Topic: Family is the bedrock of the society - page 2. (Read 423 times)

They do not only look for affection and attention outside home, but also look for proper parent figures on TV and on the internet. That is when all goes south, if you ask me. Many things can go wrong with a teen who does not find discipline and a model to follow when starts to learn from influencers from Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Those people are fake and would only share what is worth for them to share: parties, women, alcohol abuse, gambling, etc. 

The teen would eventually believe that is what a "winner" looks like and try to pursue to get a life of eternal party into his own life. It is even worse when the people followed on social media are cruel, greedy, mistreats women, etc.

Social media and easy access to internet for children are the anti thesis of proper parenting. 

You are right, it's everything duty of parents to look after their children and correct them when ever they are going astray, parents should also try to live by example so their children can see and copy from them too, because parents are always the reprocical of their children's behavior, and a good parents should know that their child (children) is always their children and they should be always be treated like one no matter their age.
As for me even at my age, my parents always talk and give me a parental advice and always give me that acknowledgement that they know more than irrespective of my age, so I urge all parents to do same too,

When a child(children)is a nuisance in the community or society, the accusing fingers are always pointed to their family ( parents) that they didn't train their children very well, same applies when the child (children) is well behave in the society, the appraiser goes the family (parents) and that's the More reason why parents should direct their children on the right path....

Family is the most important part of the society, nothing can grow with the society. Because the society origin started from  family first, then compound ,then it form the larger community, then the society we're in today.so if one wants to achieve social change in the society,he or her must first get it right from the family level. If it works in the family, then it will work in the society.

Many in today's society, their children lack the love of their parents, scolding their children without knowing what wrong the children have done. Sometimes such a child is always looking for affection outside the home. Like promiscuity that makes them do bad things. Therefore, many crimes are committed by teenagers today. And overly spoiled children are also not good. Parents must be able to balance between work and family, so that the family is always harmonious. And everything is very influential when the child is in society.

Strongly agree with your post. The family is the primary place where a person can learn the way and conduct of life; all this learning directly impacts any person's life. Therefore, the fortress family system plays a vital role in a strong society.

Some agreed that it was Education that was the Bedrock, now we discussing about how the family is also the bedrock of society, It means that there is not just one thing that can be agreed to as the bedrock of the society, but a couple of things, and out of the list, Education and Family have been identified as part of it. But of the two, Family that is the people you spent the early stages of your life with and grew up with is more important because you are thought how to act respectfully, that is you are thought morals. An uneducated child with good morals will not be a problem to the society, but an educated child with bad morals is more likely to a nuisance to society.

The family has the power to improve society and make it a better place to live. If there is ever a crisis in our society, we must hold the parents accountable because every abnormal behavior that is practiced in our society today began in the home. Therefore, if parents observe any odd behavior in their children, they should warn it right away to stop it.

You just opened my understanding to another aspect of our societal problems. No child chooses his family because you can't select your parents. Some children are born into homes that are headed by drug addict, criminals and child molester. They end up imbibing what they learn from their parents and become a challenge to the society. These children would still grow up to have their own children that might still inculcate the same abnormal behaviors.

For us as parents we must ensure that we give the best to our children. Providing their physical need is not enough because emotional and psychological needs are also very important. We must not be too harsh or too soft to our children. The wife and the husband should be friendly to the children so that they can open up and tell them their problems.

Recently, my 10year old son told my wife that our neighbors daughter was touching his private part and he is having an urge he cannot explain. And he told her not to tell me because I might be very angry with him. This event just taught me that I must be more friendly with him so that he can also seek advice from me too.

The thing is, this foundation starts with how mothers teach their children well, and just like how the famous saying says, "Good Women can make a whole community good as well." that's because, when the father is at work, mothers will take care of the children and they will teach them the right manners to be a good person and it will be like a domino effect because, after their mother, they will also teaching their children and so on so forth.

I share the same belief with you, on this topic. Family is truly the bedrock of the society, and not Education to me, Family was the first buildup of the state, the Orine of state can be best trance to the family.
The family is the very first class of the child, where they learnt both inform and knowledge of the society.
The family should be hold responsible if the society goes wrong, the parents should be blame for any wrong behaviour in the society and if there is a change and peace in the society the parents should be given the accolades.

Some families have lost the family value in them,father don't take care of his responsibilities due to his reckless life style,mother do try her best but it is not good enough,and you see these children disrespecting their parents,talking back at them and even use abuses words on their parents because the parents couldn't fend for them.

The society comprises of different families,which everybody will show the public how they do live their various lives in their different houses by their characters. If you child does something good,call her cheer him up and encourage him to do more,but if he does something wrong, call him and let him know what he did was wrong and tell him the implications of his actions or words,so that he would not do it anymore. A little scorning can help,if children are not corrected, they will feel that they are doing the right thing

The problem is that not everybody has a stable family and it isn't their fault.  You can be born into all sorts of situation through no fault of your own.  In our society, you aren't allowed to have "good luck" because it makes other people feel bad who weren't given the same opportunities.  This is why we're seeing attacks against family and religion by the political left.  Instead of being happy for people with great families and nice lives, they hate them and think they're the reason that not everybody has such things.  These types of people who think things are a zero sum game are dangerous and will be the downfall of society. 

