We may ask ourselves: why are families important really? Let us turn to
a few sources:
Wiki says: “The purpose of families is to maintain the well-being of its
members and of society. Ideally, families would offer predictability,
structure, and safety as members mature and participate in the community.
In most societies, it is within families that children acquire socialization
for life outside the family. Additionally, [..] it ideally builds a person
into a functional adult, transmits culture, and ensures continuity of
humankind with precedents of knowledge”
In essence a family is where we learn to be social individuals.
Of course a family can mean many things. We have extended families,
we have nucleus families, single-parent families and a lot more than we
can even think of.
However, it does not detract from the simple fact: in most parts of the
world, throughout time, family has been the single element binding society
together. It has formed the very basic for any social development
and ultimately the prosperity of nations.
That is why I like Family Day – 15 May.
