You believe in prioritizing family values and responsibilities, hoping to foster strong, supportive relationships and a stable society.
Familialism is a political ideology that places the family unit at the center of social, political, and economic policies. It emphasizes the importance of traditional family values, often advocating for policies that promote and protect the family as a fundamental institution in society. This ideology is often associated with conservative political movements, but it can also be found in various forms across the political spectrum.
The roots of familialism can be traced back to ancient societies where the family was the primary social unit. In these societies, the family was responsibl…

How do you define 'family' and has that definition evolved over time for you?
@9KRFC2D2mos2MO
No, for me it has not changed and never will. A family is either a married couple of husband (male) and wife (female) or the same husband and wife with kids.
This answer adheres to largely Christian and colonial gender and social values that restrict harmless possibilities for people to live their best lives, such as by excluding polyamorous or queer relationships and the traditional communal method of raising children.
Homosexuality, "polyamory," and "queer relationships," are all moral abominations before God that corrupt the moral fibre of those who engage in them and destroy civilisations. God created human beings male and female, with the intent that one man would marry one woman for life, and that the man would provide for his family while the woman raised children. This is how mankind was created to live, and it is only in a society that adheres strictly to this model that happiness, security, and liberty, can be found.

Family is a Mother, Father and Kids who love and support each other and help get through rough times.
@9KSRZMQ2mos2MO
While nuclear families are idealized, excluding single-parent households, same-sex parents, and legal guardians from the definition of family only harms people from making the most out of their circumstances.
@9JY7FGV3mos3MO
A family is someone who takes care and cares for you, blood doesn't always equal family
@9K226MN3mos3MO
A family is your flesh and blood relatives. Sometimes they are flawed and imperfect but they are still family.
Deleted3mos3MO
I believe in individual responsibility and self-reliance, which I highly value. I also recognize that family is not solely defined by blood relations but by care and support. This reinforces the idea that individuals have the power to form their support networks and take care of one another.
I firmly believe that strong families are the foundation of strong communities. Recognizing non-biological connections as a family promotes inclusivity and support within communities, which fosters compassion and strengthens social bonds.
I support policies that promote adoption and foster care, as they pro… Read more
@9JYZCDY3mos3MO
I believe that it is proven in history that it is how you are raised rather than where you are born that dictates your life which i feel means that who takes care of you or raises you is more important
@9JV6GHWRepublican3mos3MO
Family, for me, is the typical Male father, Female mother, and then children. It has not, nor will it ever evolve. This is how God made us, and how I understand it. Sure, there are times when there will be a single parent household, and that can’t be helped, but sometimes, like in a divorce, that can’t be helped.
@9JVNN563mos3MO
@9JVM46M3mos3MO
sometimes blood fmily doesnt make them family. its how they treat you and how much respect and trust you are given
@9KR8LLR2mos2MO
Mom and dad and children. My definition has not changed
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How has the concept of family motivated you to improve your community or society?
@9KSCKFXRepublican2mos2MO
By respecting elders, veterans, and cleaning up the environment.

Familialism supports the idea of community and unity. It is important for individual citizens to participate in bettering their community.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How do you forge your own path while respecting the expectations of your family?
@9KCJC6RIndependent3mos3MO
In order to succeed there must be family support and they must respect your decisions and so forth.
You keep them all the time in the back of your mind, you take their interests in mind while also pursuing yours, but you are your own person and are expected to walk your own path. Keep up and keep a bond with family but you need to stretch your wings, man
@9KCJ9ZT3mos3MO
I would make the point clear that you are your own person, including your thoughts, perspectives, and aspirations. No family member should have a firm hold on what another family member wants to be or strive towards.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
In what ways has your family encouraged or challenged your personal identity and self-expression?
@9KYTNJ52mos2MO
My family has definitely challenged my self-expression and I've had to work for them to accept the way I am.
@9KYSTW2Republican2mos2MO
they are strong and cultured people who showed me how to survive in a rough world
@9KYT2DL2mos2MO
My family has actively suppressed my self expression and identity in favor of more traditional values. Clothes, hair, makeup (or lack thereof), even mannerisms.
@9KYT5B82mos2MO
They encourage me to be myself and do whatever I deem as right for me.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you cope with the pressure of family expectations without losing your individuality?
@9HXMCGGWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
I help and take care of my family but I think it is also important to take care and be just as thoughtful to yourself just as you with your family. Putting family first is not always the right answer but it is also super important to do.
I think learning that you are growing and discovering your own path can help reassure you of your choices. It is important to hear other perspectives and see opinions from loved ones as guidance but never as mandatory.
@9HYBZRW4mos4MO
I just remember that yes I was born and made to reproduce a new generation. no, I don't think having a family is for everyone but for me, I can enjoy my everyday things with kids and I can have my alone time it's just not so easy.
@9HXMJRQProgressive4mos4MO
I believe that I am my own person, as some of the things I do may make my family disappointed in me, the decisions I make are mine. I won't lose my individuality because I will stand my ground on my opinions.
@9HYRKYM4mos4MO
Understand your audience: Tailor your arguments to resonate with the values, beliefs, and perspectives of the people you are trying to convince. Use evidence: Support your arguments with credible sources, data, and examples to strengthen your position.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Can the strength of family bonds be measured by something other than time spent together?
@9KCHH253mos3MO
I believe it is good but always depends on the house hold and what the beliefs are
@9KCGYNN3mos3MO
Yes, it could also be measured by how the family treats each other. If the family members are more distant or worse, abusive, then the family bonds are weak. But if the family is loving and considerate of one another and respect each other, the familial bond is stronger and healthier.
@9KCHKR63mos3MO
absolutely can relationships with family and friends are not just based on the time spent together it's also the kindness and the way we treat each other out of respect or not.
@9KCHB7C3mos3MO
no since you have to teach children some things there parents wouldn't like in order for them to be able to have a good education
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you nurture family connections when you have differing lifestyles or beliefs?
@9KYTKM52mos2MO
if you have a family member who lives a different lifestyle than you or has different religion or cultural beliefs, you should nurture that connection to help your relationship grow because if you don't nurture that connection they may get offended and try to push you away.
@9KYTJXWPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
I like to try to understand and learn others lifestyles and beliefs even when i can't relate
@9KYT6C62mos2MO
You should not be influenced by your parent as much
