Recommended: The importance of family

Affected by my father and mother, I consider family as my first priority. We care about each other and think that we will never ask anything for in return. But that is not the case. We often ask people we love for compliance with our will. Therefore, we will be glad to see that someone can meet our expectations of that person. Our point is that I give so much to you, why you do not abide by my desicion or rules? Our logic sometimes ruin the relationship between people and us.
My brother is thirteen years younger than me; now, I am an adult, but my brother is still a kid, who is in second grade in primary school. Even though we are brothers, we have a generation gap between us; after all, we were born in different centuries. More important, …show more content…

What I experienced before trains me how to react in certain situations. When he grew up gradually, my brother was becoming naughty and often acted in a way that my parents could not bear. My parents sometimes were unable to bear my brother’s misconduct so they criticize him loudly and impatiently. I didn’t agree with what my mom has done with my brother and thought that was the nature of a kid, telling my mom to be patient. I was always thinking that parents’ impatience would hurt my brother’s heart and even ruin his self-esteem. However, I never realized what happened to my parents would happen to me until I stayed with my brother alone and he was mischievous to me. Or sometimes his reaction to a certain situation conflicted with my expectation. Therefore, I couldn’t repress my anger with my brother and lost my patience like my parents. What was worse, I never imagine I would shout at him and even hit him for two times. After hitting my brother, I regretted it and felt nervous. During that …show more content…

I have no right to tie him down. Love could not be a bargaining chip. If so, do I still love him? I think I would be selfish if I told my brother to obey me because I care about him. I used to think obedience to me was a form of return or respect. But now I know I care about my brother because I want him to have a better childhood. I will not preach to my brother; instead, I will communicate with him and listen to his

  • biography of Arthur Ashe jr.

    1037 Words  | 3 Pages

    Arthur was the first born just as I was, except he was the first and only while I on the other hand have three siblings. We were both born into extremely loving and caring families. Arthur was raised by extremely strict parents and was not even allowed to go out after school or hang out with friends as I do occasionally. His father just like my parents set goals for self-reliance, discipline and responsibility. Because of those goals Arthur began to take great pride in his reputation. I also feel as if I’m always being judged. We have both been called “quiet” people but Arthur eventually grows out of that and my parents tell me I’m beginning to do the same. Both of our parents, to our displeasure, force us to do our numerous chores before anything else. The difference lies within the punishment for disobeying our parents wishes. The so called “beatings” that Arthur received in his time were nothing unordinary yet if those beatings were to occur today they would be seen as wrong and inhumane.

  • Family Issues In Brave New World

    1107 Words  | 3 Pages

    When everyone is influenced by different people, they will all have different mindsets and personalities, which results in individualism. Mustapha Mond proclaimed, ”The greatest care is taken to prevent you from loving any one too much,” (pg. 161). The strong emotional tie associated with family disrupts the productivity of an individual which threatens the stability of society. Family issues such as divorce or death of a loved one negatively impacts the quality of work one produces because instead of focusing on the assignment, the person is focusing on their family. On the other hand, modern society views “the family was the most important unit of society…It played an essential role in fulfilling the emotional and physical needs of individuals, which was necessary for the achievement of economic and social development,” (www.un.org). Modern society believes that families are essential to support one another in a difficult situation. When

  • High Expectations In Hotel On The Corner Of Bitter And Sweet By Jamie Ford

    1553 Words  | 4 Pages

    When our parents are trying to teach us these family rules, they have an optimistic purpose of trying to support us in some way to survive in the world, which they expect us to follow it. The main reason why parents have these expectations is because they want to help us learn these rules to see how it can have a positive behavior with others when talking to them and how to deal with angry people calmly instead of reacting to them the same way they did to us. For example, my mother always used to tell me “Never talk back to your family.” This is one of the biggest rules that needs to be followed up in my family because in India parents always teach their children not to say anything back when someone eldest is trying to talk to you. . In India, talking back to your family is very disrespectful behavior. It creates a lot of problems between family members where they argue and shout at each other for saying things which they should not have said it to the eldest member of the family. This shows how our parents have these expectations on us is because they do not want us to disrespect their elders, they want to us respect everyone and do not say things that might hurt someone’s feeling. Therefore, they want us to have a positive behavior towards everyone and treat everyone the same with respect. Following family rules can also create consequences with family members and parents. If

