As we are all aware, family orientation has gone waywood and information technology has taken over. I totally agree with every opinion that has been stated.Don't ever forget your commen sense in approaching situations, children have "always" been a reflection of their parents and hence the responsibility at hand. It's comforting to see conviction/ethics emphasised! Thanks.

This topic seems so vague but I'm assuming there's an assumption that the "family" as we know it is going under and technology is a sinker added into the equation? In that case doing a little further research into the decline thesis might be of value. The "nuclear family" concept that is held so dear as the ideal was only invented in the 50's and only occurred due to various social changes that moved the family from a large unit including extended family and lodgers sharing housing to smaller immediate family dwellings. I think it's important to keep in mind not all the changes have been bad. Society now has a greater acceptance of alternative family types which means that there is more belonging and less biggotry. And technology has opened many doors such as greater access to information and the ability for cross-country family to communicate.
