What are your thoughts "Send Keys" of why I placed this pyramid like this. Why do you think I put the family unit on top with the most power. Shouldn't it be in a modern society that families dont exist. They have no power????
Families do not exist any more due to government intervention into the homes and lives of every American.
At one time (me being only 24 I can only go off of the word of my grandfather) if you got into trouble and took something like candy from the drug store or maybe didnt do your homework at school it was upto your parents to punish you. Now if you take a piece of candy from the drugstore it is concidered thieft a punishable offense and you may have to go sit in a detention center for a month or so. Or god forbid you not doing your homework or for that matter just being a kid and "forgeting it" . An array of things may happen to you then: Lose a grade, detention, intentional in class humiliation, and many many more thing just because you didnt turn in an assignment all without even the slightest call home to the parents.
I could go on and on about how the government tells you how to run your home from telling you how to raise your child all the way to up to even bribing your children to tell on you if you tell them to go to bed without deasert because they slapped there sister or making them eat in their room without a table because they are grounded.
