As the sun brightly shines on the scene, two young children happily play on the abundant, green grass. The younger of the two is female, but one would hardly be able to tell by her appearance, for she dons a tattered tat-tered pair of shorts, a soiled shirt, bare feet, and cropped hair. The escapades of the morning have greatly changed the two children's appearance; gone is hair neatly combed and sprayed, to be replaced replac-ed by windblown locks. Gone are the shoes carefully tied, and the shirts neatly tucked. Instead the children display a carefree attitude as they climb the flowering trees in the front yard or run and hide as they play tag among the rows of roses surrounding the yard. Each day the ritual is similar; each day holds a new adventure. One day the two children build an enormous sandcastle in the backyard, while another they nearly burn it up in their attempt to create a campfire to toast marshmallows. They create yet another adventure in the winter snow as they burrow and dig, forming caves and tunnels in which to build their own secret kingdom. These children are grown now, but the happy memories remain. One of the duo is in a foreign country, coun-try, but he often thinks of home. The other is preparing to leave for the first time, to go far across the country to college, and as she prepares to leave, these vivid memories keep flooding to the surface. sur-face. The foundation for these poignant poig-nant memories was the home, the place that housed the family and was a source of so much happiness. Cisero said, "What is more agreeable than one's home?" The home provides stability and happiness hap-piness for the family. More than a place to sleep and eat, it is the unifying uni-fying force within the family. It provides a pleasant place for the family to spend its leisure hours; it gives children a safe place to play. The family is the foundation of society. It gives stability to the individual in-dividual who will then be able to contribute to society and their nation na-tion as a whole. The home gives each individual the proper environment environ-ment in which to develop which in turn strengthens the nation. "In love of home, the love bf country has its rise." Charles Dickens. It is at home that children learn respect for each other and for their elders. In this nuturing environment environ-ment parents teach their children values and instruct them how to properly behave. Children learn how to share; they find that everyone is much happier when all cooperate together. This is an essential lesson for later life. Parents also teach their offspring to be responsible for certain tasks. What begins as a small responsibility, respon-sibility, such as cleaning one's room, escalates as the child matures. Soon the adolescent learns to manage school responsibilities, respon-sibilities, employment, and community com-munity commitments. Without the proper environment, people would be unable to develop their values and opinions and contribute to and be a healthy member of society. Anwar al - Sadat said, "There can be hope only for a soceity which acts as one big family, and not as many separate ones." "It is the ownership of a home which encourages involvement, in-volvement, and the values learned at home make this, involvement productive and helpful for society." Julie Stewart Once the individual develops this sense of unity, this sense of values via his family, he can become a member of the functioning society. Lessons learned at home are now applied to the local community through one's employment, church, and civic organizations. The cooperation, respect, and concern for others which are all components com-ponents of the family extend outwards, out-wards, encompassing all aspects of life. As the individual becomes active ac-tive in the community, he also becomes more aware of the issues which effect the community, both local and extended. Education, public safety, conservation, and local politics among other issues gain importance once the individual in-dividual has established himself in his area of residence. He now feels more of a connection to society and acts accordingly, becoming active by voting, attending debates and . other community events. It is the ownership of a home which en- i courages involvement, and the values learned at home make this involvement productive and helpful for society. Oliver Goldsmith said, "His first, best country ever is, the home." Indeed, In-deed, the home is the center of the nation, the foundation of society. It is the site of happy memories, of celebration, and of togetherness. The home provides a source for learning valuable lessons and morals. As the family matures, the individuals in the home are able to lend their abilities to the community; communi-ty; they strengthen their societies and their nation with their experiences ex-periences learned within the home. The unity the individual learns within the family is extended to society. Thus, the family and home are the most essential components in society, and are the source of unending fond memories for the individual.
