Family Structures

Cultural practices and social policies concerning paternal and maternal child rearing roles are changing and have created a friendly culture allowing more fathers to be involved and take on a greater role in parental responsibilities (Eerola, 2014).

Are some of us living in Omelas individually? There have been many cases where children are abused by one of their parents, adoptive or paternal, their step parents and because of “love” the good parent might accept it. People look into many features when creating a family sometimes leaving love at the end, am I going to be financially secure, will my children have quality education, or privilege’s that I alone cannot afford.

Throughout the semester we have learn about different type of theories that explain to us why things happen or why society is shaped the way it is. The sociological theories not only explain why society is the way it is, but it also can help explain why families are the way they are. Today, I want to talk about how the symbolic interaction theory applies to my family. The symbolic theory expresses that people learn who they are based on their interactions with others, and that’s how my family is. My family is still growing and we are learning how adapt to change as a family, so the way we interact with people and our surrounding help us identify our selves as what type of people we are, making us grow.

During this time in history women were usually never seen without their husband, but were seen as a nurturing object for the children and somebody to take care of the house. I agree with Rachin perspective on how women are perceived in society but otherwise I disagree with wives being subordinate to their husbands. Rachin made a valid point in his writing about how female are perceived as subordinate but in reality they have more authority then the male in the house. In paragraph one and two of my research paper, I have explored the ideas of how women and men are equal, alongside how Constance over came the gender norms. In Goodnight Desdemona; Constance, Juliet, and Desdemona fought back against the norms in society and proved the they are just as equal as men are.

Multiracial individuals, by virtue of coming from interracial families and having parents from different racial backgrounds, are likely to have different racerelated experiences compared to monoracial individuals who come from families and parents belonging to a singular racial group. The differences in these racerelated experiences lead us to expect increased interracial relationship comfort for multiracial people.

Additionally, while monoracial people often cite potentially negative reactions from family members as a reason to avoid intimate interracial relationships (Root, 2001), multiracial people are less likely to face this concern from their immediate family members.

Education is not just reserved for Hmong men anymore as women roles are slowly adjusting and in many cases the roles switched where more women are now the main providers in the home. The ways of the American dream can longer support the traditional cultural structures that Hmong long established back in Laos. Hmong can no longer afford to stay the same anymore by enriching the mind of Hmong men and women with the capacity to grow through education.
