FAMILY VALUE

2002-06-20

That is wonderful that Mr John Anderson has started talking

at the NSW National Party Conference about deterioration of

family values. He said that today’s generation had become

self-indulgent and selfish. But he missed the point.

His explanation that “the permissive sixties and everything

that flowed from it has seen a massive erosion of traditional

family values in Australia” is poor and inadequate. Perhaps

he should remind himself what’s been causing that and why

exactly social revolution has happened in the sixties?

That was the time when young people started to see traditional

family and political values as hypocrisy, lies and discrimination.

That’s why, particularly young population have been fed up with that.

Men valuated those values and politicians were blind to see,

that family environment could no more compare with economical,

social and political demands among Australian communities.

Through the centuries women were treated with restrictions and negligence.

Their role was brought to care for the home, cleaning, cooking, washing,

looking after the kids and simply be a slave to the master of the

house who was the husband. Women didn’t have too much opportunity

before the sixties in Australia. Their voices as citizens have never had

the same importance like men. Mr Anderson and the National Party

have plenty to explain. Where their predecessors have been and what

they’ve done in a party line to change very discriminatory law, when

women and children were abused, exploited and disadvantaged?

Secondly I like to know, what is the meaning of traditional family values?

In that respect, what parents in these days’ can do if their hands are tied

and they don’t have much room for responsibility in looking after the

family, left by the law. The law, which ofcourse is made by politicians.

In that case Mr Anderson should focus his remarks in a different direction.

Because in a family background parents or I should say majority of the

parents do the best what is in their power to insure that their kids and

family all together have everything from love to money. Looking after

family in the 21^st century is basically done by money, because we can’t

survive without it. Everywhere money, we can’t live without them, we

can’t die without them.  Supporting family these days are very difficult,

what often pushes families over the boundary of love and respect. Because

it is much harder to meet the demands of all family members starting

from kids and finish onto grandparents. Reality is, that we acknowledged

that everyone’s needs should be respected, appreciated and cherished.

That wasn’t the case in the past.

Finally everybody can see, that we are living in a very commercially

competitive world and that makes us more selfish, because if you won’t

be the winner, nothing will be left for the losers. Who wants to be a loser?

I would like to see that Mr Anderson and the National Party not only

criticize our family values but also show us how we could improve that

for the better, if we have only in power establishment, who are example

of selfishness, dishonesty, ignorance and untruthfulness. People like

Mr Anderson should stop blaming sixties for failure of traditional family

values and ethics. Simply family principles are about to understand and

support each other by respecting and recognizing rights or needs everyone

in a household ground.
