Abstract

Family is the seed of civilizations and as we all know, the basic unit of society. This is where one’s growth is expected to start and it is the parents who are tasked to establish a foundation to their children. Society however is the bigger picture, but with a different setting as people follow laws, observe ethics, and work for their living, with a Government that ensures mobilization of all resources within its scope of authority. This study revolved around issues that have affected societies and challenges that have been faced by families, and the author’s recommended solution. The results show that overpopulation, poverty, road traffic congestion, and failed marriage among others are detrimental to the environment, social well-being of people, and the economy. It was further determined that such societal and family issue has serious negative implications to the holistic development of a child and to his future, thus, affecting quality of life in the entire society.  

The researcher also found out that societal issues are linked to the challenges faced in a family, thus, challenges experienced in families once solved could solve societal issues, and vice versa. It is concluded that a National Policy that strictly observe responsible Life Planning and Family Building would solve the issues. Amendment of Laws that would prevent the creation of the said National Policy is highly suggested.
