Culture and Family

Hello again! This week in class we talked about how different cultures effect the family and how families affect culture. Each family has its own culture with its own sets of values, beliefs, traditions, and rules. We looked at the "unspoken rules" in our families. This is a really fun exercise! For example, is there one parent you go to when you want one thing and another when you want something else? Do you have a certain place you sit at the dinner table but you were never assigned to sit there?

We also talked about how many families together makeup a larger culture. This could be based on religion, geographic area, social class, or any other number of things. Each culture has positives and negatives, some more than others, but each is valuable.

I really like the following song and I think it fits in with this topic. Whether it is accepting family members, other families, or other cultures, we can find good in everyone.

I hope you all have a great week!
