In some ways, things will remain the same. These changes and experiences will help shape our lives and expanded our cultural knowledge. As college rolls around one of the biggest things that people think about is their roommate. For most people living at home involves having their own room. This is a major difference that is a tough transition for some.
I also found that when I became senior in a different home an “induction” period where I received supervision and support was beneficial. I also did a couple of visits to the home to get used to the new environment and meet the staff team. The induction period is important for the organisation as it forms the basis of having a strong staff group throughout the homes especially as the company is growing. If a strong induction
Convey describes three distinct stage of personal growth that I move through as I develop habits for effectiveness in life. As an only child, all my childhood, I depended in my parents for everything. When I was in college, I associated with more people. I was independence to take responsibility for my own actions. After that I came to America, I realize that I need help from other people around me.
This ring in Bronfrenbrenner’s ecological systems for me represents my family life. While living at my mother’s house she taught me the things I needed to know in order to be able to move out on my own and be a responsible adult. She also taught me the essentials I needed to become a mother and raise a family. From my mother I learned how to manage a house hold, prepare meals, and care for another person. The exosystem ring of Bronefenbrenner’s ecological systems influenced my life due to the major changes in the economy around me.
Functionalists such as Parson, Young and Willmott (1973) and Fletcher (1966) believe that the classic extended family (more than two generations of family e.g. including grandparents and cousins living together in one household) is mostly disappearing in the UK and its replacement the privatized nuclear family (family of two generation of married heterosexual parents with their own children who lives isolated from their extended kin and community), is emerging as a family form most suited to life in contemporary British society. Parson’s Function Fit Theory explains that privatized nuclear family meets the need of society as it is socially and geographically mobile, in which it can easily move up and down the social scale in our meritocratic society (a society in which status position is based on individual’s merits and etc., rather than what family you were born into) and can easily move to places for the sake of work. However, Postmodernists argue that we no longer have clear structures such as the nuclear family, but instead a greater fragmentation and diversity of family types and lifestyle (Item 2B). This essay aims to explain and evaluate the view that there is greater diversity of family types and lifestyle today in contemporary British society.
The family is a basic subsystem of the larger society. It is a building block to a bigger and better community. Everyone is born into some sort of a family or home, though there are orphanages. In our family of origin we learn to grow, develop, become socialized, develop morals, share, learn to deal with conflict, and become educated to go out into the bigger world. At this point in time my definition of family is a group of two or more people who desire to be together, to share things and ideas, and care for each other, to support each other, and contribute for the good of the whole.
In the first few years of life, we depend on our parents to feed us, bathe us, entertain us, soothe us, and so much more. We are slowly introduce to the world and how it works through our parents. Families all have different cultures beliefs, therefore not every child will be influence by the same things or in the same way. In our school age years, we form groups among our peers. As human beings, we all want to be noticed, accepted by others, and feel as though we belong.
My brother was the oldest and my sister was the baby, and many of my friends were a few years older than me but we all had the mind of a child. This was a developing process for me. During my studies, I find myself in Erikson shoes. The thing he talks about is relating to me. For as a child I experienced many of the things that he is talking about.
I could have taken a year off from school if I wanted, but I took the challenge of gaining many new responsibilities, which help me grow as an adult each day. I have met many new people coming into this school more than I ever thought I would. My teachers are very diverse, and it is a lot of hard work adapting to different teaching habits. One person I can really say that has helped me through all these different obstacles would have to be my friend Maranda. Yes, we have known each other before attending college but this transitioning stage in life has really opened my eyes to my own reality.
When you return home you still have to work at developing your learning curve when it comes to how to balance work and home. Schedule your family time and unplug your connection to work; literally. During scheduled family time no electronic equipment that brings you mentally or physically back to work should be in operation. Wait until after family time to check in. There is more to the development of concepts like balance, work, home, and family than just coming home and spending time together.
