THE GREAT STRENGTHS OF THE FAMILY

This blog talks a lot about the fragmentation of the family. However, despite the great pressures on family life, the family has within itself huge resources.

Here are the big ones

• Family bonds are very powerful despite disputes and differences
• The family has a great heritage in its own culture and roots
• Family members with their spending control the economy
• Politicians vie for the vote of family members
• Media ratings are controlled by the family members
• Despite schools and courts, the family has the controls of its children

Recently, The Markham Institute introduced a free presentation based on THE FAMILY CHALLENGE. The Eye on the Family Presentation shows the impact of the fragmenting forces of business, governments, media and community agencies. It reminds families of their great strengths. Then it outlines three ways families can strengthen themselves. Two of these ways take advantage of the internet.

The Eye on the Family presentation is available along with presenter notes.
