Families are such an interesting combination. It is the only place where you can find a group of people with such different qualities, attributes, likes and dislikes, interests and personalities. I find it so incredible how the family is an example for the rest of the world that people can live together and survive despite their differences. These differences are only opportunities to learn. If used for good, it provides a chance to everybody in the home to grow and become more open to others' thoughts and beliefs. How is it that many countries cannot live in peace when a home can manage to peacefully despite their differences?... Well, I believe it is love. Love is the motive that enables family members to endure together. Family structure theory allows us understand that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words; despite the differences that exist among the individual parts of the family, as seen as a whole and put together all of their strengths to work to overcome weaknesses; family then, becomes the basic unit in society. If we follow this example as a community, we could live in a world with less conflict.
