International Day Of The Family by ESheriff1(m): 2:01pm On May 15, 2016
I woke-up today and (Thanks to my itel device and it's fantastic calendar) behold I saw a notification of the 'International Day of the Family' before i even heard of it anywhere else, I was first amazed at such great stunt my phone could pull-through -I discovered it got the info from the clouds on sync, and I was also happy it was a Sunday-my sleep day.


But beyond this early morning euphoria, the event so notified pushed my mind into a deep reflection on what significance the family really holds in the 21st century where the odds and defiant values of a time are fast becoming norms and symbols of high-valued civilization . Of all the menaces plaguing the family as a social unit/institution I casted my mind particularly at the speedily growing trend of so-called 'Baby Mama' and 'Baby Daddy' ,which is a very unhealthy unit for proper socialization, especially pervasive among high-classed individuals and celebrities regarded by the world as epitomes of success and are supposed mentors or role models of many. This crop of people are inadvertently distorting the original model of what the family should be. Other than them, ordinary people mostly those who hold them in very high-esteem, are trailing this vicious path as evidenced by appalling statistical estimates of the acute rate of premature and premarital sex and consequent unplanned or unwanted pregnancy rates the world over. While on this, I must also appreciate the fact that other factors like dangerous customs and traditions especially in this part of the world, also contribute to the statistics but the phenomenon under focus appears to lead the list. I can't fully exhaust my thoughts on a single webpage.

The UN's designation of this day as 'the international day of family' is apt and affords us an opportunity to raise awareness of the growing threats the family is under and mobilize efforts to stem the tides for a better future. I hope things really improve. I wish you a happy international day of family and a fantastic week ahead.


Am still pretty stunned at my itel phone though. shocked
