Thinking ?

WHY SOME PEOPLE SAID “SILENCE IS GOLD” BUT OTHER’S SAID “TALK ARE GOLD”

WHY SOME PEOPLE SAID THAT “COW IT’S A HOLLY CREATURE” BUT OTHER’S SAID THAT “COW IT’S JUST A CATTLE”

WHY SOME PEOPLE SAID “MONEY IT’S AN HAPPINESS” BUT OTHER’S SAID “MONEY IT’S NOT A TRUE HAPPINESS”

THE ANSWERS………

It all Depends on How the way you Look into the RealityThe reality of Silence, of Talking, The Holly Animal, A Cattle, Money or

Happiness.

The exact thing is the way you View the Reality were very

Significant, it became the Basic of How we Behave

For example

When we see the reality of “Money means Happiness” then don’t get shock when we found our self spend almost half of our life to make Money…… though it’s dirty money

THE WAY OF VIEWING REALITY ?

The way of viewing Reality are something that we believe as something Real, Usual, Acceptable also the Otherwise, or in other words how we Interpret

our world (physically or socially) and also how we Response to it

This kind of Perspective we get it from the Culture we had adopted, that’s called

The Importance Of Family

It’s the oldest and fundamental of all human Institutions

A very effective means of providing social regulation and continuity

“The family is the principal transmitter of knowledge, values, attitudes, roles and habits from one generation to the next. Through word and example, the family shapes a child personality and instills modes of thought and ways of acting that become habitual (DeGenova & Rice)

- Familial patterns evolve over time, it is difficult to arrive at a single of what constitutes a family - In spite of family forms, most experts have agreed on general definition that is broad enough to include polygamists, same sex marriages, single parents, and unwed mothers- Noller and Fitzpatrick, define family like this as “a group of intimates who generates a sense of home and group identity, compete with strong ties of loyalty and emotion, and an experience of a history in the future

Definition Of Family

Forms of FamilyNuclear Families - Typically identified as a parent or parents and a child or

children - Developed Countries - In Child-rearing practices;

Less regimentation and less emphasis on obedience exploration and creativity are encouraged

- Old members in nuclear families; Spend their twilight years in retirement communities and nursing homes instead of the homes of their children

Extended Family- Typically include grand parents and relatives.- Developing and undeveloped nations- Insist on obedience and are more organizes around rules then

are nuclear families

Globalizations and Family

The catalysts for many of the worldwide shifts in family structure can be found in globalizations.

Globalizations have altered the ideas of traditional families for millions of people

The two characteristic for globalization that have been responsible fro this changes are Mass Media and Migrations.

Mass Media- Billions of people could connected

through satellite applications and wireless internet. Etc.,

- Families in all parts of the globe are seeing images that stress nudity than modesty; anorexic thinness

than health; cars cloth and money instead of spirituality;

competitiveness than cooperation …..

- Globalize media sources have created an alternative set of values

that are now offered to families throughout the world

Families are struggling to blend traditional patterns with the new ones being thrust upon them by

globalizations. Families around the world are richly varied

Migrations- Globalization has created a world

where millions of workers leave their families and move from one country

to another to seek jobs or higher wages

- Migrations has an impact on the social lives of both the migrants and

they families leave behind

Eg; when father or mother migrates to another country

seeking work, the entire dynamic of the family change
