Friedman Family Assessement
How is the family meeting affective, socialization, reproductive, economic and health care functions
(See Chapters 14, 15 and 16 for more detail explanations of functions)? Identify the developmental
stage of this family; what are the developmental tasks this family must achieve during this stage?
What do you believe is their present ability to achieve these tasks? (See Chapter 5). What are the
short and long–term stressors impinging on this family? What strengths counterbalance these
stressors? How is the family reacting to these stressors (identify functional and dysfunctional coping
strategies)? Formulate one nursing diagnoses for this family. If there is not enough data in the case
study to assess the above, what ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As understandable as it may be, his work schedule, there needs to be a balance between work
schedule and family time, quality time. This directly ties to the second question of constructive
family socialization. To me it is not enough to take the family out to eat when the time allows it and
not have this type of socialization. Nowhere in the study was this mentioned. It seems as if both
John and Julia try to distract from the work routine and spend some time with their children, which
are a good thing, but there is no constructiveness in addressing possible changes that could benefit
the family better itself. For example, John being the one out of the home the most can be discussing
a possible job change or decreasing the amount of time he is out to be there more for his children
and wife. This is what betters a family in my opinion even though it is difficult habit to adapt to it is
totally worth trying. Economic functions The Smith's economic status is not in bad shape as I like to
call it but can most definitely improve. With a combined salary of $70,000, with John's inheritance,
and the way they live, it seems that they have become content with their lives. However, we have
Jackie and Jorge, Julie's sister and brother in law to compare, who are doing very well economically.

Behavioral Change Exercise Paper
Behavioral Change Exercise Paper on High Temper, and Anger Issues with Screaming
At the beginning of the spring semester, when I read the syllabus for the Models of psychotherapy
class assignments, the one that took my attention was about behavioral change exercise. I thought,
this exercise could help me through my high temper combined with my anger issues by screaming
all the time my family. In all my college experience this was the specific project I was really looking
forward to complete. Not just for doing my homework, but also because I was thinking this will be
really beneficial for my family well been and my own harmony.
My behavior problem includes my high temper with anger issues including screaming at my family.
Particularly towards my oldest sixteen–year–old son and my youngest fourteen–year–old son. An
example for a pattern on my behavior problem is the way my children answer to me or do not
answer at all, when I ask them to do their chores, or I ask them to do a specific task they do not do
nothing or they ignore me. Their behavior towards me is the turn on point just before my anger

In which, you always listen and obey your parents, does not matter if they were right or wrong,
where they do not need to use words to tell what you can or cannot do, where you just by looking at
your mother eyes, you could understand that you were in trouble. These are some of the reasons
why I started to scream at them. For example; one day I came home from school and the kitchen
was a mess, everything was out of place, when I ask them who made the mess in the kitchen, no
body answer me, I asked again and again until I lose my patient and my temper went high really fast

Heart Reflection Paper
On Friday, March 30, 2012, I was pulled out of my sixth–grade reading class. When I got to the
office my Great–Uncle was standing there with a very strange look on his face. He proceeded to say
"Aunt Linda Kay went to the doctors today and they found out she was having a heart attack and
rushed her to the emergency room. They took her to the catheterization laboratory and they figured
out she would need a quadruple bypass." He proceeded to tell me I would be staying with him and
his wife. When I got to their house they explained that the doctors would be taking blood vessels
from her leg and attach them to her heart. At this point, I was crying almost inconsolably so they
decided to try calling the hospital so I could talk to her. We were joking on the phone just having a
good time, she made it a point to reassure me that everything would be ok because she had the
number one heart surgeon on the east coast doing her surgery. At the end of that call, I knew it
would not be ok because she said, "I love you to brat", which she never said to me. Sadly, that was
the last time I got to hear her voice. The next morning, my family and I prayed the doctors would be
able to help her. Thankfully, all her heart stents went in without a problem. One of the downsides to
the surgery was that they had to put her in a medically induced coma for a couple of hours. Sunday

Comparing Thanksgiving and Christmas Essay
When I was younger, the two holidays I looked forward to were always Thanksgiving and
Christmas. This time of the year always is the happiest because everything feels so refreshing
because I am spending quality time with the people I love most. When it comes to Thanksgiving and
Christmas, I always seem to have the most memorable good and bad moments. These holidays have
very different meanings but have the same feeling because it symbolizes, good food, good times

Beside the food, the next best thing about the holidays, is the quality time that I get to spend with
my family. My family is spread out all over the United States; we do have family in Washington,
Georgia, Ohio and Mississippi. Since we all in different states, we do not get to see one another
much. When my family comes together it is always really interesting because something always
happens. Thanksgiving is usually the time when most of the family comes together because nobody
wants to miss grandma's award winning food. My grandmother has won several cooking contest
when she lived in the bay area. When the family comes around for Christmas, it is unforgettable
because it does not happen all the time. The negative part about the whole family getting together is
that there is always some type of drama. When the family gets together, there is always a fight of
some kind because something is said to make someone mad. For some, this can be a stressful time
but for others it is mere entertainment because the fights are over the stupidest things. When family
member fight at Thanksgiving, it is usually over the food. They fight because someone does not like
what was cooked, they did not get to cook, or they were just fashionably late. For Christmas, the

Reflection Of A Good Wife
In 1955, the article entitled, "The Good Wife's Guide," detailing all the ways that a wife should act
in a certain ways and how best she can be a partner to her husband and a mother to her children. I
believe that being a good wife runs so much deeper than making dinner, washing undies, and doing
the dishes. It's about prioritizing your family and loving them with all of "your" heart. As the years
pass on, the society became more open–minded about the tradition stereotype gender role. The
changes also included both wife and husband were expected to help each other and the house chores
was divided. The wife is not only the main charged of doing all the house works and prepare food
for the family. Men were also expected to make some contribution to take part in the household
works. Whomever the person went home first whether the husband or the wife, the person is
expected to clean up the house if it's needed, prepare dinner for the family and expected to take care
the children. Back in 1995, the wife encourages to wash the children's face, comb their hair and
change their clothes. Importantly, she had to reduce all the noise of washer or vacuum and
encourage the children to be quiet at the time when the husband came home because the husband
had spent long enough hours at his work. When he got home, it's his time to relax and enjoy his time
freely without interfering his moment. But in the 2010 guideline, the expectation for the wife is to

My Favorite Family Traditions

My favorite holiday traditions and querencias are Christmas cookie making and Thanksgiving Black
Friday shopping are my. The word querencia has the root of the word querer which is a spanish verb
that means to desire and to want. A querencia is something one desires or something that makes on
feel safe, comforted and free. The first tradition that comes to mind is Christmas cookie–making.
Around December 1st, the Christmas spirit begins to spread my around house. Christmas songs
slowly become more ubiquitous in our family playlists. Soon, every family member becomes a
sycophant and complements one another to ensure they receive the gift he or she wants. On Fridays
when I don't have much homework after dance, my family crowds around in the family room to

we chat about gifts and shopping and share jokes. I loves this tradition because I love cooking and

Prince Rogers Nelson Biography
Prince Rogers Nelson, the artist known as Prince who Thursday became "formerly" with a
devastating finality at only 57, was so gifted it barely can be believed, let alone described.
Thankfully, it hardly needs to be, because anyone who wasn't frightened off by his flagrancies and
ambiguities could tell that this was a talent of the kind that rearranges what culture can do and what
a human can be–the kind possessed, for instance, by two artists who predeceased him, his
contemporary Michael Jackson and his elder by a dozen years David Bowie, and a very short list of
other figures in pop–music history.
He was one of the finest ever pop singers, one of the most incredible guitarists (the anecdote in
which Eric Clapton once replied to the question "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist alive?" by
saying "I don't know, ask Prince" is probably apocryphal but, on a higher plane, definitely correct),
and one of the most indelible songwriters, most influential producers, best wearers (and removers)
of clothing, and most electric semiotic manipulators.

