Family

Many people hear the word family and think, oh, family, that’s an easy concept to understand when in all reality; there are a few different ways to really view the word. What is family? What does the word mean, what does the word stand for. Those are questions I ask myself every time I think of that word. I believe that the word family is defined in the simply way that a person’s family consists of those that are the closest and most important to them. For some people, that includes their mom and dad, their brother and sister. Some people include their dog or maybe even the fish they adopted in an elevator. Other people though can define their family by their best friend, their significant other, the friend that always seems to be there when needed most, the teacher that opened their eyes to whatever new idea. I believe that a person’s family consists of the people that bring warmth and happiness to their heart.
With that idea in mind though, there are people out in the world I am sure that would contradict what I said above. There are people who will say that the word family is limited only to the people that share each other’s blood. A mother, father and their children. Some specific examples I might use in my paper will definitely be the media. Most likely I will try to find some songs and newspaper articles to support my essay.
