1. Regarding the Nature of Family Life: How important is Family to the individual human experience? Is membership in a Family an essential part of what it means to be human? And, specifically, do you view the Family as:

The most important societal unit (influencing personal well-being & life choices more than any other)
Something in-between the above two options?
(Choose from the above and elaborate on your thoughts / explain your reasoning)
