I learned this as we interview the mother of the family. She also did not finish her studies as well as her husband however, they did their best to support all their children and now, their hard work is being paid off. The mother proudly said to us that some of their house appliances, such as their refrigerator and flat-screen television, were from her eldest child. The sacrifices she made for her family helped them to improve their state. Another value I learned from them is that I should show to my parents that I appreciate all the hard work they do for me and my siblings. When the time comes, I promise to pay off their sacrifices by supporting their needs and taking care of them, just like what they did to me especially when I was a …show more content…
For the living condition of the family assigned to us, I think they do well compare to other families. It is because they have various source of income such as having a sari-sari store, selling sacks of rice and the father’s job – selling taho. Their house was simple but also comfortable and large enough for them. It was spacious and I think they have all the appliances needed in a home. Then, as I have said earlier, regarding education, there were no college graduates. It is either the child is working, in high school or in elementary. The youngest child was not yet going to school. For their food, I think sometimes they get from their sari-sari store. They also sell processed goods and in fact, they served us their longganisa which actually tastes good. Also, upon our arrival, they let us taste the suman they made. Overall, I think their living condition is not that bad and if we only talk about simple lifestyle, there is nothing to change about their living condition. However, I hope that for the younger children, some of them could go finish their education. I hope that the older children who are already working can help their parents provide education to the younger
Unfortunately, the Walls didn't give both aspects of parenting, but still cared for their children in their own way. Great parents will help their children by promoting educational advancement in order to be successful in life. The Walls' children were able to even be enrolled in school, and the mother had many opportunities to work for the school, but decided against it. The many opportunities that this family had, proves even more that they weren't dirt poor. " At one point, both the Walls parents decided to enroll their children in school at Mary S. Black
Jose studied hard and despite the fact he was unable to gain financial aid, he was still able to achieve his dream. I feel like the family had good intentions. The grandparents wanted to help Jose’s mother out because she was a young mother who had difficulties finding a job. She was a single parent and had no financial support from the father. As I mentioned before, the grandparents just wanted Jose to have a better education and a better life.
This is on top a person’s immediate family, in these cultures it is common to find relatives helping to raise your family. This is not
As the story continued, the father and the mother did not show improvement, which made them unqualified parents due to the lack of providing for the basic survival needs or their children. According to Abraham Maslow 's theory of "the Hierarchy of Needs” there are five different types of needs that should be provided to all human beings, which are “the physiological needs, the needs for safety and security, the needs for love and belonging, the needs for esteem, and the need to actualize the self” (Boeree 2). Those are the needs that have to be satisfied for someone to have a healthy, successful, and a happy life. At the end of the story, the children received all their needs on their own, without the help of the parents. They only addressed those needs, when they escaped home and their parents.
However, my family’s support deteriorated after my parents’ divorce. In addition, my oldest brother was deported to Mexico when he was 18, so my mother worked day and night to provide for all of us alone. My vigorous route to the American Dream seemed impossible to
They 're all going to come and live with us. And finally, I 'll have a family. Because of that, sacrifices will be made. And these sacrifices are not a bad thing.
They explain how their parents became jobless or struggled to maintain and find new jobs. How they lost their homes due to being unable to pay for rent or the mortgage. All of their possessions were confiscated from the storage location due to unpaid rent. They share their tragedy to overcome the hunger and the frustrations of being poor. They also share their thoughts and dreams about the future.
My experience is similar to the story since in both cases, women are expected to cook food for the rest of the family. Also, in both cases, the person we relied on left the house and the rest of the family was exposed to a new situation and had to figure out a way to continue through their daily lives without the help of the person that left. After that, we gain a sense that we should not always take someone’s actions for granted and we should show more gratitude to the person who has done many things for us. In conclusion, we might not always know what we should be grateful towards, but when it comes to the people who are always there for us, we should at least let them know in one way or
None of the family members learning anything from their journey and are not better people because of it. There is not meaning to what
In a family there are many different roles; there's the role of the mother, the father, the child, the grandparents, then there’s the brothers and sisters. Every single one of those roles has different responsibilities. The father, according to most of society, is supposed to be the breadwinner for the family. However, nowadays the mother is actually quite capable of being the breadwinner just as much of as the father. As they work to show their children what it is to be an adult they are teaching them as well on how to be an active member of society.
The children learned basic norms and values from the parents. The parents supply the economic needs for the child such as foods and education (ResviseSociology, 2014). In a family, different person performs different role and function such as a mother should take care of her child. The important is the child can feel the love and support from their parents (Gordon, 1997). Family dysfunction may appear in broken families, violent families and divorced families, etc.
It was harder for the Young family to do simple things, but they overcome their obstacles and stayed true to themselves throughout the
Figure 1 Macoby and Martin’s simplification of parenting styles as seen in Bee’s The Growing Child (Source: Adapted from Macoby & Martin, 1983, Fifure 2, p.39.). Parents only want what’s good for their children and for them to grow intro great adults, for their children to be independent and to be able to undergo hardships. There are quite a few advantages of being over protective parents. Because over protecting parents control their children’s decisions and day to day activities, they are able to monitor their children and ensure their safety (Overprotective Parents, n.d.).
The two important values that I have learnt are the independence and the respect. I learnt these two values since my childhood. One of the values is the independence. Independence means that you can support yourself without owning or depending on yourself concerned with livelihood or studying. You can make decision of your life without being controlled by the others.
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
