Explain The Communication Pattern In Families

In the popular show Modern Family I found different used of unethical communication behavior. For example, in the episode “Do it yourself”, one of the main characters shows offensive humor by making fun of the physical and mental abilities of another character. Also, vulgarity is present on the episode “Little Bo Bleep” in which one of the characters utilized the F-word. Lastly, biased language is also used in these two episodes by demeaning the characters mental traits, sex or ethnicity. I consider this sitcom an unethical communication behavior because it does not illustrates values such as respect and it does not display good communication

Communication is the third dimension and is not depicted on the model. It is a facilitating dimension necessary for facilitating changes in the other two dimensions. This dimension is measured by listening skills, speaking skills, self-disclosure, clarity, continuity tracking and respect and regard. Balanced family systems have good communication.

Communication is fundamental in my family because it’s how we show affection to one another, and how we become closer. I remember when we were at my grandma’s house on Thanksgiving one year, my grandma was treating my mom and her brother quite differently. When I later asked my mom why, she said it was because her brother was older and her mother respected him more. Both of my parents communicate differently with me than they do with my younger brother, or anyone else in our family. They hold me to higher standards, and they consider me to be the responsible one, because I am the oldest. Their communication styles are different, however, because both of my parents view me as a distinct individual, and know how to prepare me to handle a variety of situations in the future.

It is important to communicate as communication is the key to a strong, healthy and happy family. (myVMC

On top of that, this may be causing communication problems between daughters and fathers. In the study “Father-Daughter Relationships: Examining Family Communication Patterns and Interpersonal Communication Satisfaction,” researchers examined this very question. Sadly, the issue of family communication being up-tight seems to impact both the parents and children long past childhood consumer periods. This father daughter study discovered that “Research has shown that daughters who are dissatisfied with their communication interactions with their fathers are more likely to be involved with bad peer relation- ships, have unpleasant romantic endeavors, and make poor or life-threatening decisions” (Punyanunt, Narissra, 23). Research in this field

When I am communicating with others, I try to explain my point in a way the person can understand it. When talking with one of my parents about something that happened at school, I may try to describe things in a different way than I would with someone who is in the class with me. When I am trying to describe an object or maybe directions, I use my hands or body movements to help me better describe what I’m talking about. On a normal day, I communicate with my fiancé via telephone as we are in different places throughout the week. I also enjoy communicating with friends that are not in the area by text message or Facebook. When I have something serious or important to discuss with my parents, I usually give them a call or talk to them about it on the weekends when I go home. They are almost always available to talk when I call. When I’m sick or in pain, I usually want to be left alone. I’ll take over the counter medicines to try to relieve symptoms and if the sickness/pain persists for over a week or two, I will go in to see a doctor. I know my family is always there though to take care of me if needed.

Communication in my family was viewed as significant, open and honest. My parents made certain if we had an issues or concerns or if they had any issues or concerns that were addressed. My parents would encourage and provide an atmosphere of trust, guidance, and reverence. This set the tone for each of my siblings and myself to feel comfortable when communicating to our parents. My siblings and I communicated with the same level of integrity valuing each other’s point of view, agreeing, agreeing to disagree, and feeling valued as a member of the family. Whenever a situation of conflict arise my parents would sit the disagreeing parties down listened to all point of views, gave a conversation about the situation, ask for feedback, and made their decision based on facts that were presented. There were no harsh or iron fist ruling my parents were very fair however, you knew that they were in charge.

