If you have an argument at home, chances are you will have one at work. If you feel unsupported at home, your friends are likely to abandon you. If you are uncooperative, unreliable and disrespectful at home, you carry that same energy everywhere you go. Home is the foundation of everything we see and do in the world and relationships. For people of Colour, culture mandates that one make home the primary concern of the heart. The heart creates love, support, cooperation, nurturing and peace. Home is our first school. Let us put our hearts, minds, bodies and souls back into the home as our first step towards eliminating the violence in the streets.

Having read through the statement -It stating the obvious its very straight forward and can be easily achieved but in today’s society we take such things for granted and only on focus our energy on superficial things and the stress of work, money ect. Looking at in more in depth - all of the facts can relate back to all religions and cultures. It’s something which has been very much neglected.
