Kinship
Kinship is described as a connection by blood, marriage, or adoption. Basically, it is your family relationship. Kinship is very important in some countries; primarily the middle east. There your whole world is wrapped around your family. There your family is the most important thing. Americans today can't wait to get away from their families and live on our own. In Iraq the families move in next door to each other, otherwise they feel lonely.

I agree that Americans today (mostly young adults) are all so driven to the day that they get to move away from their parents. I myself do not feel this way. I do not want to move away from my parents but I know that it is a part of life. I am not necessarily counting down the days until I move out, but I know that it will happen eventually. Reading the articles for this week really broadened my views of the term "blood is thicker than water."
