A.“The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest — schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern — will never be enough."
Lyndon Baines Johnson

“A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.”
Henrik Ibsen quotes (Major Norwegian playwright of the late 19th century, 1828-1906)


B. Lyndon Baines Johnson express that a family is an essential thing to have and if broken it’s the children that usually get afflicted and nothing else will be able to restore them. Johnson also goes on to say that if one family in the community can’t hold itself up then where’s the hope in the rest of the community and it cripples down knowing that it doesn’t have the essential cornerstone to stay up.
Henrik Ibsen confirms that everyone that’s a member of the community must pull their own weight in it, and all the members must work together to keep the residence up and running. For example if one person neglects to do their part the whole community would come crashing down, and that everyone should be ready to take control.

C.Ibsen’s quote can relate to today because most communities have to work together in order to keep the community safe and strong, one person in the community wouldn’t be able to do all the work by themselves, and this is why you would need everyone to take control.
Johnson’s quote is relevant to today’s society because countless families have split apart and many children have been damaged, because of that communities fall down. If u can’t keep a small family together it would be very challenging to keep a whole community together.
