I agree that the family places a critical role in our society. The family places a role in procreation and ensuring that the human race will not die out. They also provide food, shelter, education and emotional support to the children. The children will trust their parents and elders (grandparents) as they will be close to them most of the time. Thus the moral values and religious beliefs, that are important, held by parents, can be passed down to the younger generation. The older generation can pass on the experience, which they have accumulated over the ages to the younger generation. Thus the younger generation can use the past as a mirror and prevent themselves from necessarily repeating the same mistakes their elders have made and get hurt. They also can impart life skills to the younger generation. The parents also can instil discipline and responsibility in their children so the chance that the younger generation committing crimes and doing evil deeds will be lower. Even though parents may be working all day long during the weekend, their grandparents can still teach the younger generation and the parents can be with the children during the weekend. The parents may not care about their children, but their grandparents will still care and show concern to the children. Even though friends also play a part but their role are not as critical as the family, their friends might teach them the wrong things due to their ignorance. Schools also play a part but their role are not as critical as the family, as their teacher may not care about their students. Thus in conclusion, I agree that the family does play a critical role in our society.
