family values. We don’t all think the same way about certain things and it is why your family values may differ from other families. For example, some families value wealth. But other families value dignity and respect. For the ones that value dignity and respect, it’s quite difficult to gain respect, because in order to receive it, one must give it not only to elders but also to the ones around them. Also, for a family like that, it would be very humiliating and respect-loosing, to have their daughter, or any other female in the family to get pregnant. Other families value loyalty. With this being said, these families stick together no matter the circumstances and may consider it betraying, when you take another side that is not your own (meaning your own family). A couple of families also tend to take religion very seriously, while some don’t even believe in GOD and are very secular.
Due to the various points of views of different people, every family has their own values, some of which others may have in common and some of which some disagree with. With this being said, not only do people think differently, but they also vary in size, and in who or what makes up their family. So because of the differential components that make the/a family, it is imperative that we consider these differences and have consideration that not everyone thinks the same way about certain concepts. It is also imperative that we acknowledge these differences and maintain at a stable position with our beliefs, etc so that you keep your family proud.