The Negative Effects Of Technology In The Home
"Technology in the Home"
In today's world, there happens to be a lot of technology. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but
what happens when too much of a good thing turns out bad and begins to have a negative effect on
important relationships? Children and parents don't have the same kind of relationships that they
had in the past. Relationships all around the world are going through a dramatic change. This is
partly due to the presence of technology. Because I still live with my parents and my family I've
seen a change in how families communicate with each other and how much time families spend
together. Kids rarely go outside and hang out with their friends anymore and when they do, it's for
very short periods of time. The first negative effect being that kids today spend a lot more time
watching television, using computers and playing video games. The second negative effect is the
divide that has come between parent and child. Parents have had a sort of disconnect with their
children and communications between the two have dropped significantly. Another negative effect
of technology in households is that parents work more and have less time to spend. And when they
do have the time to spend they're on their devices checking emails at their children events or texting
while eating dinner. Often times parents just don't have the time to focus on work and kids. A lot of

The Death Of Ivan Ilyich And Metamorphosis
When a story is written, characters may be the most important aspect to consider. Without the
characters, and the events that happen to them, the story would no longer have any point. When
reading The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Metamorphosis, there are many parallels between the main
characters. Ivan and Gregor both considered burdens on their families. The indirect characterization
in each story, allows the reader to gradually follow the changing attitude of the main character,
leading up to their death.
Ivan Ilyich is introduced as a working man "liked by them all", although from the start you
understand that he is dead (Tolstoy). This differs from Gregor 's story where he is introduced as
being "transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin," and the readers do not know that Gregor is
eventually going to die in the story(Kafka). In the beginning of each story both men are likeable.
The indirect characterization allows the reader to analyze the behavior of each character to further
understand their personality. Ivan is known as a man who places heavy importance on work. This is
known early into the text. Gregor is very similar in this aspect as his own mother states to his
employer, "The lad only ever thinks about the business"(Kafka). Ivan felt "the whole interest of his
life now centered in the official world," creating a similar mindset with Gregor(Tolstoy). It is not
until later in the text that the reader understands what a toll this takes on the family life. Gregor

I Must Cherish The Time With Your Family : A Short Story
I believe you must cherish the time with your family! (1)
I woke up and it was a new day, where everything was normal, but it wasn't, my brother wasn't
there. Over the years I grew up with my brothers and two dogs which one looked like a fatten up
sausage ready to be eaten. I learned to love and live with them. They were my best friends and I
spent most of my days with them. Playing history games or other similar games which they were a
massive part of my life. One day that all stopped when the wind died down all was left was me and
my final brother. (2)
I am seven years old now and out of all those seven years I lived with both of my brothers. My
brothers included Avi and Daniel. Avi was the brother who made gaming fun with his strategic
deployments. As for Daniel he would ruin Avi's ruins and Avi would exclaimed, " No, what Angelo
you ruined our chance." As you can tell from that statement I wasn't that bright with my strategic
placements. We would play till the morning dawn when the sunlight would burn your face and you
are being cooked in the sizzling metal seat. (3)
When I was young everything was nice I had not to be worried to be organized and time to do my
homework. We didn't have any worries just me and my brothers. Well until the first one went to
college. His name was Avi, though his real name was Alvaro. We all look like clones of each other
which came from different timelines. The first few days I didn't realize he was gone because I was
young and everything was new. (4)
One day Avi told me, ¨I gotta go now.¨ I started seeing him less and less. Now, I only had Daniel, of
course he stilled loved me, but I felt a piece of my heart was gone. Every weekend Avi would come
again and again. (5)
I didn't understand the concept of college I thought it was a playground where people play with
other people. Where everything was hunky–dory like how I was now. Sometimes, Avi took us to
places which were of amazement with me. With buildings that touched the sky and made me feel
like an ant, so inconsiderately small to the building. The people just walked by like wind blowing in
the breeze. Nothing mattered only me and my brothers. (6)

Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun Essay
I really enjoyed the movie A Raisin in the Sun. It follows a black family's struggle to reach their
long anticipated dreams. These dreams, and the struggles necessary to attain them, is one of the
main focuses of the movie. The movie began with a husband, Walter, and wife, Ruth, fighting over
Walter's dream to make it in the business world by using an insurance check as a down payment on
opening a liquor store. He believes that if someone in the family would just listen to him and put
forth their trust, his dreams would become a success. This episode illustrates a major conflict
throughout the story. As Walter dreams bigger and bigger he seems to leave the "smaller"' things,
such as his family behind. This movement away from the family ... Show more content on

Once Mama receives the insurance money, she believes that the best thing to do with it is buy a new
house for her family. At first she is very adamant against giving any of the insurance money to
Walter because she believes that his uses for the money will not benefit the family. But, as time
progress Mama sees how upset her son his because none of the family members will back his
dream, so she gives him the money left over after buying the house to spend on his dream. However,
Walter's deal falls through and he is faced with an even more challenging task. He is faced with the
job of talking with the head of the "Welcoming Committee" of their new "white" neighborhood and
pretending to be the stereotypical inferior black so that the "Welcoming Committee" will buy the
family's new house for a large amount of money. But as the time draws near for Walter to put his
pride away, he realizes with the help of the family that no amount of money can make up for the
loss of pride and that it is sometimes better to sacrifice the goals of one for the good of many. So
Walter tells the gentleman from the "Welcoming Committee" that they are not interested in selling
their house to any white folks. This bold and unselfish move helps to father the family's long
standing ethics, values, and pride.

Personal Narrative: Bowafo's Escape
Escape When I was a little girl, my mother worked for a man I simply knew as Bowafo. If he had

While no, I did not see Lions anywhere–– not even in a wild animal park, I did see that it isn't easier
to be black in Africa. It's just easier to be invisible. Maybe that's what she meant? A few years after
working for Bowafo and her whole Africa phrase, my mom went on a business trip to Georgia in
1974. When she returned, she told me that what she liked best about Atlanta was the fact that Black
people passing each other on the street didn't feel the need to acknowledge one another. Not out of
rudeness, but out of the fact that Atlanta, being more densely populated by black people meant you
were just another person on the earth and not an oddity that was compelled to silently say – "Oh
look another black person. Hello." Now as an adult I have noticed that in for myself... I've been
ignored in both Atlanta AND Africa (more on that later) yet the case is different here in California.
While I do endeavor to be friendly to anyone I pass on the street (particularly on my neighborhood
walks) I find that when I see another Black person, especially in an area where there aren't many, we
always say hello to each other. You might say it's because I'm predisposed to do so because my

relationship of family and work. It shows that the developmental needs of the family will produce

women that are entering the work force in different fields all over the world.
There are a few important factors that separate the two family set ups: the quality time, the roles and
responsibilities, and the development of women inside the family, as well as in the whole world.
Two out of three factors can be considered as an advantage of the two career family. In terms of
roles and responsibilities, it does not follow the traditional way of the labor separation. In this, the
husband and the wife, has the same level of commitment in terms of home care and finances. One
career family has the advantage in terms of the quality time, which is the most important aspect in a
family, because it focuses on the relationship, communication, and connection between the parents
and the children.
In closing, there have been debates regarding which family life is better, which has been a focus of
many studies and researches. There are many different people and studies that show that the two
career family is the most suitable set up in society, but there are still countless people that believe
having a one career family is still the best for the children.

