When you use “as” in such a context, it means “because this is what it is”. What does “Like” mean?

What is “I have to face the problem as a family”, if you say, “We have to face the problem? If you say, we face the problem like a family, then that means that you are not literally a family, but that your approach to the problem should be like the approach that a family would take. What is the best way a man (as a husband) will tell his wife about doing this like a family? A politician might say that the nation should face a problem like a family because the nation is not a family but in this case, he believes that it should act like one.

What are some loose use of the word “like” as in “as”, especially to emphasize the appropriateness of some action. People sometimes say you should ‘act like X’ when you are, in fact, X, if in the past you have not been acting like X. Someone who believes his family has been behaving inappropriately might say, “It’s time we started acting like a family again”. If someone behaves immaturely, you might say “Come on, act like a man” when he is, in fact, a man. Etc.

I think that the basic difference is that “like” introduces a comparison whereas “as” expresses identity. ) To make , it is difficult to do.
