What is the family? The family has established itself as the most effective building unit of society throughout the ages. Family members help each other out of solidarity rather than in return of direct personal profit.
In principle, the family unit is built by two people and their offspring but often times, the family encompasses the parents of the couple and other close relatives. Many people consider that the tribal communal system is a remnant of antiquity, but they are at fault – the concept of family changes with the evolution of humans. Upbringing and development of people as individuals begins in the family: the foundation stones are laid here. In principle, children don't have to be pampered too much. Growing up should include increasing amount of duties, including physical labour. However, fear and superstition should not become a part of the growth process. Children need to learn the essence of things and their qualities in order to understand them. They have to learn about self-protection and danger assessment. Children should respect other people. Many people believe that their children are super gifted or underdeveloped and in both cases, they take excessive pains (exerting too much influence) in their child's upbringing. Such overdoing may turn into prerequisite for various unwanted physical and psychological deviations. Children should have a certain degree of freedom. Arguments should be avoided as much as possible when children are present. They should be thought order and cleanliness. Even small children need to partake in family decisions when important family questions are considered. In this manner, they are brought in the family deeds and become more responsible. It is important that children have their thoughts free. They don't have to agree with you all the time. Interaction with peers is important. Parents should not overdo in their cultivation attempts. Exposure to nature is desirable. Children should learn to preserve nature. Nothing should be done in excess, there has to be a balance!
Michael Jackson comes from a large family – he has many brothers and sisters, relatives, and cousins – you should find love and strong family connections. Yet, was this the case? In my view, the Jackson family is dysfunctional: perfect and united in front of people at all times, but with no real family and its functions at hand. For instance, Kathrine doesn't live with Joe for a long time, and what do they have... a paper marriage. He has a daughter from an extramarital affair! It's more than certain that some of the brothers have envied and detested Michael and Janet for many years. They wanted to become famous but failed due to their absent talent... Watching the success of their brother and sister... especially their brother Michael (when both people are of the same sex, one starts the “why I wasn't like him” refrain) – well that's what happens.
Such families exist. These things are quite “normal”, otherwise no one would sing about love, harmony, understanding, and so on. We, common people also face the spite of relatives while discussing, say, inherited property. Why do we pretend that these things happen only to them? It makes more sense when the stars experience such difficulties. After all, some of them freak out by the look of a green lizard. I think that this family disintegrated a long time ago. Maybe Michael is at fault for their alienation, due to his eccentricity, while envy played a role (as mentioned above), etc. But in their essence, they are strange from the very beginning: the early carrier, the tenacity of the father, the strange “disagreement” of the mother with their late night performance, replacing bed and school, her interference in his private life as a grown man. It has been hinted that in his early years, Michael witnessed or fell a victim (I hope not) of sexual assault, committed by one of his brothers. I won't elaborate on this hypothesis, but some think that this event has become the reason for his “particularities” and state of spirits. Joe Jackson subjected him to physical and emotional punishments. Celebrity status did not stop him from harassing them...he was their manager and found it acceptable. Joe called Michael ugly, pimpled, wide nosed, excessively dark, etc. He implanted so many inferiority complexes into his son's head... why do you think he initiated the series of surgical transformations?
Naturally, we are filled with indignation toward the family given that everyone expected different attitude – not what they did with the memory of him. This behaviour is more cruel and worse than the loathsome accusations because they were made by strangers. Here, we are talking about a true mockery by a brother and a father. So, let us not idealize the family. His mother loved him, of course, but the facts show that her love was passive, even when he was alive. She was interfering unnecessarily and due to this fact, he listened to no one.
I don't want to be so merciless as to say it, but I feel that Germane, especially, is glad about the course of events. When could he receive so much attention from media and fans... the answer is - never. Now, everyone is courting him: he works on countless projects and starts to make big money. What can I add! I saw an aggrieved brother briefly in the beginning, and I'm sure that the emotions could be attributed to the fear of the whole family that attention to them will fade away. Now, when Michael is gone, they were more concerned and suffering about their own egos. They couldn't imagine that the world will accept the course of events with so much love. Then, they started reaping the laurels and got relaxed – they saw a gold mine opening up. Everyone being composed – nonsense is to follow.
Such a large family – if they have defended him, together with his fans – and there are millions of us – could sweep the whole greedy mob that destroyed him. At the memorial, his brother Randy said that Michael was a tower of strength for the whole family. They – thickset and hefty and he – delicate, sensitive and despite that, the strongest of all – Michael had a hard time taking care of 10 people for so such a long time. Moreover, they didn`t even make an effort to help him properly (that's what I think even if I blame them incorrectly). How does it come that the people who are now shedding tears and arguing on his proper burial site left him at the hands of sly and greedy people? In my view, Michael was even more naive than the children. People with pure hearts like him always turn into victims. Sadly, there was no person on this world who could give him strength to face his problems. Even more, I sense that everyone was interested in deriving benefits, so – they made him even more addicted, as to manipulate him one hundred percent.
