%EXTENDED FAMILY INTEGRITY COMMUNAL SUPPORT NEGLECT 930428

     A contributing factor   to the  disintegration of the
United  States  in  recent  years  has been  the   neglect
of   the  extended family.   Compulsive interest in  other
ideals   and  values    has    undermined   interest    in
maintaining    the integrity of extended  families   which
have   historically  played important roles  in  promoting
personal  and communal integrity.   Formal aspects of  the
political,   religious and business  community  have given
insufficient attention  to the important roles which  used
to    be  played  by  extended  families  in  raising  and
nurturing  each  new  generation.   The  revolutions    in
science,    technology,    transportation,  communication,
housing,    work-place,    manufacturing, education,   and
other   aspects   of  communal  life  have undermined  the
structures  of   extended  families;     leaving  isolated
parents  with the task of raising  children  in a  hostile
environment      with     inadequate     support       and
encouragement.
