Let us imagine if there was not a family system, no there is no harm in imagining. I think this would be some thing like living in a jungle with other animals. You know what! We do most of the things we do for the sake of our families. I can feel the way a singe would feel with no responsibilities. They would go eat whatever they would fined to eat and they will spend time with whosoever comes there way. You know man is not as good an animal as other animals are. The other animals still maintain good relations with their kids than man and protect them until they are grown enough but I do not expect the same from human. They will leave their offshoot simply on the mercy of no one in particular. Or I might be wrong on this point a man would take better care if he has no family ways but only has to enjoy the life. I am so confused that I shall leave it here and would let it ponder over my mind allover again.

well family is a universal social institution and an integrating force too.Whereas i think it act as a safety valve that absorb humans pent up anger and frustration for the outer world but sustain the balance of life.World will go wild without family with no terms and condition & no law and order.It is a utopian idea .

Imagining a world without family , YA IT WOULD BE COOL I might sound eccentric but that's I feel personally . Without families , there wouldn't be any babies . With no babies , adults wouldn't have any long term financial responsibilities in their lives . So they can live life happily without thinking responsibilities . That will give them a very happy and peaceful life . Because of this , people can enjoy life thoroughly and buy what ever they want instead of spending their money on their children . Also they can save a lot of money for their future . By this , the population in this world will also decrease . This will reduce pressure on our resources and help increase the quAlity of the population as the government can provide better facilities to people if there are lesser people . But not having families does not cease to end the human race because many people still will have relationships . So at least their children will live in a world with lesser competition , greed and selfishness .

Personally there are people out there that can truly say they have never really had a family, as they were raised in a Orphanage or something, and then those who wish they would have not been raised in the home they were and by the family they had. So in reality there is Good and bad in it for sure. But overall a family life is important, and part of the thing that helps a child learn about life, and what it needs to know. For me if there were no Families there would not be a need for children, and if there were there would be more mass confusion, etc. and users out there than there are.

I can not imagine this, in my opinion it would be just too frywolnie.Dzieki the institutions we are taught from the very beginning of attachment to another person, the more we try to make our family have not broken up, and so is any scandal, misunderstandings right away we could change her partner, we feel too slow, although do not claim that the family is an institution denies freedom, but rather the learning of a certain stability, which gives peace and safety!
