Does blood relations mean anything?

Question

I read about a murderer in the papers and his mother stood up for him saying he was her precious son. That man took 3 lives ... ...
In this day and age where everyone is supposed to be independent, it is easy for a family member to want preferential treatment because of blood relations. Yet such a system would erode away since now people are less inclined to be responsible!

There is also working in the family where a family member would be putting more work than any non blood relations simply because he is family - thus the guilt trip.
Is this guilt trip justifiable?

Cases can come up when one family member says to the potential family employee that he should do more using words like, "I am your Uncle," yet there had never been much communication or personalities are very different.

If you were never close to your relatives due to generation gap, character differences/other reasons or the relationship ended - do you owe them anything?

Answer 1

No, if you didn't have a close relationship to your relatives, you do not owe them anything just because they are your 'blood relations'.

Answer 2

That is one of the worst-worded questions I've ever read. But, let's look at the cases one at a time.

1) The woman was standing up for her son. I tend to feel that mass murderers don't just "happen", they are created from childhood. I imagine that the mother was in deep denial, not only about her son, but also about what happened when he was a child to cause him to do something like that.

2) I'm not sure what "system" you are talking about or how it relates to the story of the mother. The court system can't give preferential treatment to people simply because they have a mother. Everyone has a mother. What's your point?

3) An employer gives more work to an employee that is a blood relative rather than someone else. Where does the guilt trip come in? Is it that the relative can't get all the work done and feels guilty? The employee/employer relationship has to come first and the employee needs to talk to the employer about the work situation.

4) This makes no sense. The nephew is working for the uncle and wants the uncle to acknowledge the family relationship publicly because the nephew feels it will help his career? Very odd.

5) Do you owe your relatives anything? I don't know. I suppose that's up to you.

If any part of your question made any sense I could probably write a better answer.

Answer 5

i dont really know what youre asking but, i stick up for my fam even if i havent seen or heard from them in a while. but the thing about backing them up if the killed people is kinda pointless. the legal system is set. if everyone got off because their momma started crying then no one would get sentenced.
