For some, the ties to family are strong. Family can define us- physically- through family resemblance, physical attributes and mannerisms; values, morals and beliefs; culture; the list can be endless. What was traditionally identified as family has changed over time and this too, has impacted on the way in which society and individuals see the family. What is interesting to consider is the binding of the individuals in a family and how these influence others. These 'bindings' can agitate and excite or can be placid and collected.
