Thesis	Antithesis	Synthesis
The father's position (on issues) and authority establishes the thoughts and actions of the family.	The conflict and tension between the father's position and the children's feelings (desires) of the 'moment,' with the father's position influencing the children's thoughts and actions, engendering a "guilty conscience" in the children when they disobey.	The children's feelings of the 'moment' (their desire to relate with the world around them in the 'moment') rules over their thoughts and actions, as well as influences their relationship with one another. The children, in consensus with one another's feelings and thoughts, through dialectic 'reasoning,' 'justify' their feelings and thoughts over and therefore against the father's position and authority. Making the father's position irrational and therefore his authority irrelevant, the children have no "guilty conscience" for disobedience, since obedience to the father is now irrational and therefore irrelevant.
