These changes may include: divorce, death, adoption, foster children, and substance abuse. Any of these factors could cause a family to reevaluate their family values. Family values ​​are a funny thing. Many times family values ​​are contradictory. Values ​​are constantly contradictory to each other. For example, families might say they value their children's education but don't value individualism. Education means individualization of people. Many families don't want their children to leave relatives behind, but they still want their children to have a higher education. High education and individualism involve sacrifice. No matter how hard families try, there will always be contradictions in their family values. Families will want one thing for their children, but will want another value that contradicts it
