The American family goes through many conflicts large and minute; which are unhealthy and should be terminated immediately. Family shares personality traits, by way of inheritance, that naturally butt up against each other. Most of these conflicts start as a confusion of role, status, or freedom within the family's bond. These could be ranging from a child not taking out the garbage to another complaining about favoritism. Even if the problem is near irrelevance, it could escalate and drive the family apart. The central reason why the disputes can’t be resolved: they can’t be fixed if they are indentified by the whole family.

            An almost lost practice that could help is to have a family meeting. The interesting thing about these is that it’s not just somewhere the family to, “duke it out,” so to say over conflicts. It is also an outlet for good things and acknowledgement of progress from something that was a problem. Charts and other devices that organize: responsibilities, family’s schedule as it pertains to others, and even feelings anonymously, are another thing that I think could help minimize the head-butting that happens in American households.
            I picked this topic randomly. So, there is no reason to worry that I’m having trouble at home. Yet, some of my ideas apply to all of us in some way, shape, or form. Plus, I think it would be fun for families to have meetings with a no pressure mood, it would bring a fresh new tone to all of our family lives.
