The family is a court of justice which never shuts down for night or day.

The family is a haven in a heartless world. (Christopher Lasch)

is a microcosm of mankind more generally. Within the family minds become organically one, and for this reason the family is total poetry.

If you want to see mankind fully, look at a family. Within the family minds become organically one, and for this reason the family is total poetry. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

is a microcosm of the class conflict in the larger society rather than having its own independent microsystem process of conflict.

Thus, for Engels, the family provided a microcosm of the class conflict in the larger society rather than having its own independent microsystem process of conflict. This introduces a basic question in conflict theory, which is, 'Does conflict in marriage and the family simply mirror a macrosocial process, or is the conflict in the family of a different kind''

is a microcosm of the universe such that the harmony that permeates the home and the family extends beyond, fostering harmony between families, communities and ultimately, the nations of the world.

The home should be perceived as a microcosm of the universe: The harmony that permeates the home and the family extends beyond, fostering harmony between families, communities and ultimately, the nations of the world. In the absence of harmony between one's own family, we can hardly expect to find harmony between strangers. Rebbe Menachem Schneerson

is a monstrous ideological machine making us blind to our most horrendous crimes -the corrupt ethical core of the American family.

The movie ends with a weird scene of family redemption : Jimmy's wife, Annabeth, draws her family tight together in order to weather the storm. In a long pathetic speech, she restores Jimmy's self-confidence by praising him as the strong and reliable head of the family, always ready to do the necessary tough things to protect the family haven. Although this symbolic reconciliation, this Aufhebung of the catastrophe of killing the wrong man, superficially succeeds (the last scene of the film shows Penn's family watching the Irish parade, restored as a 'normal' family), it is arguably the strongest indictment of the redemptive power of family ties :the lesson of the film is not that 'family ties heal all wounds,' that family is a safe haven enabling us to survive the most horrendous traumas, but, quite the opposite, that family is a monstrous ideological machine making us blind for the most horrendous crimes we commit. (Zizek 2005a : 4)
