Documentary Analysis: Libby, Montana

Two or more persons, one of whom is at least 15 years of age, who are related by blood, marriage (registered or de facto), adoption or fostering, and who are usually resident in the same household. Separate families are identified for each married or de facto couple and for each one parent family in the household (ABS, 1992b).

The Movie taught us a lot. I learned really what was causing all the people in Libby to Get sick. asbestos refers to a set of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals. Asbestos has six primary sub-classifications: chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite. Among these, chrysotile and amosite asbestos are the most common.Although asbestos fibers are microscopic in nature, they are extremely durable and resistant to fire and most chemical reactions and breakdowns. These properties of asbestos were the reasons that supported its use for many years in a number of different commercial and industrial capacities. The strength of asbestos, combined with its resistance to heat, allowed it to become the material of choice in a variety of products, including, but not limited to, roofing shingles, floor tiles, ceiling materials, cement compounds, textile products, and automotive parts. Asbestos is now strictly regulated as exposure to this toxic mineral can now be directly and scientifically linked to a number of lung and respiratory health conditions.Its really a very bad thing. It wasn't only around back in that time period of the Libby tradgedy. It is still around to this day and we have no way of controlling it. In my old high school we had it in every room and the teacher use to kid around about it but now i really know how serious it is. It is honestly nothing to joke about and there should be laws patient play for schools making them get checked and passed to be function atlas every 5 years to keep the kids safe and keep them healthy.

Family/pg. 452: two or more people who consider themselves related by blood, marriage, or adoption.

My one best question about asbestos is, who does one go to about reporting an asbestos violation? I would direct this question towards a human resources department or a union representative. I think Zonolite Company and W.R. Grace and Company are both at blame for the asbestos contamination, illnesses and fatalities at Libby. Both had employees who developed illnesses and fatalities from the job. I would say that W.R. Grace and Company would be more at fault because even though they claimed they were unaware of the hazards of the job, that wasn’t the truth. They knew of the dangers of the exposure and never said anything to their employees. If they did so, then they could have avoided this tragedy.

Family: A group of people consisting of adults and their children, who live with each other.

A husband and wife were not considered a family until they produced their first child

Family is defined as married couple with kids who collaborate and partition work along sexlines, rear kids, and share a common residence.

A married couple, two children, an extended family in the form of grandparents and even a pet were seen as constituting the

A family is defined as, “A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children”, also “A group of persons sharing common ancestry” (Answer) I define family as a person you care for deeply. Family is people that will be there for you when times are rough. They are there through thick and thin. Although many trials and tribulations occurred in my family, I would have to say the day of my great grandmother’s funeral was a sad event that made me realize that my family was of great importance to me.

Family forms the first bond anyone will ever encounter, because blood is thicker than water. Family builds future relations. Humans learn how to love and care for people from their families (Ransohoff, 2013). Nancy Brown, educator, and Julia Ransohoff, medical doctor student at Stanford, state “family is defined as a domestic group of people with some degree of kinship,” (Ransohoff, 2013). Family includes blood, marriage, and adoption (Ransohoff, 2013). Although not every family includes all of these. A blended family may not involve blood or adoption, or a traditional family only includes marriage and adoption. People consider these relations, family, because even though a blood tie does not exist, those people still grew up together. Sure, some go through a difficult transition, but for others, they make it through without an ounce of complication. To keep a family relationship healthy, everyone must work at it (Ransohoff, 2013). Some people see traditional families as a mother, a

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the definition states that in order to be classified as a family, it must consist of two or more people, where at least one person must be above the age of fifteen and must share a common value of either one of the following; blood, marriage (Registered or de facto), adoption, step or fostering who all usually live in the same household (Habibis, 2012). It is obvious how diverse and ever growing a family is in the twenty first century since the start of the nuclear family expectations (Poole, 2005). For example, the decline in fertility means that families don’t necessarily require children; therefore a group of two, ensuring the prerequisites are met, is now considered a ‘family’. Although this new classification of ‘family’ has broadened and placed a

Over the years, the term 'family ' has been greatly expanded from the black-and-white dictionary definition you see above. Although a traditional family is usually thought of as a two people bonded in marriage and their biological children, this is not always true. Personally, I believe that a family can be anyone who you love and support, and who loves and supports you equally. They don 't necessarily have to be blood-related to you or related to you by marriage. Friends can count as family sometimes as well.

In the surveys and censuses throughout the United States as well as globally, the concept of "family" has loosely been defined as a group of individuals affiliated by birth recognition by marriage or co-habitation (Fields and Casper 2001). Traditionally, members of an immediate family may have included a married couple, a son and a daughter, while extended family
