You must always maintain a respect for one another, in words and actions. It is a terrific blessing for a long time. Marriage is what you make of it. The changes that stand out to Viola in family life today are men and women roles are more alike than ever before. The wives no longer cook for the family or take care of the children and the husband is no longer the primary sources for the family.
Having a baby comes with a lot of responsibility and dedication to devoting your time to nothing else. It may seem like your life is ending if you have a baby or you’ll never be the same. But your life is only just starting and you’re right your life will
Social and emotional developement. Learning to live with others in both family and society is generally one of the most important part's of development, family and friend's play an important part towards this. The socialisation is all about learning to cope in the family and society we live in. The socailisation process will by it's definition vary in diffrent societies and from family to family. Primary socialisation take's place with in the family,in the first years of a childs life.
People are living longer and working towards setting and reaching personal goals, traveling, establishing careers, stabilizing finances, becoming more educated and building relationships. The social clock to hurry to get married and have children no longer ticks as loudly as it did generations ago (Berger, 2011). Expectations of adulthood have changed and the decision to wait on having children later in life is becoming a preferred route to take (Rowan, 2012). Middle adulthood brings much strength to the realm of parenting including, experience, established relationships and emotional stability. Conversely, there are challenges to be faced in delaying parenthood such as loss of energy, the age gap, and the stigma of societal perceptions (Tips for Parents, n.d.).
As these generations age, society changes as well as the family values. Adjustments are made to meet both individual and society needs. The three key processes in which children learn values and develop character should start with the forming of emotional attachments, teaching of pro-social behavior, and respect for authority; and abiding by the rules both within the family structure and society. The forming of emotional attachment should start at birth. First the infant bonds with its mother.
These family structures have seen a rise in the last few years, and because of them their parenting styles must be catered and altered to fit the family lifestyle and work for the child and parents. Authoritative Parenting
Parsons explains the four basic problems that a society must confront in order to survive. The four basic problems are adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latent pattern maintenance. Within the family, adaptation is described as “resources are allocated within the family to support family involvement, including dependent children” (Morimoto, 2013). With goal attainment the family has priorities that ensure the goals are met. Essentially, the father will obtain the resources needed to survive for the family and the mother will support the father’s ability to do so (Morimoto, 2013).
I fell like society has influence us in so many level, that it forces us to grow up faster than we supposed to be. We live in a society that the older generations ask so much of us, that we forgot what it means to grow. The responsibility that I feel that I am obligated to be is a caregiver to my mother. As much as I take pride of being there for her when she in need, it also influenced me to see the future sooner than a normal twenty three year young adults would. 2.
Mortimer J. Adler, author of Adult Education, believes one cannot be educated with only formal schooling. He contends a person must have life experiences to mature them. He believes education is a combination of formal schooling, life experience and maturity. Although I agree with Adler's general concept, I do not agree with his all encompassing notion no child can have any of these experiences. Significant life events can happen to us at any age, a person does not have to be old to have life experiences.
Together, these changes contribute to advances in one’s identity. Many aspects of the life course that were once socially structured such as marriage, parenthood, religious beliefs, and career paths are increasingly left to individual decision. Emerging adults play a more active role in their own development than at any earlier time. As they explore, they often face disappointments in love and work that require them to adjust, and sometimes change, their life path. It is therefore important an individual has social support to foster resilience.
