FAML 160 Blog

  Blog #6   This week’s blog is on transitions that occur during the early part of the marriage. To start the class, a short review was done on the different stages of dating. This included three of four steps, with the first being dating then courtship and engagement. Covered in class was the proposal of marriage. Today, the couple tends to talk about this area before the actual proposal is made. This is unlike earlier times when the proposal could come as a surprise and the parties involved may or may not have been aware of the others intentions. One of the side notes covered was when the male would get on his knee/s. Proposing was similar to being knighted in the old days. This is where the queen would be showing domination with knight getting down on one or both knees and the queen would take a sword in her hand placing it on his shoulders and then reach out her arm to help the new knight back up.

 Faml 160 Blog #5   Today's blog is on a rather interesting subject which is dating and marriage.

This has changed in today's society because of this being the digital age, Giving us access to people with much different ways. Sharing friends means there's a greater chance that you can get better information on the video that is of interest. It's also if you share schools in that it's hard for the other individual to hide out without comments being made into their actions for their off-school activities this would be part of the knowledge of the community. You'd also have

  Faml 160 blog #4   This part of the week's blog is on the gendering which is a word that has different meaning today than compared to even just a few years ago. a quick online look gives the definition of gender “is meaning reflecting the experience, prejudices, or orientations of one sex more than the other. Gender on the other hand is something we express sometimes intentionally and sometimes without thinking. This can be done in a number of ways such as way we dress or move, or hairstyle or how we interact with others”.   Both of these definitions come from online. Some of the difference can be broke down into two definitions with one being female and the other being male. With characteristics listed under each in some being responses and or observations.

Trends have a indication of what's happening in a family while theory is a way to try and explain the phenomena that is occurring. This can lead to wise family decisions by being informed. Culture it's things that are shared values and beliefs within our society cultures culture will affect the family. Studies show that culture and your family builds up society. Tradition is an inherited belief while culture is changing all the time. As individuals we can help change family culture. what are the things that study has shown is that money is not the biggest problem for family dynamics. we spent time thinking of what kind of class we want to be in what the culture is to be.   The second part of the class week was covering a imaginary immigration family from Mexico.
