Family are the individuals who have special meaning, they make up the foundation of our support and those who we love dearly. They’re are the people we are closest to and the one’s that help us prosper and mature as human beings. There are so many different types of people with various ethnic backgrounds, culture and manners of living that cause distinct values in a family. All families hold their own values, but each value may seem different to every individual as well. For example, one may believe that eating dinner together as a family is important for the wellbeing of the family dynamic. While another person may believe that it doesn’t make a difference at all. These family values differ from family to family worldwide. …show more content…
One of the main purposes of a family is to develop an individual when they are young so they can live on their own and be successful when they reach a certain stage in their life. That is why I believe an important value of family is education. Families, parents especially should pass onto the younger generation the importance of being knowledgeable and conscious of the world around them. Family can also be role models of developing children, so they try to be like that person. That is why family has such an impact on a child’s life.
Each and every family has a different set of given standards in their household. “What's a family value statement?

Every American regardless of their background or station in life should have the same access to achieve the American dream. Everyone has his or her own views on what the American dream actually is. Eleanor Roosevelt may have summarized this uniqueness in the most compelling words. In her Cold War-era essay “What Has Happened to the American Dream?” (1961), Roosevelt expressed deep concern about America’s image abroad, and lamented the creeping influence of Soviet Russia. “The future will be determined by the young,” she asserted, “and there is no more essential task today, it seems to me, than to bring before them once more, in all its brightness, in all its splendor and beauty, the American Dream.” But what exactly was this dream? Perhaps, she meant, that its appeal lies in its very mutability in the fact that it is expansive enough to allow each of us to draw inspiration from it in our own way. No single individual or group has exclusive claim to the American dream, but we all have our own vision as to what the dream is to us. The American dream is not only a form of hope or aspiration but as a way of life in which we can come closer to if we
