family values in the 17th century
As the twenty-first century is off to a start, many thing have changed. Since the seventeenth century morals and values are very different. Divorce, abortion, and single parent families at that time were unheard of. Growing up in a 'world' where homosexuality and cross dressing are seen in our daily routines, it's hard to understand where the idea of this structured society we live in came from. The values we hold to be important, the friends, and roles we take on in our families make up who we are. It seems that we are brought up in a world that has a set system we are supposed to abide by.

Many customs that we base our daily lives on have transcended from the ideas of these times. This was especially a way for people to create a community of families that boned other people with the same beliefs together. Religion was a way of life during the seventeenth century. We are always gong to be expressing our beliefs about something, hopefully just as affluent as Franklin an Emerson.
