Family Relations - James

Dating. The concept and purpose of dating has drastically changed, from the days of before to our current time. When one decides to spend time with another person, they dedicate many things to the individual. First, they dedicate their time. Time is something that is irreplaceable. To choose to spend time with another individual demonstrates a great deal of respect. It should be noted and much more respected. Second, one who spends time with another individual also dedicates a level of trust. When you are one on one with an individual, you trust yourself to be in the presence of the individual. You may also trust them to share even the most basic information, such as your name. When one is together with another, it is important to use that time to know one another. This gives both individuals the opportunity to connect with one another. For example, if two individuals were to spend their time not communicating with one another, both will still become strangers at the end of the day. Su...

Character traits. These are special indicators that tells someone how someone behaves. They tell us who we are, how we act, and what we like. These traits are often associated with gender. For the purposes of this work, I will be comparing both the genders of Male and Female. When these traits are associated with gender, they often are categorized with one or the other. Regarding the family, a mother will often treat situations differently than the father. Females can be relationship orientated, seeking the best for the family relationship. Fathers are usually spatial orientated, aware of their surroundings and of any possible threats. Mothers tend to solve issues with words, while fathers tend to solve issues in a physical manner (this does NOT imply abuse). Women are caregiving, treating the needs of others. Men tend to be independence, seeking to solve any issues on their own. Females seek communication, while males seek action. Why is it this way? Can a male possess the same charac...

The family is something that many of us have. Families share a lot of similarities. They also share many differences. With so many families living in many different parts of the world, there are bound to be connections between multiple families.   Families, all around the world, live in very different circumstances. The general public will tend to divide these two different circumstances with the terms of high class and low class. What determines the position of a family within these terms? The amount of education received, the career path taken, dress and grooming, living conditions, home, and especially economic income are all factors that the public determines where a family places between these two terms.   Let me go on to say that one division is not necessarily better than the other. Both terms include their own personal benefits and issues that must not be compared.   What should be discussed is how families are able to bond with each other, regarding t...

W hile in discussion with others, I learned that we tend to have similar roles as a member of the family. The Peacekeeper: The one in the household who seeks peace in the family. They desire no conflict among the family. I like to think of them as the superhero of the family. Whenever conflict is present, they are present to calm the conflict down and present a solution that brings peace. Family members may tend to seek advice from the peacemaker regarding even the littlest conflict present in the family. The Leader is the one that takes control in the group. This can be direct or indirect. For example, let’s say there is a decision to be made between you and your siblings. If they tend to always rely on you for the answer to the decision, you most likely are the leader of the group. The Gatekeeper: The one who connects the family together. This can occur in a variety of scenarios. One commonly scenario is when a child is the connection between the mom’s side of the family and the dad’...
