"The family is the nucleus of civilization"-this phrase was written by William J.Durant. I agree with this statement. In my view, a civilization is a cultural society. And where is the culture born? The culture of communication, behavior and good manners should be learnt from the childhood. Man become a part of society at a young age, from birth. His family is his first small society. This is where he begins to know the culture of communication. Subsequently, the parents teach us how to live in a cultural society. In my opinion, it all depends on parents. As initially they have taught you, so you will live. Everyone is a part of the civilization. Civilization is a culture that instilled in us from our childhood in the family. That's why the family is the nucleus of civilization.
