The Family in a Modern World

There have been bountiful amounts of research done regarding the definition of family. Questions such as “Does having same gender parents affect the outcome of a child?” or “Does having the mother work out of the home affect a child’s development?” And while these are among the many important questions that should be looked at, none of them are being researched in the correct way. They are lacking in a variety of very important categories when testing these questions. These would include, but certainly not limited to, sample size, a controlled group to compare data to, and types of samples. The statistics often can be so misleading that it causes the public to believe one thing when in fact, something entirely different is the case.   For instance, people tend to believe that half of all marriages end in divorce.

Families have spark a lot of controversy. For instance, what is family? Some would argue for the more traditional side (mother, father, children) while others would say, family consist of the people living in your neighborhood. There is no one definition of family because we are all different unique.  Whatever you may believe about families, there is always someone who will ALWAYS disagree with you. I've decided to put my beliefs out there and to hear what others have to say about families as well. I love my family and was raised in the most ideal home anyone could have hoped for. My parent's love for each other is eternal and show true interests in my siblings and myself. I hope that when I have my own family, it will be reared out of love and respect, just like my family now.  Through this blog I planned to write about families and all that is encompassed within that unit. The things I will talk about are bound to be controversial. I don't ask any of you to agr...
