Family Systems Theory

I think we all know that each family is different in their own special way. Either in culture, race, religions, or even just different set of rules that each family practices. This week I learned a lot more on the types of theories that social scientists use to explain certain things in a family, in order to understand certain beliefs or actions that specific families take. One of the main theories that I want to focus on is the family systems theory, which states that there are multiple subsystems within the family unit. There are different relationships(Dynamics) that makes the unit unique. For example, there can be A mother a father, a son, and a daughter. Yet the subsystems in the family can be that the Mother and Daughter have a special connection with each other, another subsystem is between the Mother and Father and they only discuss certain topics with each other that their children don’t know about etc. The family systems theory also states that each family has u...

Don't make it a competition

For the past two weeks, I’ve been discussing about the differences we all have with each other. We were made this way for a reason, but that does not mean we cannot work together and give others from our talents and strengths and learn from others. There is a video shared by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that I would like to share. It really depicts how our differences are a good thing. We need to embrace them! As of this week in class, we discussed a little about gender differences and Men and Women have been working in different roles since the beginnings time.

Likewise, Gloria Steinham, a women’s activist, stated that “We should be raising our b...

Adjustments need to be made

If you thought that marriage was going to be a fairytale from the start, you were wrong. I’m not saying that marriage will never be able to attain a happy state, but in order to achieve happiness you have to go through some changes and transitions to marriage. These transitions include the wedding, initial marriage, introduction of children, and inclusion of additional children. Regarding engagement, it is accustomed for people to make their engagement into a social media event, and when they do this, they disregard the beauty of the event. And I’m not saying that the engagements shouldn’t be broadcasted, it should be celebrated with joy, but when you do it for “likes” on a post, you are focusing on the wrong thing. Engagement shows more of a commitment and a level of preparation for more adjustments to come during wedding preparations and the actual marriage.   Regarding, wedding planning, in America, the average wedding cost around $26,000. People are focusing to much o...
