Family Relations May13h-17th

This week in Family Relations we were able to discuss diversity in families. We discussed how easily it can be to judge someone when they fit into a certain class system. Our class watched a YouTube video called "Tammy's Story." Tammy was a single mother of two young sons, much like my mother only with two daughters. Tammy lived in a trailer and did not have a vehicle. Money was tight but Tammy did everything she could to provide for her family. Tammy walked 10 1/2 miles to work every day and knew that her circumstances were not perfect, but she was doing all she knew how to do. Tammy's sons were embarrassed of her and her oldest son even acted like he was better and higher up in class than the rest of his family. I think that everyone is trying to conform to the ways of the world. Everyone is trying to constantly seek attention and gain approval from each other, especially from those of a higher class. Your family can be the most important part in your life, through family love and support you can reach your full potential. There are many cultural differences, but our differences make us important and allow us to succeed.
