Solution
Two reasons for the family is said to be a site of bitter conflicts are:
- Conflicting Interests: In a family, there may be competing interests or ambitions between family members, which can lead to arguments and disputes. For instance, parents might expect their kids to follow a particular career route, even though the kids might have other objectives. Similarly to this, competition among siblings for their parent's love and approval may result in bitterness and jealousy.
- Power Struggle: Power dynamics that cause conflicts are a common feature of family interactions. For instance, when parents are strict with their children, it might cause them to feel burdened and restless. Similar arguments over distribution or property rights may arise in large families.
