Every person in this documentary was perfectly capable of performing daily task on their own. This was one of the main reasons why I was tearing up so much; the individuals displayed in the film may have a type of disability, but they are living ‘normal’ lives. Inclusion is important to me now because no matter who you are - the desire to be a meaningful part of society is inherit in all of us. We all want to feel, included. We all need to feel like we are included.
People will often ask what makes a good or long lasting relationship. In truth there is no one answer, what works for some will not work for others, it’s about finding the balance that suits the both people. At the beginning of a new relationship, the excitement of being in that relationship helps us to not see the things the other person does which may cause annoyance. At this stage in the relationship both parties find themselves faced with everyday realities which means they have to work at the relationship to find and maintain a balance. When couples are faced with life changing events or illnesses the balance changes quickly and they will find themselves in the difficult position of facing their own feelings and fears while trying to support each other.

However, there is one rule that Washington writes that is important and that many people today have lost knowledge in which is that “every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect, to those that are present”. and that is his first and most valuable rule. Treating others with respect is something that has been lost in many people today. First, people do not know how to respect others, especially due to the technology that many have access to. The younger generation of many teens and children have lack

It is a concept I believe that is rooted in Bowen’s family systems theory since the effective use or lack of communication can greatly affect the emotional system in family relationships. It may seem like it’s impossible for family members not to talk with each other. After all, we live in the same house and see each other every single day; yet it remains one of my family’s biggest problems. Although we may live in the same house, we are so busy doing our own thing, trying to accomplish what is expected of us and never finding the time to just talk. Taking time from our busy schedules and learning to effectively communicate with each other and setting clear rules and expectations can bring greater structure and intimacy in my family.
Robertson, I strongly agree with your insight. Parents’ strong moral backgrounds can positively affect the overall ethics of their children.

Enrico felt ashamed when Flavia went to work whereas Rico see Jeannette as an equal working partner. This is because in the past a woman working just wasn’t right whereas in today’s society if there is only one working spouse it is hard to survive. Rico is also an example of the new generation of workers that survive by moving from across the network as needed. In the past in Enrico’s generation being stable was more common. Rico’s work life causes unhappiness because it forces him to uproot the more meaningful connections he can make in a family and community.
Some of the residents I’ve cared for, may have had a disability, but they were very manipulative. You have to keep in mind that you are not there to be a friend, but to assist them with daily living. I feel like the company did not properly train the employees, but at the same time, it’s common sense, and very easy to pick up on. One resident for instance, had an issue with spending money. She also had a nicotine addiction.
