From the Paper:

"The family has been billed as the building block of society, and the foundational element of organized societies. While differing cultural alliances have argued the importance of the family unit the weight of historical evidence has been accumulating. In societies, which have a strong nuclear family, and similar inter-generational ties, that society has demonstrated a greater tendency toward educational progress, economic advancement, and cultural staying power. These elements are not defined by American or western civilization's terms. Examples of strong families can be found in China, Japan, and nations on all points of the globe."
