The Two Families That I Chose For This Assignment

I'm very grateful to have a family that loves me! When the whole family is together, it makes me feel safe, like nothing awful can happen to me; when we are all together they make things easier. My family treats not only me, but others with respect. I always try to avoid thinking about what would happen to me if I didn't have a family. I feel when most people come to think of it, it makes you wonder. Who would you be today? Where would you be today? How would you grow up? It's always those things that get to you. In my opinion, it's safe to say we are all very lucky to be in the country we are in. However, these people include; parents, grandparents, and sister.

Though her sons are over the age of 21, Jane sets rigid house rules, curfew times to her children and imposes a great deal of disciplinary actions when disobeyed. They practiced the traditional Chinese culture wherein the eldest or the head of the household has the final say in everything that goes on. Her sons follows her rules with no questions asked. It can be inferred that she is domineering and wants control of her sons even if they are on their way to seek independence and live their life on their own. She wants a say in every aspect or decision that her sons will make and she actually can be defined as overprotective stage mother.

The family history assignment was to enable us to gather information from a participant. Used the data collected to build a genogram going back three generation. To tell this families story by incorporating medical, spiritual, cultural, and ancestral history. Then to review the information and show areas that could be modified to decrease the risk of health problems.

Two Parents. I come from a very small family. My mom and dad each were married once before they were wedded. Just my mom, my dad, and I. We were a family. All born seven seas across, in India. That’s all there was.

I consist mostly of the Italian, Irish, Polish, and Slovakian nationalities. My last name, Hudson, was established in England. However, my mother's maiden name of Bianco originated in Italy.

Before fully coming out as a lesbian, Samantha tells her mother at the age 13 that she is bisexual. Samantha described her mother responding in a, “calm and cool way, but didn’t seem to take me seriously. I think she thought it was a phase. Neither of us mentioned it again” (Lundsten 72). One year later, Samanta knew she was a lesbian. She told her mother, older brother, grandmother, and best friend. Samantha described her family's’ reactions, “My mother took it well, since I’d already told her I was bi the year before. My brother was lukewarm - he wasn’t happy about it, but he also didn’t make a big deal about it. Grandma, however was amazing” (Lundsten 72). Samantha felt that her grandmother had, “been my rock and my best advocate” (Lundsten 72). Unfortunately, Samantha’s best friend, Alyssa, did not take the news well. Alyssa became distant, did not call Samantha back, and started avoiding Samantha at school. Samantha’s schoolmates were not accepting of her. Her schoolmates started a rumor that Samantha and Alyssa were dating, and other rumors about who Samantha was attracted to.

Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have a better perspective of your life and of others. Every person has a different origin, a different story to tell, and it’s up to the next generation to share the story of their ancestry to future generations. The paternal side of my family originated in Ireland, they later came over through Elis Island and resided in Waukon, Iowa. Throughout time my family moved and expanded, as generations past the McKenna name would broadened.

The two groups of people that I focus on for this project are my maternal grandparents and my parents. I specifically focus on these two groups because they allow me to understand how decisions about educational investment and labor market experiences differed between the genders across generations. They also allow me to understand whether other social institutions like marriage, which determines existence of a household, had changed across time.

For as many years as anyone can remember, my family has hunted. This tradition is takes its main roots in Sweden. The earliest history that anyone in our family knows begins with my Great Great Grandfather Bengt Bengtson. He lived in Munkfors, Sweden and worked as a lumber company’s hunter. He was appointed to this job because of his exceptional shooting ability. He also used his expertise to provide sustenance for his family. The necessity and skills of hunting were taught to his son Gustav Bengtson. Great Grandpa Gus immigrated to the United States in 1926 at the age of 25 to start a new life. The practice of hunting was still an integral part of life, even in America. My mom’s paternal grandfather, John, was not an immigrant, but he was

My parents are both from different countries, My mother was born in Mexico while my father was born in El Salvador. After coming to America both were enrolled by my grandparents too Lee High School. Both of my parents did not know english at all so they had to take ESL classes which filled most of their high school schedule. In those classes they interacted and formed a connection between each other, shortly after that they began dating and going out to different areas just to have a couple more minutes together. Their connection grew even greater which led my father to presenting my mother to his family. At the age of eighteen my mother was impregnated and decided to drop out of highschool; my father followed her idea and dropped out as well

In the following essay I will be examining a relevant case study in which I will then describe the family structures experienced by one individual, explain the influence this has had on their behavior, experiences and life chances. I will finally decide on one theoretical approach to assess the impact of the family on this individual.

In the study of knowledge, there are four main means in which we can acquire information: perception, language, reason and emotion. Sense perception is the body’s way of processing external stimuli using our sight, hearing, taste, touch and olfaction. While most people rely on their senses, they are not infallible and in fact we misinterpret a lot of what we perceive every day.

Children form their sense of self on many aspects in their lives. At a young age they are affected by everything. They look toward their family as example of who they are and want to be. Families tell stories about their past hoping that they will learn from their mistakes. However, other families believe it is better to keep stories of their past to themselves, to save their children from suffering the same fate. Parents can never be sure that what they are doing is the best thing for the children, nonetheless they still try to help their kids as best they can. Parents try to support their children’s growth through stories of their past, children’s notions of sense of self become burdened with the achievements and failures of their family.

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