Narrative Essay On Dorothy Camp
One of the antagonists in my screenplay is Josh Camp's mother named Dorothy Camp. She is a
skinny red headed woman with marble green eyes, whose main objective is to make sure her son is
successful in life. Her birthday is June 15th of 1977, which makes her a gemini. This is important to
note because she is constantly changing her mood and the way she decides to handle situations. She
is aware that she is a Gemini and constantly uses it as excuses for her bipolar lifestyle. Furthermore,
she grew up during disastrous events such as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and challenger space
shuttle disaster, which contribute to her stress and anxiety. As a young child, she didn't get a lot of
attention from her parents because they were always working in order to put food on the table. This
made it difficult for her to get attached to anyone except a rich man named Richard Camp that she
met in her twenties. At the time, she didn't realize he was wealthy because of the way he dressed,
presented himself, and his occupation. Currently, she is married to him with two children that they
decided to name Josh and Emily. Needless to say, the marriage changed Dorothy's entire life for the
better. For example, she used to live paycheck to paycheck in a one bedroom apartment in Nevada
until she met Richard at one of the local grocery stores. He was bagging her groceries unaware that
he had bagged her heart. When Josh was born, she made a promise to herself that she would give
him all the attention and love that was physically possible. At times, her son hates it, but she thinks
it's only because he is going through a faze. Every once and awhile, she finds herself daydreaming
about him at young age and their most memorable moments to date. Along with her clinginess, she
easily gets offended by the simplest comments. There was this one time, where her daughter said
that she looked better in the color red compared to blue and she literally didn't wear red for two
years. When Emily commented about it, Dorothy acted like she didn't know what she was talking
about. Most of the family try to ignore it, but sometimes her reactions become everyone's problem.

older she hasn't slept the whole way and while she was awake she noticed; how little things like a
song on the radio from her parents childhood, and even playing little games to pass the time, can
make her truly understand how things would be completely different with family not around. Going

family about everything possible, starting college, a new job, how to develop credit, and even high
school drama that was going on, would never happen unless her family was there. During the drive

popular (Forgeng 167). Since the water system had many problems, people preferred brewed drinks
over water. Ale, which consisted of water, and spices, was a very common drink. Beer was popular
in cities like London(170). When it came to cooking food, it depended on the type of kitchen
utensils you had. Fire was required for boiling, roasting, or baking food. Women had to use pots
with legs for most of the meals. Utensils were made from clay, iron, or copper (169). Food was a
way to bring the family together after a long day of school, work, or labor. Family, going to school,
working, and eating were all factors of ordinary life in the Elizabethan Era. Being with family was
very important since men and boys were out of the house all day. While the children went to school,
the adults worked in the house or out on the streets. School hours were long and tiring, but it was a
privilege to go to school. Food and drinks were a way to bond and catch up with your family.

Christmas : The Greatest Festival Of The U. S. Festivals
Christmas is the greatest festival of the U.S. Festivals always bring happiness and preserve our
culture and tradition. There are several types of festivals celebrated in the U.S. Among them I like
Christmas. It celebrates the end of each calendar. It has been known as the birthday of God Jesus
Christ. It is a holy day of the Christian religion. It is very popular because we can celebrate it with
families, relatives, and friends. People are being very busy on working, they do not have enough
time to share love and affection with families. They wait for festivals to meet their families and
friends. Christmas is celebrated at end of every year. It is a festival of great delight, sharing, and
bliss. Three reasons I like Christmas are spending time with family, having time off from school and
work and receiving gifts.
Spending time with family is the most valuable time for everyone. When the festival comes, people
get together with the family and friends. Christmas is the biggest festival of the year people
celebrate it doing different activities. For instance, on this day, they decorate the pine tree and fur
with festival lights, bulbs, flowers, garlands and stars and sparkle lighting at home. They keep
different Santa's snowmen and coming from riding horse. Villages and cities are decorated with
colorful lights. Most of the time, snow covers the ground and we build many snowmen and reindeer

My Grandmother Is A Significant Figure Within My Life
When asked who I consider to be a significant figure within my life, the first to come to thought is
my grandmother, Wanda Walden. My grandmother has for many years been very influential in my
life, whether from giving me advice or just being a strong shoulder to cry on when I need someone
to listen. Grandparents teach the lessons that parents have not grasped yet, and listening to Wanda
has given me years of knowledge that I myself have not received from personal experience. To be
perfectly transparent about her, Wanda has always been a determined, tender–hearted, and loved
woman.
Although from a first glance she is seemingly a chipper and delightful granny with a stereotypical
knack for couponing, Wanda is much more than that. Growing up on a farm with six brothers and
sisters, my grandmother knew what it meant to work and hold a family together. Wanda would tell
me stories about working in tobacco fields or helping feed the rest of her siblings whenever my
great grandparents were out working. "Things were much different back then," Wanda would tell
me. "We had to get up early and do our morning chores, eat breakfast, and hurry off to school.
Afterwards we had to come home and work and by the time us kids were tired we still had
homework." Hearing this made me feel as though my complaints about chores and homework were
nothing but tantrums.

Contemporary Evangelism

Abstract
The book Family to Family is a solid aide for the family that has lost association with itself. The
very motivation behind the book as expressed by the writers is to "discover God's purpose for your
family, develop a family mission statement, establish core values, make time for quality and
quantity family time centered around God's purposes, and equip you to lead your children to Christ
and mentor them spiritually."
As the writers Pipes and Lee walk the perusers through these ranges, they demonstrate to us
generally accepted methods to raise families that are focused on Christ and how guardians can
render their faith to their kids and alter the course of them leaving the congregation after reaching
the age of eighteen. Family to Family starts with the life of the regular church going family that tries
to do an excessive amount of day to day tasks and is not associated with each other through Christ.
The writers give the peruser a week after week and day to day list of activities that this normal
family has and indicates how this is the reason for their detachment with Christ.
Pipes and Lee use information from the American Family Association to demonstrate that "Only 34
percent of America's families eat one meal together

"Once I learned how to listen, I discovered that most adolescent and adult women suffer from their
father 's emotional distance and lack of involvement in the family life. In their words, dad was 'self–
absorbed', 'unavailable', 'tied up in his own ego', and 'incapable of dealing with feelings" (Maine,
Margo 115). Indeed, I heard my cousins talking about their family problems with their parents. They
did not get to spend quality time with their father and that used to make them feel stressed and sad.
But, in my case no matter how tired my father was he always used to give some time to his family
and I was happy about it. I felt like every family has problems except mine. I considered myself the
luckiest one of all. However, like other fathers even my father used to go to work and was a busy
person, but whenever he was back home he used to show his bright side of him. My father was a
person who used to give his best at his job but, he never used to show his tiredness in home, he was
someone who used to give as much as time to his family . It was a blessing to grow with such a
lovable father. My mother at the other hand was really caring and loving. She used to spend quality

