  Family values - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family values is a political buzzword first used in the United States in 1966 to describe a set of moral guidelines for defining the "proper" structure and role of a family and its members, supported by appeals to tradition.
Typically, "family values" is employed as a code word for Christian values as put forth by some groups of American Christians who see their religion as the sole source of morality and consider the nuclear family to be an essential element in society.
The use of "family values" as a political term became widespread after a 1992 speech by Vice President Dan Quayle that attributed the Los Angeles riots to a breakdown of family values.

 Platform -- Family Values
By bringing individual and family life into accord with natural law, we can largely erase the present epidemic of family breakdown and moral decay and create a society in which parents, children, families, and society mutually nourish and strengthen each other in their growth toward fulfillment.
The family is the source of life for every individual, and as such is the primary training ground for social behavior.
By strengthening and reenlivening the family from the inside, and by eliminating the stress attacking the family from the outside, the Natural Law Party gives parents the opportunity to reawaken universal family values in their children and thus secure a bright future for our nation.

 Family Values, Race, Feminism, and Public Policy
There is an implication that fl families, especially those headed by single mothers, do not share the values of the rest of society and do not pass on to their children the kinds of values that most Americans believe are important.
Thus, while the family values rhetoric demonizes fl mothers, it ignores the challenges these mothers meet on a daily basis to instill values of pride and self-esteem that are as important to their children's survival as any other values assumed to enjoy widespread acceptance.
Although most feminists would probably agree that the cry of "family values" is at least in part a response to a perceived threat to patriarchy, feminist theory seems to be reluctant to confront the issue of patriarchy head on.

This results in much frustration on Debbie's part and as a temporary measure she refuses to allow Uncle Fester to see his family.

 Family Values [pp. 1, 16]
The Christian right has made this such an issue that political candidates have been conditioned to believe that mentioning family values frequently in their campaign speeches is an easy way to score points with voters.
Of course, if a candidate also associates "family values" with the so-called biblical principles on which our country was founded, he is certain to score even more points with the Christian right.
The duplicity of this political tactic is twofold: (1) our country was not founded on "biblical principles," and (2) the "family values" found in the Bible are completely contrary to what the religious right supposedly stands for.

The issue of family values was badly mishandled by the Republicans and deliberately misconstrued by the press and the Democrats (often not distinguishable), such that mere mention of the phrase provoked derisive charges of narrow-minded gay-bashing and hostility to single mothers.
After all, the breakdown of traditional family structures, from extended to nuclear, has long been understood to be a disease of advanced industrial countries and not of nations just emerging from their agricultural pasts.
The strength of traditional family values is most evident among immigrants from East and South Asia, where mutually supportive family structures have long been credited as the basis for their economic success.

However, "family values" is a misleading and partisan term, used by groups that champion a particular model of family -- specifically, one based on male headship and female subordination.
Shifting ideologies involving the family and "family values" are generally coded messages about women and how they should behave in relation to men.
Such messages are inspired by the assumption that women have departed from their proper role in the family through some recent corrupting influence, and must be persuaded and/or coerced back into that role by a combination of insistent propaganda (by religious and political leaders) and political policy.

 ADF: Protecting Family Values - Alliance Defense Fund - Defending Our First Liberty
Family values are the ideals and beliefs that support and give strength to this traditional definition of a family.
Sadly, many radical activist groups in the U.S. are attempting to twist the law to change the definition of the family to include same-sex "marriage," polygamy, and other structures.
These groups scoff at the idea that there is any set of values or beliefs that is generally good for families or culture.

 Angry Bear   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But Alito's opinion regarding the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), signed into law in 1993 by Bill Clinton, also seems deserving of close scrutiny - particularly since it highlights one of my greatest frustrations regarding political stereotypes: the notion that conservatives are better defenders of family values than liberals are.
By setting a minimum standard of family leave for all eligible employees, irrespective of gender, the FMLA attacks the formerly state-sanctioned stereotype that only women are responsible for family caregiving, thereby reducing employers' incentives to engage in discrimination by basing hiring and promotion decisions on stereotypes.
(This suggests something bizarre about the conservative notion of family values, by the way: it seems that families spending time together is of secondary concern to business profitability.) But it turns out that economists studying this issue have generally found that family leave does not hurt businesses' bottom line, or economic growth more generally.

Arnold is a World War II veteran who loves sci-fi stories, astronomy and technology, and it was his family camera that Spielberg, as a boy, used for making homemade action films.
Still, the pain that young Spielberg felt over his family's breakup and his desire to be more attentive to his own children have resonated in his movies, often under the guise of fantasy.
In that film, the sled — which is the only one of three made that wasn't burned in the final scene — represented the innocence of youth that the character Charles Foster Kane longed for despite his lifetime of wealth and success.

Both possible meanings of "family values" are ludicrous.
The meaning of the actual phrase used, "family values", would imply some sort of family-friendly values.
Perhaps they mean values like "giving your husband a REAL heart attack this time" or "being sure your kids have a stroke before you do." Clearly, the term "family values" has about as much meaning for advertisers as it does for politicians who hide anti-family policies behind it.

 AFA - about us
The American Family Association represents and stands for traditional family values, focusing primarily on the influence of television and other media – including pornography –; on our society.
AFA believes that the entertainment industry, through its various products, has played a major role in the decline of those values on which our country was founded and which keep a society and its families strong and healthy.
During that time we have suffered a dramatic increase in teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and abortion as a means of birth control.
