Family

Family, traditional model or current model?

When we speak about family, we should keep in mind all the kinds of family that there are. In the past, it only was considered to be speaking about family when there were blood ties, if it was not so, there wasn’t a family. Fortunately, current times are changing this perspective. Now, family could be comprised of different members: adoptive family, friends, boyfriends or girlfriends, two fathers, two mothers… Never mind. I agree on this point of view. Family should be something you feel and no matter if there are blood ties or not. Some people think that homosexual couples, for example, shouldn’t have children. Why? I don’t understand this. Why are traditional parents better than homosexual parents at looking after children? It makes no sense. Continually, we see cases of maltreatment towards children, and parents are heterosexuals. I think that this example break down this stupid theory.
To sum up, the word “family” can cover a lot of perspectives in order to understand it. You decide which the meaning is.