Roose Jones Chapter 3 Summary
Identifying Data: Ramsay Bolton, formerly known as Ramsay Snow, is the legitimized bastard of
Roose Bolton. He is a northern white male in Westeros, loyal to House Bolton, and, previously,
House Stark. He and his father played a key role in the Red Wedding, a turning point in the war of
the five kings, in which they betrayed House Stark in favor of House Frey and Lannister. The
Boltons were then named wardens of the North. Ramsay is known for his sadistic tendencies, his
affinity for torture and inflicting pain, as well as holding the ultimate goal of achieving power. He
took Sansa Stark as his wife, whom he raped and tortured before her escape, until she eventually

certain diseases and health factors that are more prominent to or more acceptable to the population

O Pioneer Hardships
Hardships in O Pioneer During the middle to late 1800's, thousands upon thousands of Americans,
as well as foreigners, flocked to the mid–western part of the United States. They flocked to this area
hoping to gain free or cheap land promised to them by the United States Government. Most of the
"pioneers" left cities and factory jobs to venture out into the American prairies and become farmers.
They left their homes, not only because the land was either free or cheap, but also because they
wanted to leave the hardships of city life. However, as most would find out, prairie life had its' share
of hardships, that far out–reached the hardships of city life. Among these hardships were the death

After John died, the family divided the land into three parts. These three parts went to Alexandra,
Lou, and Oscar. All three had difficulties within the first couple of years. It even got to the point to
where they were discussing the idea of leaving and going back home. They discussed this idea
because the land they were living on was not producing much for them and money was very hard to
earn. Cather stated in Chapter two that John Bergson "spent his first five years on the Divide getting
into debt, and the last six getting out." After John died, the rest of the family took on the
responsibility of repaying this debt. However, by the end of the novel, the land had become very
fertile and hearty and they were able to make a living off of it. But most pioneers during this time
were not so lucky. Some died of starvation. Some returned to the cities in which they came from.
Carl Linstrums family, in this story, had such bad luck with the land; they were forced to return to
the city. Violence and crime was also a problem for prairie dwellers. Most people in this area lived
in seclusion, miles from the nearest town. Therefore there was no jurisdiction in these outer one or

Kate Chopin 's The Awakening
Skylett Villacis
Ms. Gibeily
English 3, Period 7
4 April 2016
The Obstacles of Feminism in the 1800s
The Awakening by Kate Chopin published in 1899 is a novel that can teach the true meaning of
family, the importance of friendship, and the value of independence. Chopin teaches the true
meaning of family by showing how Edna receives no support from her own family and struggles to
succeed without them. Chopin shows the importance of friendship when Edna has no one by her
side until she meets a woman named Adele and a man named Robert. The primary area that Chopin
focuses on is the satisfaction of independence. Edna loses herself throughout time but has two
friends to help her get back on track. In The Awakening, Kate Chopin uses family, friendship, and
independence in order to show the obstacles women go through, such as being disciplined by the
men in their life, and not being able to choose who they would like to spend the rest of their life
with, in the 1800s.
Chopin introduces the true meaning of family by beginning the story with Edna and her husband
Leonce going on a getaway to a cottage. Its begins with showing how happy they are being married
and having their own family together. Edna and Leonce 's marriage is going through difficulties at
the time, but things seem to get worse at their getaway to the cottage. Edna is confused on why her

My Family
Family is one of the most important things in life There were many lessons I have learned in my
past such as to shoot gun and bow properly and that family is important. I have had some time to
reflects on my lessons learned but the one that stand out the most is that family is important. For
everyone they have had someone they have lost that they were somewhat close to them. Plus I think
that people underestimate how much they are attached to a person until that person is dead or have
passed away. Family is one of the most valuable things people have in there world. People don't
realize that they are attached to them, until they aren't there anymore at all they are in a higher place.
That is what I realized when one of my cousins died and one of my aunts. So that was a hard time
for my family and I when my cousin died one day about 4–5 years ago. Especially when I got to see
him all the time and it was really hard on our family when he died one day. That should tell people
you can lose someone in the blink of an eye because it is so easy as humans to make mistakes that
might cause someone else there life. That is why life should not be taken for granted because we are
only humans that can do some dumb stuff sometimes. But that sometimes could be tomorrow or
even today, so every time you can see family you should because you don't know when you are
gonna see them again. The next time you see them could be in a coffin waiting to be buried so that
shows how lives can flash and go by super fast. That is why no one should take life for granted they
should live life to the fullest potential. Like my cousin he was living his life until he oded one day
his roommate came in the room to see him laying down dead in his bed. Then I think I sat there for
hours on end crying once I found out that my favorite cousin just died. Then about two to three
years later one of my aunts died because of some sort of parkinson's disease. Which was really hard
for my family and me because they died somewhat close together which brought my family even
more close as people and as a family. Which was a good thing and a bad at the same time because it

The Ethical Dilemma Of Music In Music And Music
A patient in acute care has culturally specific music because the family believes it will help the
patient. The patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the room. This ethical
dilemma questions whether or not the rehab assistant should let the family continue playing the
music or to stop since the patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the same
room. By asking the family to stop playing the music, conflict may occur as the RA is disrupting
their culture healing beliefs. Whereas if they continue to play the music, patients in the same room
could become agitated which can create problems between other patients and the family. As the duty
of a culturally competent RA, we will try to accommodate the patients needs where everyone is
happy with the outcome while maintaining each patient's autonomy.
The first option is to change the genre of music from time to time. The advantage of this is to have a
mixture of music so the other patient's in the room aren't annoyed with repetitive and same language
music. The disadvantage of this option is the family may get mad or upset as we are disrupting their
belief process and not taking their culture seriously if we consider changing the music from time to
time. One principle is justice. If the family can play their music then why can't the other patients
too? There is no harm in changing the music (non–maleficence) but the family might be offended.

