This paper will attempt to thoughtfully and critically analyze theories and perspectives and apply them in assessing two members of the Sanchez family, Gloria and Emilia. Case studies adapted from www.routledgesw.com/cases.

The family being discussed is the Romero family. Venessia Romero was a single mother that gave birth to two children a boy and girl. The girl passed away leaving Venessia with a little boy. Venessia remarried an air force sergeant Joseph Romero. He adopted the little boy and named him Joseph Romero II or Joey. The family is currently in the stage 4, the school age, of the family life cycle. Joey was diagnosed with 5 different disorders by age 4. Venessia began noticing that Joey was going into severe depression and never smiled. She then learned of transgender and renamed Joey to Josie. The family faced ridicule and discrimination. The family recognized the needs of their child Josie and reorganized to ensure Josie was well taken care of which

In case study nine, “The Family I Have,” we explore the relationship life of a Jewish girl named Myra during her adolescent years. Her story primarily focuses on her family relationship issues being that she neglected her family for her friends and other aspects of her life. This case study explores the relationship transition from family first to friends first as Myra went from childhood to adolescents. Like many adolescents, Myra’s shift is further driven by the newfound independence of adolescence, However, her desire for independence and means to gain it may have been more extreme than the stereotypical adolescent, causing turmoil in her and her family’s lives. Her story also analyzes the concept of family and the roles that each member plays within the unit. Eventually, Myra tries to strengthen her relationship with her family during her college years but wonders if it’s too late because the damage of their roles is already done.

The Sanchez family is the typical Latino extended family that you find in most neighborhoods. The mother, Celia Sanchez doesn’t speak much English she’s mainly surrounded by people who speak Spanish. As a Latino mother she’s very religious attends church and participates in church events where she gets food as well. Since Celia’s English is limited this was an impediment during school conferences and other situations that she has faced. Celia wants to apply for food stamps, but her husband Hector doesn’t agree and is completely against it. I kind of understand where Hector is coming from being the man of the house he feels that he needs to provide for his family and thinks he’s responsible for

I kind of understand where Hector is coming from being the man of the house he feels that he needs to provide for his family and thinks he’s responsible for everyone. Thus, he doesn’t leave room for additional help and wants to everything himself.

Released in 2001, Disney Channel’s The Proud Family was a Black cartoon frequently watched by children who grew up during its airplay. Not vulgar or satirical, The Proud Family centered around Penny Proud and her family as she grew up through her years. As a child, I innocently watched this show, but picked up on unintended implications based off of the character’s skin color. The main character Penny was a lighter skinned girl, who appeared to possess “more Eurocentric phenotypic characteristics (Steele),” exhibited more intelligence, wealth, and virtue, as opposed to her darker skinned best friend, Dijonay, who was associated with deviance and sassiness, while speaking with a more Ebonic style of talking and possessed a more “ghetto” name. Although the show attempted to provide an accurate representation of a “traditional African American family,” it still regardlessly instilled these stereotypes of the African American community into my mindset, which were not disproved in my mind until later in my life (Steele).

Through interviews with welfare workers and recipients, Hays demonstrates the high costs welfare has had on the moral, economic, physical and mental well-being of poor women and their children due to what she considers to be the conflict between the two opposing aspects of reform: work values and family values. She believes that these conflicting values and the inherent weaknesses in the Act contribute to serious and ongoing problems for welfare recipients.

This writing will be about the usage of food stamps, or maybe I should say the abuse of food stamps. I see a lot of food stamp abuse in my work environment and i would like to find out how they really work and if the system is really abused. I intend to learn and research about the background of food stamps and how the system really got started along with its original intentions. I would also like to research people's personal encounters with them, may it be what they have seen or the stories of the people who actually have them, whether they abuse them or use them for their good.

In 1996 Delia and her family of five immigrated to the United States. Delia’s uncles had been living in the United States, therefore they provided a lot of support for Delia’s family when they arrived (Feliciano Lec.1/13/16). Upon arrival, Delia and her family shared a two-bedroom apartment with her uncle’s family of five. Right from the start, Delia’s family experienced poverty. Due to their lack of documentation, Delia and her family experienced a negative context of reception from U.S. Government Policy (Feliciano Lec.1/13/16). Being undocumented was a primary factor that shaped Delia’s life in terms of the education she could receive and the occupation she would later

Roughly 70% of South LA / SPA 6 are Latino and are employed in labor-intensive jobs. According to the Pew research center (2017) immigrants are mostly like to be in these areas of employment: construction, apparel manufacturing, agriculture, cooks, day labors, fast food, gardening, housekeeping and childcare services, and other areas that usually pay minimum wage. In this economy, a household making minimum usually needs both parents working two to three full-time jobs, if not their household becomes impoverished as those in SPA 6. When you take away a major and most needed resource as money, you are left with relying on supplements, such as food stamps to feed one’s household. In SPA 6, a known food desert with food insecurities, many meals

This policy requires Food Assistance programs to be means-tested, which prevents anyone who does not pass those tests no assistance. Those people still may need that assistance but because they did not qualify, they would not receive any. Because the policy was constructed like this, it does not accurately benefit a household the way it intends to. The policy also requires states to authorize regular reportings of change that is done in households that are for the elderly or disabled, migrants or seasonal farmworkers, or homeless (congress.gov)”. These reportings are done to see if the family still needs the assistance and is also used to see whether or not there has been any changes in the household. Due to the history with the fraud, the current policy has become stricter on giving assistance in order to prevent similar situations. Though, because of those rules and regulations on the policy it has blocked households who are in need of the assistance and those

While reading The Family Crucible, the authors made it feel like I was watching a life-time television series. There were several high points and low points during the family therapy session that left me unsure of how the show would end. This book takes you on a journey using family counseling to help a family heal and communicate better with one another. I thought it was interesting how this systematic therapy took place in a time where therapy was looked at as taboo. Many times in that era family therapy was not an option. The main focus was on the family member with the issue and not on the parents or other family members. In the book the authors used different theories and approaches during the counseling sessions which were quite interesting. This process after time enabled the family to look at the journey they were on in order to understand how the family, as a whole, should function.
