Harald came from a lower-middle-class mercantile family. His own father kept a general store in a small town near Oslo. He had three daughters and two sons, both of whom emmigrated and flourished. Harald had lost his left forearm in a boyhood accident, but didn´t allow the disability to prevent him from making a similarly successful career. By 1905, at the age of forty, he had built a comfortable home for his first wife, Marie, and their two-year-old daughter, Ellen, in Llandaff.
Alice has been married and divorced twice and has two grown children, Kim (32) and Jonathan (30) from her first marriage. Alice grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood just south of Phoenix.

Chapter 2: Quote: All the older men are linked up with their previous lives. They have wives children, occupations, and interests, they have a background which is so strong that not even war can obliterate it. We young men of twenty, however, have only our parents and some perhaps a girl. Relevance: It is relevant because they are showing how young they are and inexperienced. Personal Response: It means to me that they haven’t exactly experienced life yet before they decided to enter the war.
I talked to my parents (for as long as I could stand) about their view on what it means to be an American, and they put most emphasis on the fact that being an American means we have rights available to us like nowhere else in the world. The United States of America is a country that is based on the fact that it’s citizens have more freedom than anywhere else. But “freedom” is as broad of a term as “American”, and we use the word a lot
She was the oldest out of eight siblings; she had both 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Due to the many siblings she had, she wasn’t able to attend college, thus being able to meet my grandfather Clearance in the year 1955. Together they had a total of six kids, in which my grandmother stayed home and cared for them, while my grandfather open and ran his own personal construction business. Much is to be said about my grandmother, but I could talk days on end about her. She is by far one of the most influential people in my life, her hard-work and optimism are just two of the things I admire most about her.
Savannah Albanese Mr. Muro POS 2112 01M April 28. 2013 Research Paper: Gender Equity Nowadays, nearly fifty-percent of all marriages in the United States ended in a divorce. In most situations, if there are children involved, the mother is automatically the primary caregiver simply because she is the mother. Fathers are often given little time with their child and limited rights to them. A lot of the time this is simply because he is the father and not the mother.
I was 260 lbs at age 16, which qualifies as obese. Over a 4 month period, I went on a heavy diet and I lost 60 lbs. It’s my single greatest achievement in life, and one that I am extremely proud of. It is because of this experience I went through that shapes who I am. When I was overweight, I had to make up for the lack of my appearance through my personality.
[pic] Why I am proud to be an American It is a great honor to be an American. Every morning when I awake I am reassure that I live in a country where I am free to make my own decisions. On my way to school I am reassure that although I am a girl I can still get an education, because in other parts of the world girls are not allowed to attend School. In America we have more privileges than many other nations. I can choose my own religion and I am proud to be an American because I wake each day knowing that who I want to become, is entirely up to me.
Since my parents were both born in Mexico and moved here at the legal age of eighteen to experience a better life in the so called “Land of the Opportunity”. They always tell my brother and I that they have always been seen as minorities everywhere they go, except at home. Home is where ever the family is, and family is all we need to feel loved and accepted. I hope to make parents proud and show them that all of their hard work and sacrifice has paid
Family a Socialization Agent Families are considered the most important aspect of a person’s socialization development. Centuries before the family unit was known as families they were called kinships which “referred to a social network of people based on common ancestry, marriage, or adoption (Kendall, 2013, p. 435). Families are defined as “relationships in which people live together with commitment, form an economic unit and care for any young, and consider their identity to be significantly attached to the group” (Kendall, 2013, p.435). Sociologist Jean Piaget founded four stages of development in human cognition. His first two stages is perhaps the best explanation as to why the family unit is considered the most important aspect of a person’s socialization development.
