What Are The Challenges That Avery Families Face

Throughout the past couple of months my fellow peers and I have been studying the topic ‘challenge’ and how it affects our lives and people around us. In our everyday lives we are confronting challenges, some are as small as walking up a few steps, and some are larger and more challenging that could be life or death circumstances.

Just running describes a young man who grew up in an environment filled with child abuse and neglect. It tells us a story of how a young mother, who was constantly drunk encouraged her child to steal for her. It tells the story of a boy who grew up stealing, constantly surrounded by gun violence, and how he was physically and emotional abused. However, it also tells a story of how that young boy meant this wonderful woman who saw something special in him; it was because of her that he changed for the better. He started playing football and he became a completely different man from the boy he was previously. This audio clip relates to three articles in these modules.

The Family Crucible is a story about the Brice family who is recommended by Claudia’s psychiatrist to go to family therapy due to the fact that she has not been making any progress in individual psychotherapy. The Brice family comes in to meet with Dr. Carl Whitaker and Dr. Augustus Napier, who co-facilitate family therapy throughout the entirety of the book.

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.

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s use of symbolism in The Scarlet Letter conveys the theme that everyone has the potential to find purpose in life regardless of their place in society. This idea strongly opposes the ideas of a puritan society which consists of people who live based on their predetermined destination. Furthermore, saints, elected by God, have the power to tell others how to live. Thus, creating a community where church and the state have much power and influence over the townspeople. In Hawthorne’s novel, Hester Prynne, the protagonist, is condemned by the church and shunned by society for committing the crime of adultery.

The Sanchez family is the typical Latino family that you find in most neighborhoods. The mother Celia Sanchez doesn’t speak English since she’s 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 has been 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 everyone. Thus, he doesn’t leave room for additional help and wants to everything himself.

Mexican cartels, which control most of the cocaine and methamphetamine smuggled into the United States, bring in 25 billion to 40 billion in their global operations every year, one way to slow the drug trade down would be to legalize marijuana. If we did this the government could regulate the trade between the two counties and the cartels would have to pay taxes to the Mexican government and this could be helpful to the people of Mexico and weaken the cartels.

One of the most frequently mentioned reasons to explain the pay gap between men and women is the fact that women leave the workforce to have children (Santos). Women are the only sex biologically capable of giving birth to children and in our patriarchal society, they are, more often than not, the ones to take care of the children they birth. When women reach their 30s, they “are most likely to have young children” (Santos). The choice that parents must make is between a working mother and paying daycare fees or stay-at-home mother and no daycare fees. According to Maricar Santos, childcare costs are “$11,666 per child, per year.” If a mother works full time one-third or more of her salary will go directly to childcare costs. If this
