Family Bonds are important to have because without them people can feel alone. People may not get along with their families but a blood relative isn’t the only family someone can have. For example close friends who you have known for a very long time can be considered family and lots of times are. There are many people out there who have troubles getting along with blood relatives usually because they are so similar it makes them different and causes them to argue. In The Secret Life of Bees Lily Owens doesn’t get along with her Father T.Ray not because they are similar but because Lily is exactly like her mother. T.Ray takes things out on Lily because he lost his wife and his daughter is so similar it kills him inside to see her…

Richard Bach made a very powerful statement in the book Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah that has always resonated well with his audience and it was “Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.” This concept has created the profound thought that family does not need to be related, and in fact you can meet members of your family in every stage of your life. When you imagine a family; race, age, and sexuality are not determining factors. However, a family is a group of people or a person who will support one another in good times or bad.…
It is very debatable, but I personally do think they could be considered family. It is not just because of the blood. It is also because they support each other and are with each other all the time. Some of these boys spend more time with each other then their own parents.…
The system of kinship that I use is bilateral descent. Bilateral descent is a descent group formed by people who believe they are related to each other by connections made equally through their mothers and fathers. In any bilateral society, the kindred minimally includes parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and first cousins. The kinship the…

If you Google kinship in 2014 you get a basic definition of “blood relationship”. Hop in a time machine and jump back to around 500 A.D. and kinship isn’t just another noun in the English language. Respect and loyalty to your kinship is a way of life to the people of the Anglo-Saxon period, a custom perhaps many have lost today. Anglo-Saxons reigned in Great Britain around the 5th century and did a swell job of establishing themselves and their culture using writings and other literary works. Beowulf, an Old English poem that is often referred to as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature, is set during the Anglo-Saxon period. Beowulf undoubtedly…
There are many definitions and opinions on what a family is. Should a stepfamily no longer count as a “legitimate family” since a member does not derive from the same blood? A stepfamily is a family that is created after a remarriage from a divorce or widowed event, which includes one or more children. Once it is created a barbarous cycle is created, which brings an immeasurable amount of stress and agony. However, if the system is given time it adapts and changes into a fully functioning entity. This process takes many years to adjust to and there is a constant battle along the way. By looking at the progression of the stepfamily, one can see how a dysfunctional stepfamily can cause great harm amongst all parties which is important because…

We’ve all had family at some point or another, whether you believe that to be true or not is completely subjective, but family is not just bound by blood or genetics, race or creed. Sometimes family is a matter of acceptance and chemistry or the duality or culmination of many different things. Humans have always wanted to feel wanted, to feel as though they belong, like their existence means something to someone and that they matter, a perennial philosophy. To show us who we are as people, to make us feel as though we are normal and acceptable, to imbue us with values and teach us of the human condition in a real setting, a believable time with similarities to draw between ourselves and the characters. Que the reason I believe that The Outsiders,…
“It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons” –Johan Schiller. When we are born into a family, we inherit a blood relationship that ties us to our relatives but there is something else that creates a real family. Though blood is what initially unites a child to their ancestors, it is the people who raise, love and care for us as children that become our true family.…
