Family Values
Value is defined as the equality or worth of a thing. Our social values are often times backed up by our religious beliefs or spiritual traditions and beliefs. Sometimes we value ourselves as a peacemaker, trouble maker, and more in our family and friends. Having a strong will defines family values and helps the foundation for a mighty family. As a family grows up together and gets closer to another, the values of a family are more important in building trust and confidence in each family member. For example, one of my top family values is forgiveness. Forgiving people who have wronged you is a significant choice to make. It is not some feeling that randomly washes over you when you feel the other person has suffered enough. Most importantly, holding a grudge is not conductive to a close family with mutual respect. Family is the most important factor that defines a person’s self worth and being. Family plays a crucial role in nurturing you into becoming a person respected in today’s society you live in. There are always there to support you in times of trouble, share your joys, etc. They not only provide you when you were young but they are your foundation in developing the values that will define you as a person. In my household, family values are sacred and we agree to live by that. One of the values is communication. I cannot emphasize how much communication is vital in a family. One reason communication is important is that if a family member misunderstands something; it is most likely due to a failure of communication, which can lead to severe pain and unhappiness. Communication can also relate to eye contact, emails, volume, and body languages. Another basic value in my family is responsibility. As time goes by, one will understand that responsibility is something that is learned. For example, as a little kid, you may have witnessed how to clean up after yourself,
