Some curriculum developers are advocating for redefinition of what a family is for the sake of the young kids from single parent homes.

And elsewhere the Oxford dictionary is contemplating redefining marriage.

The family isn't being redefined, it has already redefined itself, and it's redefining itself at a very rapid rate. Our educators and dictionaries may even be lagging behind. In fact they are lagging behind.

Am sure it incorporates akina Adam and Steve....

No sir,

You have said it has already redefined itself at a rapid rate. So its still there. Or are you thinking of future?

I'm talking about now. No one has control of definition any more. But maybe some will see this 'in the future'.

Kids from single parent families are wondering why are the pictures in the textbooks have mom and dad and watoto. If theirs has one parent missing then is it not a family?
Others are asking if nanny/maid etc are to be included cause they refer to the as aunty.
So for the purpose of them they want to have pictures/illustration of single parenthood as a family.

Hiyo yao si ni 'single parent family'. Shida ya definition iko wapi sasa?

Kama ni picha tu waongezwe haraka before akina Steve hijack hii maneno.

Ok, though it is still being controlled. What about the future? Is there a future?

'Future' depends on 'self consciousness'. It's being created by the kind of dialogue we're having.

But so far, no one is controlling the definition, most are trying to, but the results are a failure. With DOMA (defense of marriage act) gone, the gates have been thrown wide open.

The puzzle is how humanity will handle the conversation.

While humanity progresses on the basis of what came before, our ancestors, symbols and our interpretations are bound to change, and they've always changed.

Like now, the economic experience in the family is changing. So are roles and expectations. But it's still about being human. We can also be sure the solutions will have to come from the past. Like Plato and Socrates, even Pythagoras may be brought back to life for advice; if it hasn't happened already.
