• Family is a human social invention, achieved first in farming communities, supported by respect of all members of the community.

• Definition of Family: A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children.

• Secular scholars have taken Family as a moral concept, and not as a human social achievement. This attitude has left religions as the main if not exclusive guardian of the Family. In fact, religions are the only institutions that are defending family values against non religious schools of taught. However when it comes to a situation that a selection between the values of the church and family becomes necessary; then of course they put family values for at par with the benefit of the institution of the religion.

• Another factor affecting the modern Euro-American family was the Industrial Revolution, which removed from the home to the factory many economic tasks, such as baking, spinning, and weaving. Economic and social conditions have discouraged the presence of the husband and father in the home; in industrial communities the wife and mother also is often employed outside the home, leaving the children to be cared for by others. Sociologists and psychologists find in these changed relations of the members of the family to each other and of the family to the community at large, the source of many problems such as divorce, mental illness, and juvenile delinquency.

• In the meantime, Religious fundamentalists are winning because Family is threatened by the Industrial lifestyle without a comparable upgrading of creating opportunities for Family by modernity.

• Family features and functions by modernity. Modernization vs modern philosophies.

• Family is like human rain forest, which political, religious, economical, military powers, are harvesting without a sustainable view.

• What percentage of human economy and needs pass through families?

• Secular scholars have not regarded family as the most valuable social achievement of human beings and have left Family as a morale concept.   Therefore protection of Family institution is taken as religions' exclusive territory.

• One of the most important roles of modern economy is converting more and more of human activities into an economical activity. The result is taking away more and more of in house family operations for living, like preparation, production and services done in the family for the family by the family. The family activities are taken away bit by bit by the industrial system to produce more profit entities. The result is that families do the same thing BUT out side the families. They can not share experiences while doing it. The individual experiences are separate. Family experiences are shared in less and less available time. As a result there is a vast space available for non family ideas to develop in the individuals. The main result is that humans are losing their individuality of life. In exchange they each get an individual bank account. And a separate pay check, to pay for mass produced, mass marketed products.

• Modern Law has retained strongly, the flow of OWNERSHIP in the families. That is rather the only place where family values are protected.

• Environmental: The good of Family is the good of environment. Waste is not acceptable to Family. It has proved acceptable to profit and competition economy.

• Competition: is acceptable for families where it generates more strength to the members to serve better. NOT to endanger the members or others for winning a name. (expand this to reflect how COMPETITION is destroying the earth through waste and pollution, for the sake of PROFIT and POWER. Family values of respecting the home and humans can stop this.

• Philosophical:

• Family is the greater good, keeps independence and freedom of individual & children intact.

• The dialectics

The methods of production has affected the way families live. In early human tribes, personal Family was not the right of all. Having families was the highest demand of Slaves. Serfs had families but how equal to the family values of the lords?

• Family right for all including labours was what industrialists gave serfs and took over the power.

• Modernism: Families want to be together as they wish even 100% of time. Social Power is generated by taking time off family and taking other possible resources generated by the families, OUT of FAMILY in exchange for what they need MOST.

• Generating fear (of life, future of children, resources, afterlife, morality, ranking, unknown….) in the families is the basis of power of:
• Greater good mongers
• Religions and political powers.
• Armies

• Non family objectives have left power in the hands of so called guardians of the society. Given leadership to SPECIALISTS: economists, Generals, churches, economists…etc…
• Economical power (MONEY) is generated by keeping resources away from families and exchanging it with the time and effort of the individual members of the family.

• The need has taken families away from each other….during the day, expatriates, merchants, armies….

• Different ways modern life takes time off families.

o Consumerism demands more and more out of family time.

o promoting and accommodating living as a single bachelor Extending the transition time a young adult spends to become independent and feel ready for creation of new family……

• Where does family stand in European socialist theories.
• They have ousted family to moral values in their theoretical analysis. IN spite of all their humanistic, they have deprived themselves from the core of human society, Family. So the instability and weakness against capitalist values. Capitalists have adhered their OWNERSHIP to the family core and principles through inheritance so they have been able to sustain their grip to societies and expand, even their human values are low.
