Blog 12: Broken families are to be blamed.

From my past blogs I have been writing things about “broken families are to be blame for the violence happening in the society.” I have cited examples that could probably be the cause like bullying, financial problem, films, media and more. Then I started thinking about people who opposes this idea. One example is Tony blare.

According to an article of Metro (News): ‘Don’t blame broken homes for guns.’ Tony Blair opposes people who are saying that all people who come from a broken family are the reason for the violence of the society he stated that this social issues must not be generalized, that the actual thing was there were specific problem to specific family. According to his opinion, People must not blame broken homes for the Britain’s gun and gang culture.

He stated that families must be dealt in a “special case.” Because it is a general problem
“If you end up saying there is a general problem then you can talk about tax breaks for marriage, extra money on tax credits, extra child benefit. All of those would help all families.”
But again, for his opinion it should not be generalized because, not everyone encountering such issues of being in a broken family has to do with this social issue.

“Those families are families who, fortunately are a small number, but their problems are so intense and so profound and they are so shut out from the normal way of living in our society that unless you are prepared to intervene at a very early stage … you are not going to deal with it.”

Because of what Tony Blair said made me think about a lot of thing, I am from a broken family and when I was young I bully people and one of the main reasons was because of the situation happening in my family and even a “simple bullying” affects the society. Although it is not as tremendous of what had happen to Britain, it may be a simple violence but it may actually be the start of something tremendous.

Maybe not all children from a broken family does this because, people are different. Parents have their own way of raising their children. It is really depending on how ones parent or guardian orients children. At the moment my mother figured out that I was bullying students in school. It was the happiest moment in my life because, that was the moment when my mother and I became open with each other. I shared my insights, my deeper hidden feelings with her. That was actually very effective, parents may not be able to intervene their lives early, I could cite the example of what my mother did to me, and in spite of what had happen to us she still became a mother and a parent to me. Things aren’t too late for everyone. But, as early as possible “build a family” even though it is broken, you are still in a family.

Again, we must not blame all parents just because of this incident; they may be a big part of what had happen but, maybe this incident must be a warning for every family. This is a lesson for everyone.
