It is important really to know how to regulate the sexual activity between a couple/marriage as this can lead to problems within the relationship. One example of this is if they morally believe in sex before marriage. If a couple were to start a family and one half of the relationship has followed this principle religiously, then this can cause delaying of children being produced to ultimately start a family. Sexual activity is a natural thing in society, but it is important in a family to control this by only sleeping with the partner essential to start a family with as this shows loyalty to the partner. This is also called Monogamy.
It is very important to train children to behave because this will reflect how they perform in life generally. A most important aspect of their life is during their education when it is a necessity for children to behave in a socialised environment. However, not all children are the same as they are all different in personality; this is a natural cause from the genes of their parents. Therefore, it is important to train a child with the right method. If they aren’t trained early on in their life, then the chances of them behaving in the way that is expected of them from others is harder as they grow older. There are three stages to socialisation, according to Parsons’ empirical research and they are primary, secondary and tertiary socialisation. The first level of socialisation comes at the first stage of a child’s life when they are developing personality characteristics, beliefs and values based on their upbringing. The secondary socialisation level occurs when an individual is learning about what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. It usually occurs at the adolescence stage and this helps the child to become more aware of what the larger society expects of them. The final level of socialisation occurs when an individual has integrated into the world and begins to gain new ideas and values of socialisation.
It is important to know who we are individually and what we mean to other people. This is because it gives us a sense of security and belonging to a society. To truly know who we are, this will show society our characteristics and what we are truly capable of in order to make a change to this world. In every human being, there is something original, whether that is a unique talent for example. By showing society what we are capable of then this makes us feel secure within our environment. It could also be the reason for meeting new people, if a stranger to you knows someone from your family, the chances are they can relate to you and also feel a sense of being comfortable.
One particular area of the economic issue that supports a child in a family is notably when they are first born. They get given gradual financial support into an account ready for when they are old enough to look after themselves. As a result of this, they are financially secure for when they want to start their adult life or whether they want to go to university to pay for tuition fees. This stops the child as they grow older to worry about their future and feel secure.
It is important to show people that we care because this is what the core of being a family is all about. It is about love, care and protection. In the sense of being a family, this is a natural human instinct to have as a family member; therefore as we get older, we take this instinct into the larger society and show others that we try to help them. This is because it is what we like to do or it could possibly be the explanation of empathy for another individual. It is a fact that over 1 million people care for more than 1 person, and this statistic, by 2037, is expected to rise significantly.
As a conclusion as to why families are good for society, they are the reason why individuals grow into the people they eventually turn out to be in the society that they live in. This really means that their behaviour and attitudes to life itself will have a positive impact on both themselves and the people within the society. The instincts to care for others will play a significant part in society later on in their life, with the positive upbringing from their parents being a major factor.
