America's family values are very important to our citizens. For many
years the American family and its values have been one of the top priorities of
our nation.
The family is even an essential part of the American Dream that
we Americans are so fond of. The basic idea of success in America is measured
by how well one can provide for their family. But what does citezenship have to
do with family values? It determines these values and set a standard for the
whole of America's people. Family values are of the utmost importance to the
American citizen.Family values are basically the core of our way of living. They have
been important since, and even before, the very beginning of our civilization,
and certainly since the founding of the United States of America.
Theories
suggest that even the primitive caveman was very loyal and respectful to his
particular family unit. People of our time have followed these beginnings of
the ideas of family values and citizenship up until the present day. Today
however people are more diversified and separated in their ways but they all
share similar values of the family. A nation, being of mostly socially
compatible people, functions in a similar way as a family. The nation selects
its national family values by legislation which becomes law.
Civilization,
over time, has brought about values which have become essential to all.Family values have brought considerable amounts of happiness onto us
throughout the course of our history. Where would we be without love and
compassion? We would probably be in worldwide chaos if there still even was a
world left. People would only regard each other as just mild acquaintances,
there would be no friends, lovers, or married people anywhere without such
values.
All people desire family values, such as love, care, intimacy,
acceptance, commitment, and shared responsibility. This is why people from all
religious, political, and social persuasions say our society needs family values.These are the arenas in which families interact, based upon their mutual
commitment to the greater good, practicing, imparting, and celebrating true
family values.Family values' attributes to citizenship are very meaningful. For the
greater common good a society must have adequate family values to prevent chaos.America seems to be gradually losing these very important values which are of
immeasurable cost.
This loss is due to a reduction of morals by our society and
a brainwashed acceptance of what we know is clearly wrong. It is one of a
citizen's most important duties to uphold family values. Failure to do so may
result in an incalculable loss such as the destruction of a society we have
strived so long to build. This is one of the primary reasons for the downfall
of the Greater Roman Empire. The loss of society's values gradually weakened
and disassociated them to the point that they were overran by a weaker power.To preserve our society we, as citizens, must uphold our family values.
Family values are the very fabric that holds our society together. We
have had them since the earliest society on our Earth. They have provided a
clear outline for religious, social, and moral values throughout history. They
have formed a basis for our governments and cultures. It is of the utmost
importance that these values are preserved for the sake of society and the
common good of all men.
