I need help in two essays.

In each spot on earth people through the past until the present have places to live in and get their sustenance from. These places are called homes. People in this life have different views and perspectives on homes so homes are defined differently based on the person. Although some may argue that homes are places where people relax and get their sustenance, home is the origin where we formalize our values and manners because it the only place that we own. This is not very clear, as I am not sure what you asserting. Many people do not own their homes. Does the physical space create your values?

Home is not just a place to live. It is a place where we receive our education, values, and manners. Homes are the places that shape us to be who we are during our life. In addition, our personalities have been affected by homes. Also, the cultures, traditions, and beliefs that we receive from the home that we live in would remain with us until we leave this life. However, we could get all of those things from one place, which is home; individuals whom live with us are the one who give it to us. It sounds like you are arguing that your definition of home is family. This should be in your first paragraph (develop introduction and thesis statement). What type of family? Are you arguing that in your country it is more common to live with extended family members? Is this a good thing…why? Looking later in your essay, it seems that you are really discussing homes in Saudi Arabia. Why don’t you make this the focus of your essay, but you need to use three credible sources.

Family is the one or group of people whom are responsible for our traditions and values. Without a family we cannot live the same life that we live now, because since our childhood they were planting the values and ethics that we gained now. Family is a blessing that we have to take care of for the rest of our lives. However, family is not just the parents and siblings. Family is each person whom we lived and grew up with. So family is home because we received everything that we know now from the people who lived in that place, which called home.

Since we defined home as the family that we have. Each person in this life has the right to own a home. In order to have a family you have to have a home. Home and family are two things that tight to each other so that means they are connected. Homes should be places that no one can control but the owner. Homes are places to express our feelings, believes, and to be who we are with our family. Moreover, homes are the safest place for the people whom live in it so what happens when you lose the sense of trust on something? You will not take your comfort in that place whatever happens. No one in this life has the right to enter a home and control it for any reason.

In general, there are many things that should be in home to make it suitable for the family whom live in it. For example, each person in the family must have an enough space to make him or her comfortable. Another thing is there should be some things that represent the past of each person. For example, pictures, childhood games, or a place where children were spending there time playing. Also, there should be supplies that the family believes. For example, for religion purposes Muslims must pray five times a day so they have to have a place to pray in, although there are mosques outside homes. And for cultural reasons Saudis have to have a dining room that they can sit on the floor and eat.

No doubt, the definition of home varies from people’s perspective from country to another. As a person who lived in Saudi Arabia and living in the United States I saw many differences in homes between Saudi Arabia and United States. In Saudi Arabia the homes are bigger and have more spaces compared to the United States. A member is required to be in home with the family until he or she gets married, and even if he or she wants to stay after marrying at the same home that they lived in they are welcomed. For example, Suzan Zawawi a Saudi wife who is living with her family in law. Says (I live in a complex in the first floor, and my brother in law lives in the second floor with his wife. Also, my father in law lives in the house that next to us). That means there are group of people even after marrying they still live together at the same house. In the United States the situation is different most members are welcomed to be at home until the age of 18 then the member from his self or herself starts thinking of moving to another place to live. However, in Saudi Arabia it is hard to find an affordable place to live in beside the house you live in, the opportunities are much less than the United States. In Saudi Arabia an apartment costs more than third of your monthly income and sometimes the half. On the other hand in the United States its costs less. In Saudi Arabia usually the person does not own home until he or she gets married and the home is preferred to be near the family members work and school. But due to financial problems people does not think about this thing as a priority in these days. In the United States the supply and demands are much more higher so you have better chance to find a good place near what you want.

It is right that there are many people whom believe that our homes are just to relax and to do nothing; we cannot reject them because they grew up with lack of family association. Moreover, having a lack of understanding what does home mean is really serious problem that we need to take care of. Educating is not an impossible thing to do, we just need to target the people whom do not understand the concept of home is and teach them in good way that satisfies them.

In conclusion, homes are not just places to get our relaxation and daily needs from. Homes are places that we gain our traditions, values, and manners from. Also, we receive our education from the individuals whom we lived with. There are many differences based on people on how to describe what home means. In addition, we live in a huge world that contains many cultures that we almost cannot count; this thing leads to the diversity of the current cultures.
