Abstract
Communication in the contemporary American family has not broken down; it exists, but not always for beneficial purposes. Communication and cooperation are also indispensable for hostile interaction. Wherever two people have anything to do with each other, they communicate and cooperate fully, although it may be in their agreement to fight each other. Non‐verbal communication is far more extensive and intensive than communication on the verbal level. Words are often used to conceal the meaning of actions, and in the case of conflicts, they become means of warfare. The democratic evolution with its concommitent process of equalization increases conflicts within the family; consequently, communication within the family consists to a large extent in mutual indications of the means best suited to defeat each other.