I feel disconnected from that part of my family's day. If I could work less or restructure the end of

The Theory Of The Deterrence Theory
Another concept of the deterrence theory that relates to my deviance act is family ties. A family tie
means that somewhere down the road, within my family tree the way we act in my family is because
its how my bloodline was raised generation after generation. This concept fits right in with the
deterrence theory because if someone has a family tie to a certain situation or a certain situation,
then chances are they too will join in on the action. This connects to my situation because at first,
when I handed my father the letter, he kind of shrugged it off and just looked at it as a stupid school
assignment that I had to do to pass my class. This is because of our family ties, any male in my
family, whether they are alive today, or have passed away, would have reacted exactly how my dad
did. In fact thats exactly how I imagined him reacting with my first attempt to read him the letter.
But once my dad had alone time, where he felt no one was going to look down on him for getting
emotional, he broke the family tie and reread the letter I wrote to him and reflected on it. When I
brought it to his attention that I knew that he went ahead and reread my letter, once again he denied
it before finally opening up to me about everything I had written. The family ties were broken, but

in marriage, which means that they are together as one: they are loyal, truthful, and loving to one
another. When a person is committed to either a partner or a family they will do anything for them.
Referring back to Dr. Huntsinger's story it is stated that "Dad tried endlessly to get the courts to

Suffering In Sonny's Blues
Mama, a member of the oldest generation of the family, reveals that the suffering encountered
throughout the story is nothing new, and rather has been part of Harlem for as far back as we can

While Mama was attentive, and able to recognize the struggles of her family, the narrator is
seemingly blind to them. The beginning of "Sonny's Blues" signals the narrator's awakening to his
family's suffering. The narrator "[can't] believe it" when he read about Sonny's arrest on drug
charges and becomes faced with news Sonny's drug problem and arrest; he becomes "scared, scared
for Sonny" (122). Sonny's arrest makes him "become real to [the narrator] again." This signals the
narrator's realization of the suffering of his brother. While the narrator makes this realization in the
beginning of the story, it is not until later in the story, while the narrator is struggling over the death
of his daughter that he reaches out to Sonny. The narrator's own suffering "made [Sonny's] real"
(139). This shows that the narrator reaches out to Sonny largely in order to make sense of his own
suffering due to his daughter's death. As the story progresses, the narrator's past blindness to the
suffering of his family becomes more and more evident. The narrator says things such as "I had
never really noticed it before," and "strange, suddenly, to watch, though I had been seeing...all my
life" when he is discussing Sonny's struggle with addiction, indicating his gradual realization of his
previous blindness (141). Sonny's situation and the narrator' grief over this blindness lead the
narrator to take Sonny in and try to help Sonny work toward resolution of these issues. Much like

herself as a delinquent through what is named a " fiasco." She passes on for her wrongdoings
similarly as Christ kicked the bucket for the transgressions of man, and she is reclaimed. O'Connor's
approach here reviews the possibility of the thinker Martin Heidegger, who was a solid impact upon
her. Heidegger, who held an idea called Dasein, or "being–there," felt that passing speaks to the
minute when a man's presence winds up total. Surely, for the grandma effortlessness goes to her in
her epiphany right now of her fierce passing. This is the reason the Misfit says, "She would have
been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." right now
of her passing, she is recovered on the grounds that she at long last has enough lowliness to perceive
that she, as well, is a heathen she is "there" with the Misfit and she surrenders her affecteness

The Importance Of Family Rituals
This is a great time of year to see a multitude of family rituals take place. Most people only use
these religious holidays to uphold their family rituals. This may be the only time you get to see
Uncle Bob and Aunt Jean because they do not participate in only other family rituals. When students
go off to college, this may be the only time of year that they decide to come home and be with the
family. The Bible states in Psalm 133:1, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity!" (King James Bible, 1973).
Why do we need Family Rituals? Family Rituals helps with all the distances and perplexity that
parental figures and children regularly feel in this quick moving society that we have. We often
become so occupied with other activities that we often neglect some rituals. For some, rituals make
living in this turbulent world less complex and steadier (Faull, 2017). Family rituals can keep the
family grounded and help them remember where they came from. They will use this time to speak
about different family rituals that have been passed down from generation to generation. Since
rituals are not only used for holidays or celebrations, rituals give the family that quality they need to
have a strong bond with each other. Family rituals are actually useful in the time of stress, it will
help reduce their psychological well–being that can manifest, by having a stable family ritual that
will help them debrief in a more sensible manner.

Friedman Family Assessement

  • 1. Friedman Family Assessement How is the family meeting affective, socialization, reproductive, economic and health care functions (See Chapters 14, 15 and 16 for more detail explanations of functions)? Identify the developmental stage of this family; what are the developmental tasks this family must achieve during this stage? What do you believe is their present ability to achieve these tasks? (See Chapter 5). What are the short and long–term stressors impinging on this family? What strengths counterbalance these stressors? How is the family reacting to these stressors (identify functional and dysfunctional coping strategies)? Formulate one nursing diagnoses for this family.

As understandable as it may be, his work schedule, there needs to be a balance between work schedule and family time, quality time. This directly ties to the second question of constructive family socialization. To me it is not enough to take the family out to eat when the time allows it and not have this type of socialization. Nowhere in the study was this mentioned. It seems as if both John and Julia try to distract from the work routine and spend some time with their children, which are a good thing, but there is no constructiveness in addressing possible changes that could benefit the family better itself. For example, John being the one out of the home the most can be discussing a possible job change or decreasing the amount of time he is out to be there more for his children and wife. This is what betters a family in my opinion even though it is difficult habit to adapt to it is totally worth trying. Economic functions The Smith's economic status is not in bad shape as I like to call it but can most definitely improve. With a combined salary of $70,000, with John's inheritance, and the way they live, it seems that they have become content with their lives. However, we have Jackie and Jorge, Julie's sister and brother in law to compare, who are doing very well economically.

Behavioral Change Exercise Paper Behavioral Change Exercise Paper on High Temper, and Anger Issues with Screaming At the beginning of the spring semester, when I read the syllabus for the Models of psychotherapy class assignments, the one that took my attention was about behavioral change exercise. I thought, this exercise could help me through my high temper combined with my anger issues by screaming all the time my family. In all my college experience this was the specific project I was really looking forward to complete. Not just for doing my homework, but also because I was thinking this will be really beneficial for my family well been and my own harmony. My behavior problem includes my high temper with anger issues including screaming at my family. Particularly towards my oldest sixteen–year–old son and my youngest fourteen–year–old son. An example for a pattern on my behavior problem is the way my children answer to me or do not answer at all, when I ask them to do their chores, or I ask them to do a specific task they do not do nothing or they ignore me.

When I got to the office my Great–Uncle was standing there with a very strange look on his face. He proceeded to say "Aunt Linda Kay went to the doctors today and they found out she was having a heart attack and rushed her to the emergency room. They took her to the catheterization laboratory and they figured out she would need a quadruple bypass." He proceeded to tell me I would be staying with him and his wife. When I got to their house they explained that the doctors would be taking blood vessels from her leg and attach them to her heart. At this point, I was crying almost inconsolably so they decided to try calling the hospital so I could talk to her. We were joking on the phone just having a good time, she made it a point to reassure me that everything would be ok because she had the number one heart surgeon on the east coast doing her surgery. At the end of that call, I knew it would not be ok because she said, "I love you to brat", which she never said to me. Sadly, that was the last time I got to hear her voice. The next morning, my family and I prayed the doctors would be able to help her. Thankfully, all her heart stents went in without a problem. One of the downsides to the surgery was that they had to put her in a medically induced coma for a couple of hours. Sunday morning my family and I were pulled from church service due to a call that would change our lives forever. She had a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

When my family comes together it is always really interesting because something always happens. Thanksgiving is usually the time when most of the family comes together because nobody wants to miss grandma's award winning food. My grandmother has won several cooking contest when she lived in the bay area. When the family comes around for Christmas, it is unforgettable because it does not happen all the time. The negative part about the whole family getting together is that there is always some type of drama. When the family gets together, there is always a fight of some kind because something is said to make someone mad. For some, this can be a stressful time but for others it is mere entertainment because the fights are over the stupidest things. When family member fight at Thanksgiving, it is usually over the food.

