Traditions

 Traditions represent a vital piece of our culture and nature. They help structure and build a foundation for our families and our society. They remind us that we are a big part of history and they remind us who we are today and who we are likely to become in the future. Once we ignore the meaning or significants of our traditions, we’re in danger of damaging or losing our identity. Traditions are important! Some more than other, some help us grow closer together and remember where we came from. Others may be more like a practical joke.   Every family has traditions wether they think so or not. What is are traditions? Traditions are inherited patterns of beliefs or behaviors! As I said earlier some traditions are better than other!  Growing up I can remember one specific tradition that I wasn’t to keen about. My father called it the spanking machine. The spanking machine is where the whole family lines up and spread their legs open wide enough so someone can crawl through...

Family Systems

 Every family has their own system, their way of living, being, cohabitating, relying, and communicating with each other. Everyone in a family plays a roll. Mother, Father, Husband, Wife, Bother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, and so on...you get the idea. Each and every single one of these people have played a roll in your life at some point in time. Maybe not directly to you but maybe they had some sort of effect on your father or mother or maybe even your sister or brother. That is what makes up the family system theory, it is a theory of behavior that shows the family as a complex social system, which members interact to influence each others behavior. Family members relate to each other showing the system as a whole rather than as individuals acting completely on their own. Here is a diagram on how the family system work. Do you see how every one is connected to every one? Thats because how I explained earlier every one has a roll that effects every one in the family unit Now I grew up ...

The importance of Research

Image
 The importance of doing research is critical! This week I learned that a commonly known fact, isn't really a fact at all! It was just an assumption, or a guess, or a prediction, a theory even!  To me its important to do research that's a little deeper than just googling it and reading the first thing that comes up and this is why! Ive gone my whole life thinking that fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, but that simple just isn't true! Now if you just google it, that's what it will tell you. However it you do a little digging, you'll find out that it's much closer to twenty percent to thirty of marriages end in divorce. For me that's still a high percentage, but a lot less disheartening. How would you feel going in to marriage thinking that it was a fifty fifty percent chance that it wasn't going to work out? That would be pretty disappointing a number of levels. It could even effect your relationship in positive or negative ways.  However as I...
