Gender

  Hello and welcome back to my fabulous blog,               On today’s blog we are going to talk about gender, I know this topic can be a very hard topic to talk about for some of us, but I want to share my thoughts on this topic in a way that everyone reading this will feel comfortable. Have you ever asked yourself why the difference is between a male and female? Why is that important? In the world today we tend to overlook gender some have their own meaning on what gender is and others really don’t care. So, what is the difference? Males and females can be like, but they can also be different in matters of what they do, how they act or behave, and how they communicate. I do not want to come out as if I am stereotyping males and females but the point, I want to get across is that both male and female are similar but different in many ways. Both women and men have different characteristics and different qualit...

Family Culture

 On today's blog I want to talk about culture and what culture means, so what exactly is culture? Culture from what I know can be defined as customs or traditions of people. So, have you ever asked yourself what culture you are creating within your family?  With culture and what I have learned, culture can establish your identity, if culture can establish your identity, what can creating or establishing a family culture do? Okay, but first let us talk about the how, meaning how can we create family culture?  Creating family culture can including many things, in an article I read on Ahaparenting.com gives eight reasons on how to create family culture but I only want to talk about a few.

All around the world there are so many families that have different rules, different customs, and different traditions. although there are families around world with different rules, let us go smaller and take a look at our own families or even our friend's families. what are some rules, customs, or traditions you may have within your own family? Have you ever wondered why families rules, customs, and traditions are important and why we still tend to follow them at times outside of home? in an article I read on the website "Raisingchildren.net" it talks about why these things are important, to sum it up it says that having rules, traditions, and customs give a type of security and belonging we need, it something special and something that is done together.  Family rules and what not have been drilled into our heads growing up and I think that is why we continue to follow them even when we are away from home. Take a moment to think about a rule, a custom, or a tradition th...

Family Trends and the Impacts of those Trends

 Have you as a person ever wondered what family trends are or the impact they may have? In our world today there are many trends and I want to share a few with you. The trends we see here today are delay of marriage, delay in having children, cohabitation, etc. but the one I want to focus on is delaying marriage. In an article I read "Four Reasons Why People Are Getting Married Later in Life" by Martha Stewart she gives four reasons on why marriage is getting delaying. The first reason is that there more independent, and career driven people, when you think about it people in the world today aren't focused on getting married or having children, they are more focused on where they want to take their career and what they want to do in life. The next reason is that people are using labels and titles less and less meaning that people don't like labeling their relationships. It can also mean that people dont want to enter that traditional stage, commitment, and responsibil...
