Find Our Family's Missing Link
There is a vital missing link at the heart of our Western society. It is like we haven’t discovered our key family gene. Powerful economic, political, racial and religious forces impede discovery of our essence...
However, with a new eye on the family, we can identify and deal with our missing link. Only then, can we expect to deal with the overpowering complexities of our age that are tearing away at our families: poverty, illness, injustice, stress and terror.
The efforts here are twofold:
1. Look squarely at the forces antithetical to family welfare in our society.
2. Examine strategies to strengthen family well-being.
The agenda here is based on the conviction that our world is at war with itself and our families. We suffer from a complex neurosis fostered by the following world forces:
the vast economic leverage of business on our family decisions
the misguided pressures exerted by governments
failing efforts of religions to support family life
the distortion of family values promoted by the media
the gaps between our families and the schools
our legal system that divides families
Against this dreadful montage are specific strategies that can make for civilized, democratic, growth-promoting features for our families. They include:
1. Reconstitution of the family.
2. Team-based leadership.
3. Self-help small group networks.
4. The spiritual dimension in all areas of life.
5. The family and the internet.
All our families are in this great struggle. There are too many things we could do. The thing is - do one good thing well, now.
