Family Values

Family Values


     There are so many various types of people with different ethnic

backgrounds, culture and manner of living that are the cause of distinct values

in a family. These families  have poor, mediocre or virtuous family values,

however what one may consider as a mediocre family value may seem poor to

someone else and vice-versa.  These family values differ from family to family

world-wide. The most  significant values are family unity, honesty and education.


       Family unity, is a family being together in blissful harmony on holidays.

Family unity is regardless how bad a situation may be it will bring us closer

together and make our bond stronger. Family unity is my family watching me grow

from infancy to adulthood, guiding me with good values. Family unity is

communicating with each other. Unfortunately, my parents were seldom around

during my childhood stages. Therefore they were rarely home to  guide me through

good family values. Now that I am an adult my parents are persistent to spend

time with me and teach me values not taught to me when I was a child. I believe

it's like teaching an old dog new tricks. A child needs direction from the

childhood up to adulthood not the reverse.  I recall coming home from school to

an empty house. My parents were working  to provide us with a home, things we

needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A

popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song  whose lyrics explained  about

objects in a house that were still the same, but a house was not a home if there

wasn't anyone there you can kiss good night. I must agree with Luther, I've felt

the same way for years. It would have been nice to have my parents home to

enforce rules at home. For example, if someone would have been home I would have

done my homework instead of going outside to play. Another example is sitting

together as a family to have dinner is something we rarely did. There were many

things I wish we would have discussed at the dinner table. Having my parents

spend time with me on weekends would have been very good example of  family

values.  My parents were so busy trying to give us everything material and

forgot that spending time with us meant more.


     Secondly, the value of honesty.  Honesty is the back bone of a persons

word.  Without it there would not  be any meaning. Throughout my life my father

always stressed that honesty was an important value.
