The oxford dictionary defines “Environment” as “the conditions that affect the behaviour or development
of an individual”. It is also defined as “the particular political or social arena or conditions”. I believe no further expla- nation or clarification is needed here.
And then comes the very next question, “What is a home?” Now we all know what a home is, but have we ever actually reflected on what it really means? The Oxford Dictionarydefines the “Home” as “a place in which you live together with your family”.
With that said and done, let us now embark on this journey into the home environment of the family and how individuals in the family influence it. But before we go far, let me bring to mind the popular saying “Charity begins at home” which literally means that the good anyone does should
begin from his/her own backyard. This is a case of the effect of home environment on the individual. This slogan is usually directed towards children because they are the product of the home and I am sure that it is a unanimous agreement that in actual sense, the home revolves around them.
In Pope John Paul II’s famous book; “LETTER TO FAMILIES”, he wrote (under section 17, sub-headed FAMILY AND SOCIETY) and I quote “The family is a community of persons and the smallest social unit. As such it is an institution fundamental to life of every soci- ety”. What has been written here is a truth too dire to be ignored.
It brings to mind another famous saying; “As you make your bed so you lie on it.” because like it or not, the home is actually whatever the family members make of it and whatever decision they take not only affects the home, but by jove, the entire community and society they live in as well! In continents like Africa and Asia, the family is usually considered the
