Why the Family?

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 agree with me, but to read what I put out and look at it with an open mind. You'll be surprised how much you may learn about families.

Many cultures, as soon as girls are developed, they are sent off to be married. Or as soon as their sons are old enough to work, they are sent off to work. This can be as young as thirteen sometimes! In my culture, appreciated that children are expected to be children until th...

Secrets of Communication

Communication is the key to any relationship. How often do we hear that? Since I was little, that fact that communication was the way to be successful in life and the only way to have successful relationships, has been drilled into my head to the point that I do not know anything different. The only problem is that now days, almost no one knows how to effectively communicate with one another. They know that this is the way you should act but no one knows how to actually implement it. So many problems and conflicts could have been easily resolved if people just took the time to learn how to interact with one another and how to express one’s thoughts and feelings. First off, it is so important that you take full responsibility for your own actions. Often times we get so distracted with the problems of other people that we do not see where we have been wrong in our own actions. The disarming technique is the best way to do this and to get the person there is a conflict...
