Family Problems

Family has been the oldest way of life. Since the beginning of civilization families were formed and that is what has led us to this point today. This also answer one QUESTion of my own which is what forms us and I believe our family and friends are what make us the people we are. Today family problems are very common, the rate of divorce is each time higher. This leads me to believe that families are unhappier now than before but by reading some myths I realized that the only difference is before divorce was not an option. “During his absence his wife Clytemnestra had been false to him, and when his return was expected, she with her paramour, Ægisthus, laid a plan for his destruction, and at the banquet given to celebrate his return, murdered him.” It is very clear that Clytemnestra was not happy with her husband so she took to a more radical strategy which was killing him. When reading this I thought that divorce was a very good thing because if two people aren’t happy together then they shouldn’t be together. The important thing is to maintain the family as a center for shelter and a place where you are formed.
