AMERICAN FAMILY
Belonging to a family is one bond almost everyone in the world shares, but family patterns
vary from country to country. The United States has many different types of families. While most
American families are traditional, comprising a father, mother and one or more children, 22.5
percent of all American families in 1983 were headed by one parent, usually a woman. In a few
families in the United States, there are no children. These childless couples may believe that they
would not make good parents; they may want freedom from the responsibilities of child-rearing; or,
perhaps they are not physically able to have children. Other families in the United States have one
adult who is a stepparent. A stepmother or stepfather is a person who joins a family by marrying a
father or mother.
Americans tolerate and accept these different types of families. In the United States, people
have the right to privacy and Americans do not believe in telling other Americans what type of
family group they must belong to. They respect each other’s choices regarding family groups.
Families are very important to Americans. One sign that this is true is that Americans show
great concern about the family as an institution. Many Americans believe there are too many
divorces. They worry that teenagers are not obeying their parents. They are concerned about
whether working women can properly care for their children.
Families give Americans a sense of belonging and a sense of tradition. Families give Americans
strength and purpose.
Families serve many functions. They provide a setting in which children can be born and
reared. Families help educate their members. Parents teach their children values - what they think
is important. They teach their children daily skills, such as how to ride a bicycle. They also teach
them common practices and customs, such as respect for elders and celebrating holidays. The most
important job for a family is to give emotional support and security.

HAPPY FAMILY
A family can be two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments
to one another, and usually live in the same house. Families range from all sorts of races, forms and
sizes. Families differ in various ways but each one has its own definition of a happy home and
family. So, what makes a happy family? There are many important factors that make a happy family.
Order is one of the important factors that make a happy family. With order there is no chaos
or confusion in the home. A well-organized family will be able to function smoothly and easily in
completing various tasks that each individual must do. When each individual knows his/her own
responsibility, he/she is capable and able to bring more harmony and peace in the home.
Quality time is definitely one aspect to having a happy family. This quality time spent together
as a family no matter what the activity is will surely strengthen a family’s relationship. Quality time
helps to develop a bond between family members. Not only will this strengthen ties, it will provide
you with charitable memories of times spent together, whether it is having fun, being sad, happy, or
bad.
In addition, a happy family must have an open communication between each individual. It is
important that each member of the family is heard, either it be about a problem, sharing good news
or just because that person is there. Everyone is important enough to have their own opinion. An
open communication between parents and their children will help increase trust and decrease the
problems of drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy and crime. Also an open communication