The presence of parent and child communication also matters. It is important for parents to discuss sex, love, and relationships directly with their children. Parents who thoroughly communicate their values and expectations to their children, express their concerns and love at an early age and do it often, and gives sufficient supervision — including their child’s selection of friends and role models — raise children who are more likely to avoid early sexual activity, pregnancy, and parenthood than those parents who do not. (Kim, (2008). This can be harder when there is only one parent. The probability of this communication becomes less and it results in such behavior. Much of the time that parent is working full-time and trying to maintain the home, in addition to everything that comes with parenting a child. Outside factors can lead to less communication especially from a single parent raising a teen alone. Several studies found that more frequent parent-child communication was associated with a decreased risk of sexual initiation, a lower frequency of sexual intercourse and fewer sexual partners, and more consistent contraceptive or condom use. However, some studies found mixed effects or no effects on this measure. (Scott, & Berger, (2014). This can vary from ethnic groups. Evidence suggests that Latino parents may be more reluctant to talk about sex and reproductive health with their children than are other parents. Additionally, when Latino families do discuss sexual

This essay is about communication within the family context, this consist of mental health issues, depression, anxiety, and the difficulties that had occurred along the way which included a lot of negativity responses from my daughter, I will analyse this towards Kaye’s (2014) Matryoshka dolls that will relate to adult communication management, and to further explore other communication aspects that relate to communication.

Harmony among family members creates a sense of belonging and a feeling of security that is incomparable to other kinds of associations. However, the emergence of tension and conflict may threaten the prevailing coherence. Conflict is common to all families and siblings can occasionally disagree; still, continuing clashes can damage relationships and create unnecessary strains among relatives. Eventually, if such pressures are not resolved, they would affect family celebrations and make them edgy occasions. Family tensions can be effectively solved through attending family events, although they may cause siblings to boycott such occasions.

The era of dining as a family is becoming as extinct as the dinosaurs. I find this to be distressing and tragic because it personally affects my family. Just a generation ago, 80 percent of families ate their meals together every night and the numbers have dwindled since. Now, in 2017, 40 percent of American families eat dinner together, and even then, usually no more than two or three times a week (Food Marketing Institute). Within the last 20-30 years, something has changed. This tradition is dying because people now are constantly busy, becoming so caught up in life that they simply do not value family time as much as past generations. According to the study, “Correlations in Family Meals…”, “Family meals offer routine and consistency and provide an opportunity to socialize children and teach them about communication skills, manners, nutrition, and good eating habits.” There are numerous benefits that can come from just sharing a meal with your loved ones, yet so many people don’t take advantage of this quality family time.

Communication is key in my family because it’s how we show affection toward one another, and how we become closer. I remember when we were at my grandma’s house on Thanksgiving one year and my grandma was treating my mom and her brother quite differently. When I later asked my mom why, she said it was because her brother was older and her mother respected him more. Both of my parents communicate differently with me than they do with my younger brother, or anyone else in our family. They hold me to higher standards, and they consider me to be the responsible one, because I am the oldest. Their communication styles are different however because both of my parents view me as a different individual, and know how to prepare me for how I will handle different situations in the future.

If you had to pick family over friendship in a heartbeat, I am pretty sure you would all choose family. However, I believe that friends are just as important as family because at the end of the day, the people who stand by you when your going through hell is what really counts as family. This topic is well demonstrated throughout the novel ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne, Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the film, ‘The Hunt for the Wilderpeople’, by the director Taika Waititi.

Remember the good old days? When our world was not polluted with humans glued to their cellphones? It seems technology has woven its way into every aspect of life today, including families. New rules have surfaced: no cell phones at the dinner table, no Facebook after 10. With the emergence of social media and the vast reaches of the internet, parents now have to combat the negative outcomes of allowing their children too much screen time. Despite their best efforts, without an authentic understanding of the online world, parents are helpless to protect their children.

The very idea that the family and family members’ behavior can understood as “rational” behavior may appear an oxymoron. Indeed, households are the situation of extreme emotion, attachment, and even violence. Families are where many of the seemingly “irrational” decisions of life are realized. For instance, it is currently estimated that the costs of producing one child to the age of 18is about a fourth part of a million bucks. Then we place our time, energy, and money in our youngsters then they can get up and entrust us. That is considered parental success. However, as an economic decision, how can this be considered a “rational” alternative? Kids are clearly an economic liability, and the days when we could reckon on them for care of elderly parents appears all but went away. Also, anyone observing sibling fights or marital strife is usually appalled at the level of discourse and terminology used.
