September 26, 2011- Family Systems Theory

I like the idea of subsets within the family.  I think unity is so important, whether it is within the family, within an appartment, a ward, a class, etc. etc.  The whole idea of unity within a certain group is that the unity within a small a group will then be extended out to create unity to the bigger group it is a part of.  This is how I view the concept of subsets in a family.  Each subset works together to create the family as a whole and make it what it is.  For example, in my family I identified several different subsets.  Just a few of them are the subset of my two parents, the two sister subset, the brother subset, the sibling subset, the boy subset consisting of the two boys and my dad, the girls subset, my sister and I and my mom, etc. etc. etc.  Within my family of 6 I identified over 15 subsets.  As we become unified with each other on different levels our whole family become unified.
