4 myths:
1.The family structure was the husband would provide financial for the family while the wife manages the house .
2. Families were supposed to fit a certain mold or at least aspired to be something like families on T.V. like the family from "Leave it to Beaver"
3. Families must have one mom and one dad. (Nowadays there are many different ways you can have a family whether it just one mom,one dad, two dads, or even two moms)
4. It's wrong for Interracial couples to be together.(While watching the video in the beginning Cheerios was getting negative comments about its commercial just because the mom is white and the father is African American)
I feel like no family structure is ever the same it's always going to be different.
If we had another baby, we could get it right.” (Ward 150). Ward is teaching us about the effect of generational trauma that passes through people, even in relationships. When a person of color gets with a white person, the white person might have ancestors or family that have done something terrible to the person of color family. However, that relationship can still be stable with the person of color trama overweighing the white person.
As we can see in the chapters before the family dynamics was completely different in a sense of being together all the time, doing chores and farming together. As the country started to develop more and more, families only saw each other after working a job from 9-5pm. As Divine states, “in factories and working offices family members rarely worked together”(Divine, page 449). The families were divided in a working class family as the city life progressed. For working class families this had to take a toll on children because in a natural setting children would be at school for most of the time while their parents worked.
Kids, wives, and husbands all worked together to get things
Since they are just typical families it just emphasises how people act with racism and just fear of something
She wrote about the positions within a family saying, “Each family was represented in the outside world by its male head, who cast its single vote in elections and fulfilled its obligations to the community through service in the militia or public office.

Without a good family structure in our lives, what are we? We have no good life structure, bad morals and habits, and no preparation for the future. Family is one of the most vital aspects of living a successful life and we see this being portrayed in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. With family we gain a valid example of good morals and habits, we model our lives after our parents and how they treat us and others, and we become good providers, protectors, and sacrifice for our own families in the future. When we are raised with an excellent family or parent figures in our childhood we will model their character to have good morals and habits in the future.
Although perceptions of who can be determined as ‘family’ have been extremely customary in the past, Ellen Goodman utilizes a plethora of rhetorical strategies including perspective, figurative language and Aristotelian Appeals in order to express that straying away from labels and evolving with society over time will allow individuals to step beyond the realms of tradition and embrace the complexities of a more meaningful, extended family. In Ellen Goodman’s The Family that Stretches (Together), the author argues that what once stereotypically defined ‘family’ can no longer be representative of the greater population. She argues that in the modern day, it is important to understand that purely recognizing who falls under personal ‘family trees’ can be detrimental because a family tree alone is not sufficient in determining family. While Goodman does not fail to include empirical data and statistics to argue her point, the initial
I. Introduction Parenthood, a drama television series, attends to the adversity of an extended and imperfect family. The Bravermans are a blended California family who face a series of both fortunate and unfortunate events but together find a way to get by (Katims, 2010). Television consumers have been introduced to many fictional families overtime and continue to fall in love with family related television shows. Historically, the media has transformed and continues to adapt to the changes in present day family types. “Writers often take seeds from real life experiences and plant then in their scripts,” consumers both consciously or subconsciously attend to cues on television and want to apply what they see to their lives.
The traditional roles of the family were that the father went to work and the mother stayed home to tend to the children. Being Catholic, they did not use any birth control other than chance and therefore families tended to be large. The father was the head of the family. Also, Mila said that it was not unusual and to be expected, that elders of the family would live with you.
(Unique title) What makes a family a family? Families are all different. Having a family does not always include having both a mother and father. Sometimes having a family is a group of coworkers or friends from school.
Interracial marriages can bring a relationship between a Black and an Asian, a White and a Korean, or a Hispanic and an Asian that are becoming more popular from the past. According to Interracial Intimacies, the Author states that “during the 1960 many white and black activities who joined together to fight social justice also had sex with one another. Some fell in love” (Kennedy 100). Back in the 1960s, the issue in the south was not about interracial dating, it was black and white. Most people in the South didn’t have a problem between a white person and an Asian person or white person and a Hispanic person.
SXU – 1003 – Understanding Society In what way can ‘traditional family’ be viewed as a myth Evidently, as decades have advanced, changing societies in and around the World have had impacts on the way we perceive the dynamics of family social life. Over the last couple of centuries, the overall impact on has lead us into thinking that significant changes could be due to the Global influences such as the World Wars, a changing demographic picture and the Industrial Revolution that driven us to the way we live not just in the UK, but also around the World.
“The Changing American Family” by Natalie Angier states, “Fictive families are springing up among young people, old people, disabled people, homeless people, and may well define one of the ultimate evolutions of the family concept, maximizing, as they do, the opportunities for fulfillment of specific social and economic needs outside the constraints of biological relatedness.” The ever changing social dynamics and circumstances of this life have opened the definition of family to encompass individuals who can fill those deep-seated needs
Families might detest an interracial relationship because they will be afraid of their child betraying their own race. Families might also have to adapt
I believe that every family has their own roots, essence, uniqueness, beliefs and thoughts, some families have both parents, some just the mother, just the father, two mothers or two fathers, they might have an only child or two, or maybe 5 or even 10, therefore, those children start learning all these things from their family and surroundings, they ask questions, they imitate each other’s actions and are constantly learning and trying to catch as much information and experiences as possible. Children are growing fast, their parents are their role models, they learn mostly from them; parents have the tremendous job of forming good citizens that provide to society, healthy and happy beings that keep growing as humans in every stage of their
