This week we talked a lot about family diversity. we had some interesting discussion. One that we had was whether race and ethnicity should be taken out of the family discussion. on the one had if you take it out, you stop viewing them as a black family or a Mexican family, and start helping them as a human family. On the flip side of the coin, I feel like race and ethnicity help us understand the culture they come from and why they do what they do. What do you think?
That actually is a good transition into another topic we discussed. Is any culture better than another for raising a family? I think there is. For example, some cultures believe that if you kiss that is a marriage covenant. I think that if that was the way it was, it would seriously cut down on some promiscuity and teen pregnancy would all but disappear. I think the best society (that doesn't quite exist yet) would be a pure Zion that is run by the government of God. But like I said we are little ways away from that :)