  • 5. Reflection Of A Good Wife In 1955, the article entitled, "The Good Wife's Guide," detailing all the ways that a wife should act in a certain ways and how best she can be a partner to her husband and a mother to her children. I believe that being a good wife runs so much deeper than making dinner, washing undies, and doing the dishes. It's about prioritizing your family and loving them with all of "your" heart. As the years pass on, the society became more open–minded about the tradition stereotype gender role. The changes also included both wife and husband were expected to help each other and the house chores was divided. The wife is not only the main charged of doing all the house works and prepare food for the family. Men were also expected to make some contribution to take part in the household works. Whomever the person went home first whether the husband or the wife, the person is expected to clean up the house if it's needed, prepare dinner for the family and expected to take care the children. Back in 1995, the wife encourages to wash the children's face, comb their hair and change their clothes. Importantly, she had to reduce all the noise of washer or vacuum and encourage the children to be quiet at the time when the husband came home because the husband had spent long enough hours at his work. When he got home, it's his time to relax and enjoy his time freely without interfering his moment.

My favorite holiday traditions and querencias are Christmas cookie making and Thanksgiving Black Friday shopping are my. The word querencia has the root of the word querer which is a spanish verb that means to desire and to want. A querencia is something one desires or something that makes on feel safe, comforted and free. The first tradition that comes to mind is Christmas cookie–making. Around December 1st, the Christmas spirit begins to spread my around house. Christmas songs slowly become more ubiquitous in our family playlists. Soon, every family member becomes a sycophant and complements one another to ensure they receive the gift he or she wants. On Fridays when I don't have much homework after dance, my family crowds around in the family room to watch "25 Days Before Christmas". As the cold white snow falls across the town and we would all watch, warm and excited. My favorite part of Christmas is baking the cookies for "Santa". My aunt, mom, grandma and I bake cookies for the entire family and two special ones for Santa. At this time we chat about gifts and shopping and share jokes. I loves this tradition because I love cooking and most of all I love being with my aunt, mom and grandma all at once.

  • 7. Prince Rogers Nelson Biography Prince Rogers Nelson, the artist known as Prince who Thursday became "formerly" with a devastating finality at only 57, was so gifted it barely can be believed, let alone described. Thankfully, it hardly needs to be, because anyone who wasn't frightened off by his flagrancies and ambiguities could tell that this was a talent of the kind that rearranges what culture can do and what a human can be–the kind possessed, for instance, by two artists who predeceased him, his contemporary Michael Jackson and his elder by a dozen years David Bowie, and a very short list of other figures in pop–music history. He was one of the finest ever pop singers, one of the most incredible guitarists (the anecdote in which Eric Clapton once replied to the question "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist alive?" by saying "I don't know, ask Prince" is probably apocryphal but, on a higher plane, definitely correct), and one of the most indelible songwriters, most influential producers, best wearers (and removers) of clothing, and most electric semiotic manipulators.

  • 8. The Negative Effects Of Technology In The Home "Technology in the Home" In today's world, there happens to be a lot of technology. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but what happens when too much of a good thing turns out bad and begins to have a negative effect on important relationships? Children and parents don't have the same kind of relationships that they had in the past. Relationships all around the world are going through a dramatic change. This is partly due to the presence of technology. Because I still live with my parents and my family I've seen a change in how families communicate with each other and how much time families spend together. Kids rarely go outside and hang out with their friends anymore and when they do, it's for very short periods of time. The first negative effect being that kids today spend a lot more time watching television, using computers and playing video games. The second negative effect is the divide that has come between parent and child. Parents have had a sort of disconnect with their children and communications between the two have dropped significantly. Another negative effect of technology in households is that parents work more and have less time to spend. And when they do have the time to spend they're on their devices checking emails at their children events or texting while eating dinner. Often times parents just don't have the time to focus on work and kids. A lot of us probably have great childhood memories. Whether it's going on camping trips with your parents, ...

No one came up with a good idea besides staying home and watching movies, but I mean that is not anything new we don't do or have not done at all. So I right away thought of any good places to go to and I had remembered of places my friends had once told me about. I told my parents and explained to them about the place. I told them that it was not a really far place to go to but it was a place where we would have to walk a lot.

When reading The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Metamorphosis, there are many parallels between the main characters. Ivan and Gregor both considered burdens on their families. The indirect characterization in each story, allows the reader to gradually follow the changing attitude of the main character, leading up to their death. Ivan Ilyich is introduced as a working man "liked by them all", although from the start you understand that he is dead (Tolstoy). This differs from Gregor 's story where he is introduced as being "transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin," and the readers do not know that Gregor is eventually going to die in the story(Kafka). In the beginning of each story both men are likeable. The indirect characterization allows the reader to analyze the behavior of each character to further understand their personality. Ivan is known as a man who places heavy importance on work. This is known early into the text. Gregor is very similar in this aspect as his own mother states to his employer, "The lad only ever thinks about the business"(Kafka). Ivan felt "the whole interest of his life now centered in the official world," creating a similar mindset with Gregor(Tolstoy). It is not until later in the text that the reader understands what a toll this takes on the family life. Gregor ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. I Must Cherish The Time With Your Family : A Short Story I believe you must cherish the time with your family! (1) I woke up and it was a new day, where everything was normal, but it wasn't, my brother wasn't there. Over the years I grew up with my brothers and two dogs which one looked like a fatten up sausage ready to be eaten. I learned to love and live with them. They were my best friends and I spent most of my days with them. Playing history games or other similar games which they were a massive part of my life. One day that all stopped when the wind died down all was left was me and my final brother. (2) I am seven years old now and out of all those seven years I lived with both of my brothers. My brothers included Avi and Daniel. Avi was the brother who made gaming fun with his strategic deployments. As for Daniel he would ruin Avi's ruins and Avi would exclaimed, " No, what Angelo you ruined our chance." As you can tell from that statement I wasn't that bright with my strategic placements. We would play till the morning dawn when the sunlight would burn your face and you are being cooked in the sizzling metal seat. (3) When I was young everything was nice I had not to be worried to be organized and time to do my homework. We didn't have any worries just me and my brothers. Well until the first one went to college. His name was Avi, though his real name was Alvaro. We all look like clones of each other which came from different timelines. The first few days I didn't realize he was gone because I was young and everything was new. (4) One day Avi told me, ¨I gotta go now.¨ I started seeing him less and less. Now, I only had Daniel, of course he stilled loved me, but I felt a piece of my heart was gone. Every weekend Avi would come again and again. (5) I didn't understand the concept of college I thought it was a playground where people play with other people. Where everything was hunky–dory like how I was now. Sometimes, Avi took us to places which were of amazement with me. With buildings that touched the sky and made me feel like an ant, so inconsiderately small to the building. The people just walked by like wind blowing in the breeze. Nothing mattered only me and my brothers. (6) Suddenly, there was many events, more than usual all at once. By the end ...

