Family and Society

Family is an important unit in society. The standard and especially the cultural of a family make it agreeable to other families and to the society as a whole. Here, standard does not necessarily mean financial standard, but educational and behavioral standard. The behavior of the family or family tradition depends mostly on the elders, who are to guide the young members of the family properly so that the prestige of the family is preserved and perpetuated.
Modern family may be a small unit with the father, the mother and the children, the son and daughters. The bringing up of the children is the responsibility of the parents. The parents may preach something and practice something else. In that case the effects will be unproductive on the young generation. Young boys and girls would learn from the parents’ behavior, how they behave with others, how they behave with each other, and particularly how they behave when they are angry.
Anger brings out the real self of the man. Not anger by it but its reactions, speak of a man’s or women’s background, bringing up status and standard in society. There are persons who when angry would throw tantrums, would forget themselves, and behave insanely, with abuses pouring out of the mouth like water from the tap.