    Looking back at my past, I recall my mother and father’s relationship as if it were yesterday. I am only four years old, small and curious; I tended to walk around my home aimlessly. I would climb book shelves like a mountain explorer venturing through the Himalayans, draw on walls to open windows to my own imagination, or run laps around the living room rug because to me I was an Olympic track star competing for her gold medal; however my parents did not enjoy my rambunctious imagination. My parents never punished me for it but would blame each other for horrible parenting skills; at the time I did not understand their fights, but instead was curious about why they would fight.

  • Family Is Important To Me

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    To me, family is the most important thing in my life. They always encourage me to be the best I can be and nothing more. A quote that I think describes family to me is one by Alex Haley that states, “In every conceivable manner, the family is the link to our past, and bridge to our future.” Through the stories I hear from my mother and grandmother, I have a clear link to my families past and the generation of women that led to me. All the values these women held close to them throughout the years have led to the formation of myself and my values. Over the past three generations, the women in my family have overcome oppression. My mother, growing up in a time where women could never have aspirations to be CEO’s or politicians, somehow came out stronger. She saw what she didn’t want for her future, and jumped at the chance to start a new life in America. No single model of family life characterizes the American family, despite ideological beliefs to the contrary (Andersen). My family couldn’t be labeled an “Italian family” or an “American family.” We are a mix of the two cultures and ideologies, which is what makes us different. I am the first women in my mother’s family to be born and raised in America. My great grandmother had a complete different childhood and adolescence experience than I yet we still have a common cultural base. All her ideals were passed onto my grandmother, than all the down to me, a hundred years in the making to become who I am

  • My Family

    651 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever been influenced by some important person that helped you be the person that you are today? I have been. The people that have had influence on me are the most important humans beings, my family. But before I begin talking about my family, I want to describe to you the place that we spend most of the time together which also means something important to me and my family. This place is called the family room. This room is small but cozy. It is painted in white and has three windows decorated with beautiful curtains. By the windows you can appreciate a nice view of some beautiful trees and a nice pool. On the walls there are some family photos like the ones that show where my brothers and I were born, my graduation photo, some family members photos like my grandparents, and some paintings made by one of my brothers. Also inside this room there is a nice home theater that includes a nice stereo and TV, and a new compact computer. But this is not all, this room has some very comfortable furniture and I can say that they are comfortable because I use them to watch TV, a movie, or just sit and rest. Also the furniture is used by my brothers to sit and play nitendo, to study, or play with the computer. But from all this furniture there is one chair that is the most cozy chair that I have ever sat upon and that is my father's chair. So this is our room, which is very important to us and has a lot of special things, but the most special part of this room is when it brings my family together.

  • My Mother and I

    726 Words  | 2 Pages

    My mother was born on April 11, 1970 the last of ten children; her mother was in and out of her life all during her adolescent years, as she struggled with drug addiction and prostitution. My mother lost both of her parents at age fifteen and had me when she was sixteen. She married at sixteen since my father was much older than her it was required otherwise; he would have gone to jail. The relationship that I want to talk about in this essay is the one of my mothers and mine. My mother struggled to raise me, we grew up together, since she was only a child herself when she had me, and most certainly had no portrayal of what a parent should be. We have had many vicissitudes throughout my life but I would say overall things are good now. I have learned from her and I am glad things are in a much better place.

  • The Most Important Person In My Life

    Who is the most significant person in my life? Well, that is easy enough to answer. However, there is not just one significant person that is in my life. My mother and father are the most important people in my life. I couldn 't possibly just pick one of them to write about because they both mean so much to me, and there is so much to tell about the two of them. From cuts and bruises all the way up to the major stuff, such a broken heart, they have always been there to patch me up, and repair the broken heart. They are my shoulder to cry on, and my motivation when I feel like I can’t handle life. I would definitely not be the person I am today without the two of them. I’d consider myself lucky to be half the person that they are.
