Sit down, grab your favorite blanket, and take a read! 😊


 

Hi! It's me, Hannah. I am excited to start this blog today. If you are interested in hearing my thoughts from the classes I've been taking, continue to read and follow. I love families and have always had a passion for them. I am starting a blog for my thoughts on the class called "family relations" that I am taking at Brigham Young University Idaho. If you're interested in reading or sharing your thoughts about families... sit down, get comfy, and take a read! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

😃

Back to Eden is Not Onward to Zion - the importance of family work

Image
"In almost every facet of our prosperous, contemporary lifestyle, we strive for the ease associated with Eden. . . . Back to Eden is not onward to Zion.”  (Bahr, 2021) In this blog I am talking about family work. Throughout time, the definition of work, play, and leisure has changed. People view recreation far different than they did in the past. Work nowadays takes fathers and mothers away from the home. In the 1800s, work was in the home. Conversations and family togetherness time looked like planting a garden, making the meals, feeding the animals, and making things from home. They got to spend time with their families doing these things. The idea of a public parks for kids to play on did not even develop until 1830s. People wouldn't go out on boats for vacation. Their family fun was sledding in their backyard on a homemade wood sled. Their family time was working in the yard next to dad. If you've ever tried gardening or working long enough with someone, you find that ...

Overpopulation and China's One Child Policy

  Today we will dive into quotes from the article titled "China's one child policy: the policy that changed the world." Begin by reading these first two paragraphs.  " T he Chinese one child policy is unique in the history of the world. It was a source of great pain for one generation, but a generation later it began to yield important economic benefits.

Even with the one child policy—as a result of the high birth rate a generation before—China still has one million more births than deaths every five weeks.

Circular Causality, Symbolic Interactionism, and Perspectives

Image
Have you ever felt misunderstood by a family member? Or maybe you could not believe why another family member would act a certain way! These are normal feelings. They happen to everyone.  On a family vacation to Disney World, my sister was riding in the car looking out the window and casually says to my mom, "I feel like Rock (our 10 year old brother) hasn't been connecting with us lately. I feel like I haven't seen him much. He is quiet in the car and when we go on rides he's talking to the friends his age." It was silent for a second and I posed the question "Chloe, what if it's not just Rock not connecting with you? What if it's also you not connecting with Rock?" Whoa! She kind of laughed a little as I began to teach what I've been learning in school about "Circular Causality."  Circular Causality is found and talked about in the Family Systems Theory. Yet we will also discuss the Symbolic Interaction Theory (as it has great app...