I am a married person with children, I am going through what you say, so I agree entirely with you, family is the most important bedrock. Children are a blank page, and that blank page will become a beautiful song, a beautiful picture, or will be just a scribbled page, that's for us to decide. My 2 children, always follow my every action and word. If I get angry and swear, they will repeat the same thing, they have absolutely no idea what they just said, they are just copying from me. I can say who they will be in the future is up to me and my wife to decide.

Every day that goes by, homes separate themselves more and more. Unfortunately, this lack of connection between couples, parent-child relationships, and siblings can lead to resentment, especially when parents stop paying attention to their kids' regular activities. As a result of these dysfunctional family settings, the majority of recorded cases of domestic violence, child molestation, kidnapping of girls, and inadequate schooling have occurred.Since busy schedules sometimes make it difficult to slow down and spend time with families, parents must make every effort to instill in their children good morals. In turn, children must be honorable AMBASSADORS of their family tree.

The government should be the last body to orientate any parent on the upbringing of their wards. The government is not the determinant of what’s right and wrong and should not have any business in how parents raise their wards.
Obviously, there are laws that’s put in place by the government that somewhat dictates on how parents should bring up their children. Those laws are out in place for the general welfare of the child. Aside those laws guaranteeing the rights of the child, the government has no say in how the child is brought up. It all dwells on the parents.

Everyone knows the difference between right and wrong and parents no matter how they try to shield away from responsibilities, are the root cause if their child goes astray.

I think government should do more in reorienting parents about the children upbringing, because the society will definitely be affected when a child is not properly brought up, recently a 15 years boy gun down another person in Stockholm Sweden. Parents no longer shoulder any obligation, They desire personal time for themselves. I never requested any personal time as my kids are growing up, because I'm constantly aware of their where abouts and who they were with. In order to ensure that the children receive assistance quickly and before their wrongdoing progressed too far, the school is the first to notice when a student is moving in the wrong direction and must alert the neighborhood and the police.

Every society start emancipation from the family, that is why it has always been the foundation to every strong and vibrant community today, the family is were we all begin our livelihood before we got exposed to the open world and got advanced in life, if a family failed then the community is failing gradually because each family constitute the growth and development of the society, this makes the family as important as the growth of the society

Nuclear family is central to a stable society and it's been that way for all of human history -- it seems to me family values are eroding away and uncoincidentally suicidal ideations, drug abuse, porn addiction are all rising at accelerated rates with marriage and birth rates down.

Usually nuclear families can be maintained through religious bonds and cultural homogeneity but it doesn't necessarily require that. I'm not the biggest fan of religion myself though it does help maintain stable social structure. Take religion out and put children through unstable family structures, they end up being another statistic: someone less likely to get an education, more likely to commit crime, more likely to have a child out of wedlock, more likely to enter a cycle of poverty, etc.

A family comprises of two,three or more person depending on the type of family. There there must be the father and mother. It is good that we should know how to relate with our family members well in other for easy corrections and advices, so that a good moral and God fearing life can be practiced. Children learn from what they see their parents do at home,than what their parents tell them. For instance,if a man always tells his 15yrs old son to always be at home at 6.00pm and the father comes back home at 10.00pm, how will this boy not stay late nights when he becomes an adult.
The home is the first place where the child starts learning from toddler stage till youth stage, and every character displayed by parents in the house will affect their children positively or negatively. That is why as parents we should always try our best to live in unity and love and be of good example to our children. We shouldn't over pamper them and think that we are giving them much love, instead you are making them useless and being nuisance to the society. If these kind of pampered children are given power or leaders in the society they will mess the whole thing up due to the spoilt way,they were brought up. They will also be the ones who will be doing all sort of evils in the society because they were not cautioned by their parents.
It is good that the moment your child misbehaved,you should caution and correct him immediately, so that he will live to grow with the right morals and to be a good leader in the society,they will also be of good behavior and add value to the society.
Majority of atrocities that are happening in the society today are children whose parent didn't correct them or put them through in life,by living a good life as an example for them to emulate. Parents should have time with their children and correct them when they are going wrong so that they will be able to add value to the society by displaying what they have learnt from their parents. So many homes are broken or some parents don't even see their children for more than a month or two all in the excuse of work, how will you be able to see the wrongs of your child and make correction. The society will end up training your child in the way he will be useless in life. We should try to help this little ones who are vulnerable to attacks to have good morals and character, because that was why God gave them to us,it is not just to give birth to them and leave them alone due to our selfish intention. This will help them  add positive impact to the society ,and this will help to tackle some evil deeds in the society because family is the bedrock of the society.
