Does social class and culture matter in a family? Do these things matter in terms of accomplishing the purposes of family?
I think these things have an effect on the family but it's not everything. If you don't have a lot of money you may not be able to meet all of the needs of everyone in your family. But I don't think that in raising a family social class matters. Even if you are rich or poor you still have love, friendship, caring, and I think that if you nourish a family and nurture it, it will grow together.

Family Systems
This week was very interesting. I really liked the material we covered in class. I learned a lot and actually have applied some of the things I learned. We learned about systems in a family. That each person has a role in the family, and the family has rules. As we talked about the rules I thought about the rules in my family. A few rules were there was an expected curfew and one unspoken rule was we as kids couldn't double ask. For example if we asked mom to go play and she said no we couldn't go ask our dad. We also learned about symbolic interaction, and exchange. I also learned how to map my family. Awesome week! :)

Week 1
Questions
Intriguing-What does the family mean to the average person
in the world?
Important-Do I know the needs before my wants when
supporting a family?
Just plain beautiful-Why is communication crucial to a
family?
There are many trends in a marriage. Divorce is one of those trends. Another negative trend is the family is not
producing as many children as before.
There are many who are affected by not having children.
Economy-businesses
Schools-the teachers, bus drivers
The family-parents, grandparents, cousins, the unborn
Something that I thought was really interesting was that the
more people who don’t have children the less the unborn can receive bodies. I had never thought about that before. This class is starting to open my eyes and I
realize how important family relations is.
