Yes.I do agree that the family plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
Firstly,it's commonly agreed that family is the basic unit of a society,thus this shows the importance of a family to a country.
Morever,when a family prosper,the country benefit too,thus contributing to the society in another form of way.
In a proper family,parents are there to guide thier children through times of hardships and to give them guidlance from the real life experiences they encounter.
Adding on to that,I believe that parents,as the pillar of a family,should set relatively good example for their children to follow.They have the responsibility to inculcate the right values,such as integrity, into each and every of their kids.When a parent fulfill his or her responsibility,a responsible citizen is grown,thus contributing to the society. From this,i can conclude that my point,that family plays a critical role in the society,is valid.