  • 12. Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun Essay I really enjoyed the movie A Raisin in the Sun. It follows a black family's struggle to reach their long anticipated dreams. These dreams, and the struggles necessary to attain them, is one of the main focuses of the movie. The movie began with a husband, Walter, and wife, Ruth, fighting over Walter's dream to make it in the business world by using an insurance check as a down payment on opening a liquor store. He believes that if someone in the family would just listen to him and put forth their trust, his dreams would become a success. This episode illustrates a major conflict throughout the story. As Walter dreams bigger and bigger he seems to leave the "smaller"' things, such as his family behind. This movement away from the family ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Once Mama receives the insurance money, she believes that the best thing to do with it is buy a new house for her family. At first she is very adamant against giving any of the insurance money to Walter because she believes that his uses for the money will not benefit the family. But, as time progress Mama sees how upset her son his because none of the family members will back his dream, so she gives him the money left over after buying the house to spend on his dream. However, Walter's deal falls through and he is faced with an even more challenging task. He is faced with the job of talking with the head of the "Welcoming Committee" of their new "white" neighborhood and pretending to be the stereotypical inferior black so that the "Welcoming Committee" will buy the family's new house for a large amount of money. But as the time draws near for Walter to put his pride away, he realizes with the help of the family that no amount of money can make up for the loss of pride and that it is sometimes better to sacrifice the goals of one for the good of many. So Walter tells the gentleman from the "Welcoming Committee" that they are not interested in selling their house to any white folks. This bold and unselfish move helps to father the family's long standing ethics, values, and pride. A Raisin in the Sun powerfully illustrates the idea that holding on to ethics, values, and pride ...

It's just easier to be invisible. Maybe that's what she meant? A few years after working for Bowafo and her whole Africa phrase, my mom went on a business trip to Georgia in 1974. When she returned, she told me that what she liked best about Atlanta was the fact that Black people passing each other on the street didn't feel the need to acknowledge one another. Not out of rudeness, but out of the fact that Atlanta, being more densely populated by black people meant you were just another person on the earth and not an oddity that was compelled to silently say – "Oh look another black person. Hello." Now as an adult I have noticed that in for myself... I've been ignored in both Atlanta AND Africa (more on that later) yet the case is different here in California. While I do endeavor to be friendly to anyone I pass on the street (particularly on my neighborhood walks) I find that when I see another Black person, especially in an area where there aren't many, we always say hello to each other.

There are a few important factors that separate the two family set ups: the quality time, the roles and responsibilities, and the development of women inside the family, as well as in the whole world. Two out of three factors can be considered as an advantage of the two career family. In terms of roles and responsibilities, it does not follow the traditional way of the labor separation. In this, the husband and the wife, has the same level of commitment in terms of home care and finances. One career family has the advantage in terms of the quality time, which is the most important aspect in a family, because it focuses on the relationship, communication, and connection between the parents and the children.

  • 16. Narrative Essay On Dorothy Camp One of the antagonists in my screenplay is Josh Camp's mother named Dorothy Camp. She is a skinny red headed woman with marble green eyes, whose main objective is to make sure her son is successful in life. Her birthday is June 15th of 1977, which makes her a gemini. This is important to note because she is constantly changing her mood and the way she decides to handle situations. She is aware that she is a Gemini and constantly uses it as excuses for her bipolar lifestyle. Furthermore, she grew up during disastrous events such as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and challenger space shuttle disaster, which contribute to her stress and anxiety. As a young child, she didn't get a lot of attention from her parents because they were always working in order to put food on the table. This made it difficult for her to get attached to anyone except a rich man named Richard Camp that she met in her twenties. At the time, she didn't realize he was wealthy because of the way he dressed, presented himself, and his occupation. Currently, she is married to him with two children that they decided to name Josh and Emily. Needless to say, the marriage changed Dorothy's entire life for the better. For example, she used to live paycheck to paycheck in a one bedroom apartment in Nevada until she met Richard at one of the local grocery stores. He was bagging her groceries unaware that he had bagged her heart. When Josh was born, she made a promise to herself that she would give him all the attention and love that was physically possible. At times, her son hates it, but she thinks it's only because he is going through a faze. Every once and awhile, she finds herself daydreaming about him at young age and their most memorable moments to date. Along with her clinginess, she easily gets offended by the simplest comments. There was this one time, where her daughter said that she looked better in the color red compared to blue and she literally didn't wear red for two years. When Emily commented about it, Dorothy acted like she didn't know what she was talking about. Most of the family try to ignore it, but sometimes her reactions become everyone's problem.

Family life during the time was simple and on a routine. Each day seemed more and more liked the day before. Each member of the family had a different impact on the community and society. Ordinary life in England consisted of being with family, working everyday, going to school, and eating food. All the members in the families had a great bond with each other even though their agendas were different. Most families consisted of a father, mother, and children with servants or apprentices.

Breakfast wasn't as important as lunch and dinner nor was it a sit–down meal. Lunch was around 11 and supper was eaten somewhere between 6–9 (Singman 132). Foods varied depending on where you lived in England. Bread, cheese, and butter were very common. Fish was a heavy part of their diet for a source of protein as well. Vegetables and fruits like apricots and cabbages were also popular (Forgeng 167). Since the water system had many problems, people preferred brewed drinks over water. Ale, which consisted of water, and spices, was a very common drink. Beer was popular in cities like London(170). When it came to cooking food, it depended on the type of kitchen utensils you had. Fire was required for boiling, roasting, or baking food. Women had to use pots with legs for most of the meals. Utensils were made from clay, iron, or copper (169). Food was a way to bring the family together after a long day of school, work, or labor. Family, going to school, working, and eating were all factors of ordinary life in the Elizabethan Era. Being with family was very important since men and boys were out of the house all day. While the children went to school, the adults worked in the house or out on the streets.

It is a holy day of the Christian religion. It is very popular because we can celebrate it with families, relatives, and friends. People are being very busy on working, they do not have enough time to share love and affection with families. They wait for festivals to meet their families and friends. Christmas is celebrated at end of every year. It is a festival of great delight, sharing, and bliss.

When the festival comes, people get together with the family and friends. Christmas is the biggest festival of the year people celebrate it doing different activities.

My grandmother has for many years been very influential in my life, whether from giving me advice or just being a strong shoulder to cry on when I need someone to listen. Grandparents teach the lessons that parents have not grasped yet, and listening to Wanda has given me years of knowledge that I myself have not received from personal experience.

