If the Family Unit is the Backbone of a Society...

Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family. -Clare Boothe Luce

Even as the cell is the unit of the organic body, so the family is the unit of society. -Ruth Nanda Anshen

The family is the most basic unit of government. As the first community to which a person is attached and the first authority under which a person learns to live, the family establishes society's most basic values. -Charles Caleb Colton


If the smallest unit of our society is the family, the best way to fix what is wrong with society is to start with the way we are raising our children.  If we raise our children to be self sufficient and socially conscious, our society will return to a self sufficient and socially conscious society.  If we raise our children to be egocentric and always looking for what society can do for them, our society will continue on the distructive path that we are on.  Food for thought.
