Recommended: Confucian influence on Chinese society

After reading the “Family Instructions for the Mui Lineage”, It was interesting reading that some people have instructions to the way they are supposed to live. I still believe that still happens today. Like in multiple countries, girls have to marry at such a young age or dress a certain way and have to abide by those rules. Often times it's a tradition. I found some things understandable and confusing. Some of the Instructions are somewhat similar to what my family believes; for example, “ Those who know how to keep what they have but do not study are as useless as puppets made of clay and wood”. I don’t think people should be called useless because you never know what that certain person goes through or what mentality they have and I can

  • Summary Of The Genogram Journey

    127 Words  | 1 Pages

    If I were to look at my family through the lenses of Bowen’s family system theory mentioned in The Genogram Journey: Reconnecting with your Family by Monica McGoldrick, most of the time we would not follow the listed “norms.” Mike is the oldest and Bowen suggests that he should be serious, the leader, and ambitious. Mike is none of these attributes. Mike is the smartest of the siblings. On the science portion of the ACT, he made a 32. The quality Mike is missing tends to fall towards self-motivation. He has worked in multiple fast food careers but ends up quitting when the job gets difficult. His mother, Christine, tends to bend to his every need while our father does not talk to him about adult responsibilities.

    In the real world, family is more than a unit; it is care and mostly love. In conclusion, life without experience or memory is meaningless.  When all freedom is taken away from an individual, that person will not strive to make a better tomorrow.  These people are missing the freedom to choose their future.  Starting from success, family and their individuality has been taken.  Furthermore, most people in reality need love and happiness to go on and survive.  While we try to fix our lives with all the scientific ways, we are forgetting the most important parts of nature & nbsp; & nbsp;

  • Linkage Analysis Of Pedigrees

    1669 Words  | 4 Pages

    A pedigree, which is also called a genealogy, can be formally defined as “a group of individuals together with a full specification of all the relationships among them” (Thompson, 1986). Pedigrees can be shown graphically. One example of a pedigree is shown in Figure 2.3. By convention we use a square to denote a male and a circle to denote a female. Horizontal lines below couples are used to represent marriages. Parents and their children are linked through vertical lines. The individuals who are in the same level in the pedigree are in the same generation, often denoted by Roman numerals. Each person in each generation is labelled by Arabic numbers. Individuals with data e.g. those who are affected by a disease, are shown by shading. By

    According to Tom’s genogram, there are no serious indicators of familial physical or mental illness. The only possible indicator would be his paternal great grandmother who committed suicide, but there was not enough information to know the cause behind her suicide since it was a family secret until recently.

With both paternal grandfathers currently diagnosed with cancer, Tom shared some concern of that he may have a predisposition for cancer.

  • My Family Heritage Analysis

    550 Words  | 2 Pages

    My family is from Mecklenburg County which is located near the southern tip of Virginia and we are of African American descent. Although our family line has some Cherokee Indian in it, we identify most as Black. Being from the south, I was raised with a Baptist based background and learned to always treat people as I would want to be treated regardless of how different they were. As a kid, we attended Sunday School and Worship every Sunday and Bible Study once during the week. When I got older, my family allowed me the opportunity to explore and determine which religion I identified most with, and it still remains as Baptist. My knowledge of my culture goes back as far as my great grandmother who was a mid-wife and delivered all the children in my family and in the community where she lived. My grandfather joined the Navy at a young age and fought in Pearl Harbor dung World War II. After serving our country he returned to Virginia to work as a farmer on our family’s land. He even assisted other local farmers. My grandmother was a housekeeper for most of her young adult life. She became a housewife raising seven kids. Our choice of food is called soul-food, which is a variety of comfort-food (that sticks to your soul) such as

  • Reflection Of Family Genogram

    1031 Words  | 3 Pages

    Creating my personal genogram was a valuable experience for me. By mapping out my family’s structure, and considering the dynamics of the relationships therein, I am able to see how each member of my immediate family took on specific roles and that addictions are present on both sides of my family. My paternal grandmother, Ginny, was an alcoholic and passed this trait to my father. My mother demonstrated signs of substance abuse through smoking and drinking, and both parents passed these to my sister and me: Whitney struggled with various addictions, the most severe of which was methamphetamine and I have had an ongoing struggle with smoking and past experiences with anorexia.

  • What Is A Family?

    940 Words  | 2 Pages

    The idea of family is different from person to person. Regardless of the differences, everyone’s family is unique and special in their own way. No one can judge or discriminate against people for their meaning and interpretation of what a family looks like. For example, family may have two parents; one parent; or no parents (since these are brief phrases, semi-colons shouldn't be used). The variation and differences between families makes culture and society so diverse. Family does not have limitations or boundaries (true). As long as the definition of family contains the qualities of unconditional love, and endless support, help, and guidance; all different families (awk) will be able to succeed and achieve a greater feeling of happiness and a sense of belonging and acceptance.

  • My Paternal Family Of The United States

    My paternal family is 100 percent Italian. They embody many stereotypes you hear about Italians. They are extremely loud, they talk with their hands, and I have not been to a single family event where there has not been pasta, fish, or some antipasto. Moving to America when you have all of these traditions at home may seem crazy, but that’s exactly what my family did. My father is the first in his family to be born in the United States. He was born in 1959. My Aunt Angie, Uncle Dom, nonna (Ninetta), nonno (Giuseppe), and their aunts, uncles, parents were all born in Italy.
