Originally, an icebreaker had been used to describe a ship specially designed to break through ice so that it, or other ships coming behind, can navigate on frozen seas. However, it is now used to call remarks or behaviors which break awkward silence among people. A game, remark, activity, humorous anecdote, etc., designed to relax a group of people to help them get to know each other is called an icebreaker also. In western culture, an icebreaker is very commonly used with talking about light topics such as weather, hobbies, travels, sports, music and etc. On the other hand, in our society, the icebreaking culture has not been improved much, because of mainly our historic background which has constantly molded us to be very sensitive to identifying friend or foe through uncountable invasions or attacks from other cultures. In our culture, once we become ‘us’ identifying our national and socio-cultural identity, we are treated to be in an identical and collective existence. We don’t call my mother ‘my mother’, but rather we call my mother ‘OUR mother’. My family is called ‘OUR family’ and even my wife/husband is called ‘OUR wife/husband’. The first person singular pronoun has not been developed at all but the first person plural pronoun has been used widely in our culture. One simple and confident question often asked ‘you are not a stranger, aren’t you?’ rules almost everything in our relationship, with strong belief that the person is inside our community and belongs with us. On the contrary, someone who is not one of us is regarded as a foe, who we should stay away from in a wide distance. So, we must not say hello to the person whom we are not acquainted with like being commonly practiced in western cultures. It means that no icebreaker should exist at all between us and the strangers. Accordingly, icebreaking culture has been scarcely developed in our culture historically. This scant of an icebreaker is equally applied to relationship among family members living in the same culture. There are many dysfunctional families in our society, which are difficult to be called families in substance, just forming a family only based on biological or legal relationships. No communication at all among family members makes each family member feel awkward or indifferent and such their awkward behavior makes them isolated from each other. There are some reasons for no communication among family members. First of all, not enough time to see each other mainly due to their busy lifestyles requiring most of their time on personal agenda rather than family matters. When they meet by chance from time to time, some words essentially needed are all what they exchange to each other. Secondly, in case wherein family members have conflicts. When conflicts among family members arise for any reasons, the frequency or the duration of conversations among them naturally diminish. They want to even avoid meeting, let alone communicating each other. They know well that conversation can push the button of other family member, which often leads them to worse situation. Thirdly, in case when they don’t know how to communicate each other with what kind of topic, mainly stemming from scant of experiences as well as learning on good communication. Lastly, in case when there are significant unbalance in positions of family members. The status of father looks like a master, while mother and children are considered slaves, or mother’s authority is equal to that of the God, coming from father’s incompetence, whose condition makes father and children feel absolutely ignored. Communication should be carried out on the same level of status of people involved in it, but no communication can be done with the considerable gap in the positions of family members like this. When no communication among family members is performed regardless which reason out of ones mentioned above is applied to, an icebreaker should be set afloat. An icebreaker as a vessel breaks the ice under the immense weight of the ship by driving its bow up onto the ice. To this end, an icebreaker has the stern angle of around 20 degree smaller than that of normal ships in order to mount up onto the ice, playing a role of driving the heavy vessel up onto the ice easily. Our family icebreaker should have a small stern angle to break the ice frozen among family members, which are comprised of two things; the open atmosphere and the natural topics everybody can be involved in easily. It is advised to have conversations to know each other with easy as well as simple topics everybody can say something on at special event days when family members get together to celebrate something like birthday, marriage or other thing, or our family recognition day, in order to helps them to strike up frozen communication under a natural circumstances with natural topics. It is like a sluice gate through which water having blocked for long time starts flowing. What you are asked to prepare are question papers and a small bucket to put the sheets of paper into. Questions should be simple and easy to open the frozen communication, and it should be noncontentious not to trigger undesirable disputes. Here are some examples; ‘What is the movie you have been impressive most in your life? What made you feel so impressive with it?’, ‘What is the most valuable belonging to you? Why?’, ‘Who is the closest friend you have? Why?’, ‘What would you do for your living if you can choose any job? Why’, ‘To whom and what kind of award would you like to present? Why’, ‘Which place would you like to make a trip to? Why?’, ‘What happening have you been impressed with the most? What kind of impact has it made on your life?’, ‘When have you been recognized by whom? Why?’, ‘Please portray one day when you attain 70 years old.’ All of these sample questions can easily elicit what every family member has been thinking without feeling burden at all, while preventing unnecessary dispute from very sensitive issues. What should be noted is that questions should have nothing to do with any family member directly as well as not be negative. For example, a question like ‘when do you like your father most’ is not a good question with designating directly a certain member. Questions like ‘what is the biggest mistake you had made ever’ or ‘what do you hate the most?’ are negative ones. Direct questions having something to do with family member can make the environment strange or awkward, in particular, to family who have not been familiar with conversations among them. On the other hand, negative questions require negative thinking in order to answer to those questions, which can make family members have negative way of life. These two kinds of questions can make the conversation environment which should be open and free a mess irreparably. When you have good questions mentioned above, you are asked to write each of the questions on a small piece of paper. Each paper has only one question. All papers should be put into the bucket you prepared. Now each family member is asked to draw one paper with one question on it in turn and answer to the question to other family members. Through this process family members can tell what other members have in their mind, because the questions prepared are not easy to answer and not to make other member feel bad resulting from positive questions without direct relevance to any member. In order to add some fun ingredients on the process, fun game could be played on pulling out the paper. This is an icebreaking. Lots of people tend to think of very sensitive issues relating directly to family members when they are asked to have conversations concerning family. Accordingly, hasty approaches with those sensitive topics they take with the strong aim at meting the frozen relationships as soon as possible make their emotions toward others worse against expectation, which get them less attentive to and indifferent to communications. On the contrary, an icebreaker suggested at his chapter has the purpose to melt the frozen sea of communication among family members with undisputable questions each member can answer easily. Through this process, the family can feel good at having get-together with all members attending at the same time, at having fun time, playing fun games, and feel confident that they can have conversation in a positive and constructive circumstance. In addition, they begin to understand what other family members think even on the limited topics, which will be the fist phase to deepen as well as broaden the quality of their communications. Let’s set an icebreaker afloat if you have a frozen sea of communication among your family members. Communication has to be put as the number one priority in every aspect family members have to do.
