If a family member decides they want to leave Islam it is considered not keeping the peace within the family or community.…
Family Theory Assessments and Application of Family Interventions According to the Family Theory, each part of a system is interrelated, dependent on each other, and affects one another (Codina Leik, 2014).

Leadership on the line by Ronald A. Heifetz and Marty Linksys is a very timely book. Maggie’s description of her Indian community and the effects of alcohol made me think of many urban communities and the pain that lurks in those communities. The stories she shares about Lois and the heart she had for her community and desire to make it better make you think we need more leaders like that. Lois leadership inspired me because she saw something wrong in her community she believed she could bring change. Lois is a good picture of servanthood she doesn’t sit and think someone should so something…

The Functionalists have a structural macro approach to society. They believe that the family benefits society and help society to run well and that it is the corner stone of a positive society.

However, there are other groups such as the Marxists and Feminists who believe that the family can be detrimental to society, disagreeing with the functionalists’ positive view.…
