The members of a given family are likely to have shared values that make them distinct from individuals of the other families. Shared values are the basis that makes other families within the society identify and define each family. For instance, a family that is renowned for its honesty, the virtue is likely to be attributed to all the members if the society has continuously held that perception for some time. Similarly, if several individuals from a given family are involved in deviance matters, they are likely to taint the family name in the society (Sotomayor-Peterson et al., 2012). The community is made up of different families that are brought together using strategies that are defined by family values. Communities are known to have shared values in most cases. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the whole concept of shared family values. There can be no such concept as shared family
