FAMILY
The family is the basic unit of any society. Every state pays much attention to the family and gives it with all possible support. The oldest function of the family is the reproductive one. The state encourages the growth of the birth rate for a very practical reason: the more working hands a country has, the richer it is. Large families are also supported by the state. But having big population is not the aim of a country. These people should be loyal to the state, to their native country. So one more function of the family is the up-bringing one.
Both the country and the family itself are interested in having good citizens of the country and good members of the family. Parents realize quite well that children should be brought up on the values of the society, otherwise they would never feel comfortable among people.
The family is the place where people feel protected and comfortable. The family get together in joys and sorrows, it possesses an ability to heal wounds and pains. It is the only place where people can feel really secure and relaxed in spite of all problems which exist in every family or in the majority of families.

POLITICAL SYSTEM OF GREAT BRITAIN
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. The constitution is not codified. It is formed by statute, by common law and by conventions.
The power in the country is separated in three branches: the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary.
The Crown is the supreme power in the three branches. The sovereign is also the head of the established Church of England and is commander in chief of the armed forces. In practice, however, the present queen, Elizabeth I, acts only on the advice of her ministers and cannot reject or ignore their advice.
The head of the government is the prime minister. The prime minister is the leader of the majority party in Parliament and has the power to appoint and dismiss ministers. The prime minister selects a Cabinet of ministers. The Cabinet develops the government’s policies, which are presented as proposed legislation to Parliament, and exercises control over government departments.
The supreme legislative power is the Parliament. It consists of two houses the House of Lords and the House of Commons. After the reform of 2005 the House of Lords consists of 780 members. They are partly elected, partly appointed. The House of Commons consists of 650 members. They are elected for five years in general elections. The term of office of the Lords is 5 years. The main function of the Parliament is to make laws.
The judicial system of Great Britain consists of five tiers: the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, the High Court, the Crown and County courts and magistrate courts.
