Not only does it have an impact on our relationships with other people, but it also has extremely significant implications for our physical well-being.

At this crossroads, the million-dollar dilemma that emerges is whether one ought to keep one's mouth shut and serve as a silent spectator or whether one ought to take action toward reformation. Absolutely not; the harmful changes that have taken place in the system can be undone by the people because they have the ability to do so. In this setting, the family, which is an institution that is desperately needed, is in a position to play a vital role because of the circumstances that have been created.