Analysis Of The Book ' Family On Family ' LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DIVINITY 4MAT Book Review – Family to Family Submitted to Dr Jeff Ward, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of EVAN 525–B08 Contemporary Evangelism by Todd Bush July 3, 2016 Abstract The book Family to Family is a solid aide for the family that has lost association with itself. The very motivation behind the book as expressed by the writers is to "discover God's purpose for your family, develop a family mission statement, establish core values, make time for quality and quantity family time centered around God's purposes, and equip you to lead your children to Christ and mentor them spiritually." As the writers Pipes and Lee walk the perusers through these ranges, they demonstrate to us generally accepted methods to raise families that are focused on Christ and how guardians can render their faith to their kids and alter the course of them leaving the congregation after reaching the age of eighteen. Family to Family starts with the life of the regular church going family that tries to do an excessive amount of day to day tasks and is not associated with each other through Christ. The writers give the peruser a week after week and day to day list of activities that this normal family has and indicates how this is the reason for their detachment with Christ. Pipes and Lee use information from the American Family Association to demonstrate that "Only 34 percent of America's families eat one meal together ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 29. My Family Family is one of the most important things in life There were many lessons I have learned in my past such as to shoot gun and bow properly and that family is important. I have had some time to reflects on my lessons learned but the one that stand out the most is that family is important. For everyone they have had someone they have lost that they were somewhat close to them. Plus I think that people underestimate how much they are attached to a person until that person is dead or have passed away. Family is one of the most valuable things people have in there world. People don't realize that they are attached to them, until they aren't there anymore at all they are in a higher place. That is what I realized when one of my cousins died and one of my aunts. So that was a hard time for my family and I when my cousin died one day about 4–5 years ago. Especially when I got to see him all the time and it was really hard on our family when he died one day. That should tell people you can lose someone in the blink of an eye because it is so easy as humans to make mistakes that might cause someone else there life. That is why life should not be taken for granted because we are only humans that can do some dumb stuff sometimes. But that sometimes could be tomorrow or even today, so every time you can see family you should because you don't know when you are gonna see them again. The next time you see them could be in a coffin waiting to be buried so that shows how lives can flash and go by super fast. That is why no one should take life for granted they should live life to the fullest potential. Like my cousin he was living his life until he oded one day his roommate came in the room to see him laying down dead in his bed. Then I think I sat there for hours on end crying once I found out that my favorite cousin just died. Then about two to three years later one of my aunts died because of some sort of parkinson's disease. Which was really hard for my family and me because they died somewhat close together which brought my family even more close as people and as a family. Which was a good thing and a bad at the same time because it brought up all sorts of trouble like why we as a family went so close to begin ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 30. The Ethical Dilemma Of Music In Music And Music A patient in acute care has culturally specific music because the family believes it will help the patient. The patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the room. This ethical dilemma questions whether or not the rehab assistant should let the family continue playing the music or to stop since the patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the same room. By asking the family to stop playing the music, conflict may occur as the RA is disrupting their culture healing beliefs. Whereas if they continue to play the music, patients in the same room could become agitated which can create problems between other patients and the family. As the duty of a culturally competent RA, we will try to accommodate the patients needs where everyone is happy with the outcome while maintaining each patient's autonomy. The first option is to change the genre of music from time to time. The advantage of this is to have a mixture of music so the other patient's in the room aren't annoyed with repetitive and same language music. The disadvantage of this option is the family may get mad or upset as we are disrupting their belief process and not taking their culture seriously if we consider changing the music from time to time. One principle is justice. If the family can play their music then why can't the other patients too? There is no harm in changing the music (non–maleficence) but the family might be offended. The second option is to play the music ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

I had never thought about setting that time aside to ask myself, "what could I do with that part of my day to be more efficient?" After consideration, I realized the time I am watching the news, I genuinely was planning my day and creating a detailed map for each portion of the day. My job is divided into a split shift. The afternoons are spent at work and not with my family doing homework, bath time and the necessary preparations for the next day. I feel disconnected from that part of my family's day. If I could work less or restructure the end of my day, then that would create a connection and fulfill my family's needs. When I complete my academic/professional goals and receive my college diploma then the adjustment in my profession will evolve naturally. To execute my plan efficiently and to become more accountable, keeping a time log journal and taking personal time to write down my daily map instead of just reviewing it mentally. A visualization of the plan will help in its execution. Reading the daily map aloud is another way I lock information into my memory. I would like to monitor my success and remain on task by using a timer while keeping me aware of the time used, creating a short term goal. The timer also will create a sense of urgency to get things accomplished without losing focus. Last, the development of a support system would encourage me to be successful.

  • 32. The Theory Of The Deterrence Theory Another concept of the deterrence theory that relates to my deviance act is family ties. A family tie means that somewhere down the road, within my family tree the way we act in my family is because its how my bloodline was raised generation after generation. This concept fits right in with the deterrence theory because if someone has a family tie to a certain situation or a certain situation, then chances are they too will join in on the action. This connects to my situation because at first, when I handed my father the letter, he kind of shrugged it off and just looked at it as a stupid school assignment that I had to do to pass my class. This is because of our family ties, any male in my family, whether they are alive today, or have passed away, would have reacted exactly how my dad did. In fact thats exactly how I imagined him reacting with my first attempt to read him the letter. But once my dad had alone time, where he felt no one was going to look down on him for getting emotional, he broke the family tie and reread the letter I wrote to him and reflected on it. When I brought it to his attention that I knew that he went ahead and reread my letter, once again he denied it before finally opening up to me about everything I had written. The family ties were broken, but just between us, for a short amount of time, I don 't think either of us will ever let any other family member know what went on between the two of us for that short 20 minutes of opening up to ...

  • 35. Suffering In Sonny's Blues Mama, a member of the oldest generation of the family, reveals that the suffering encountered throughout the story is nothing new, and rather has been part of Harlem for as far back as we can trace. Mama realized the inevitability of suffering in Harlem, knowing all too well of "the darkness outside", yet aimed to have a full and meaningful life despite this suffering (131). In order to do this, she turned to the suffering of her family, particularly her husband's suffering over the death of his brother. Mama reveals just how much she did to prevent suffering within her home in her last conversation with the narrator. One thing that she did in particular was that she gave her husband a shoulder to cry on: "I know you never saw your Daddy ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While Mama was attentive, and able to recognize the struggles of her family, the narrator is seemingly blind to them. The beginning of "Sonny's Blues" signals the narrator's awakening to his family's suffering. The narrator "[can't] believe it" when he read about Sonny's arrest on drug charges and becomes faced with news Sonny's drug problem and arrest; he becomes "scared, scared for Sonny" (122). Sonny's arrest makes him "become real to [the narrator] again." This signals the narrator's realization of the suffering of his brother. While the narrator makes this realization in the beginning of the story, it is not until later in the story, while the narrator is struggling over the death of his daughter that he reaches out to Sonny. The narrator's own suffering "made [Sonny's] real" (139). This shows that the narrator reaches out to Sonny largely in order to make sense of his own suffering due to his daughter's death. As the story progresses, the narrator's past blindness to the suffering of his family becomes more and more evident. The narrator says things such as "I had never really noticed it before," and "strange, suddenly, to watch, though I had been seeing...all my life" when he is discussing Sonny's struggle with addiction, indicating his gradual realization of his previous blindness (141). Sonny's situation and the narrator' grief over this blindness lead the narrator to take Sonny in and try to help Sonny work toward resolution of these issues. Much like his mother, his purpose in life becomes understanding Sonny's struggle and attempting to prevent this suffering. In doing this, he also slowly begins to see continued suffering rampant throughout his neighborhood. He begins to hear his student's laughter to be "mocking" and "insular" and realizes that his students are also struggling (123). He also talks ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 38. The Importance Of Family Rituals This is a great time of year to see a multitude of family rituals take place. Most people only use these religious holidays to uphold their family rituals. This may be the only time you get to see Uncle Bob and Aunt Jean because they do not participate in only other family rituals. When students go off to college, this may be the only time of year that they decide to come home and be with the family. The Bible states in Psalm 133:1, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (King James Bible, 1973). Why do we need Family Rituals? Family Rituals helps with all the distances and perplexity that parental figures and children regularly feel in this quick moving society that we have. We often become so occupied with other activities that we often neglect some rituals. For some, rituals make living in this turbulent world less complex and steadier (Faull, 2017). Family rituals can keep the family grounded and help them remember where they came from.
