Family Values
Family Values

There are so many various types of people with different ethnic backgrounds, culture and manner of living that are the cause of distinct values in a family. These families have poor, mediocre or virtuous family values, however what one may consider as a mediocre family value may seem poor to someone else and vice-versa. These family values differ from family to family world-wide. The most significant values are family unity, honesty and education.

Family unity, is a family being together in blissful harmony on holidays.
Family unity is regardless how bad a situation may be it will bring us closer together and make our bond stronger. Family unity is my family watching me grow from infancy to adulthood, guiding me with good values. Family unity is communicating with each other. Unfortunately, my parents were seldom around during my childhood stages. Therefore they were rarely home to guide me through good family values. Now that I am an adult my parents are persistent to spend time with me and teach me values not taught to me when I was a child. I believe it's like teaching an old dog new tricks. A child needs direction from the childhood up to adulthood not the reverse. I recall coming home from school to an empty house. My parents were working to provide us with a home, things we needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song whose lyrics explained about objects in a house that were still the same, but a house was not a home if there wasn't anyone there you can kiss good night. I must agree with Luther, I've felt the same way for years. It would have been nice to have my parents home to enforce rules at home. For example, if someone would have been home I would have done my homework instead of going outside to play. Another example is sitting together as a family to have dinner is something we rarely did. There were many things I wish we would have

    My parents had given me the old family car, but insisted I pay for the gasoline and insurance. After a long search for a job as an unexperienced worker, I landed my first job at Round Table.

    Whenever I hear the word family the first word that comes to my mind is unity. Unity in a way as which a group acts together for their own personal well-being. In the movie Tigerland, it is a perfect description of Webster's dictionary definition. Tigerland is a movie about men that are being trained to go to Vietnam. Through many hard weeks of training and intense mental strain the soldiers depend on one another to help them persevere and make it through the training. In many ways soldiers are a family. All of the soldiers who are there share the same goal of becoming a soldier in the military and they usually do reside in the same dwelling place, the exact definition of Webster's.…

    Values are the things that are most important to us, and they are the foundation of who we are. “A significant portion of the values we hold is established in our early years—by parents, teachers, friends, and others” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 10). They may also come from special groups that we are a part of including cultural or religious. A few examples of some personal values include honesty, responsibility, loyalty, respect, and ambition to name a few. It is important to realize your values because they affect your everyday decisions from home to work life. How we treat the people that we come in contact with is a direct reflection of our personal values.…
