Question:With all the diversity in our country, and the large number of broken homes that leave children looking for someone to call family. How come that still in this country so many people think that a "proper " family must consist of a mother and father? Gay and Lesbian couples face a lot of resistance against them adopting or having children. Nobodies family is perfect, everyone has the crazy aunt, deadbeat dad , racist cousin or whatever in their family, and they all have kids! Family is family someone who loves you for you no matter what, For good or bad!
Quote:"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one." Jane Howard 1978
Fact: "Today, social and family researchers agree that family membership holds a wide spectrum of possibilities.
Questions:
1. Families is defined in the book in many ways, I would define it as a group of dysfunctional people that love and support each other. They Help influence who you are and help to shape your morals, values, and self worth through out your life.
2.I don't know if its possible to describe the number family structures today. In a culture so diverse and with so many variants, as soon as you may think you have identified them all there will be just as many that forgot or don't know of. The Family configurations today have changed radically in the last 50 years, and I believe they will continue to change, adding even more diversity to our society.
3. Families play a huge role in passing traditions and culture to their children, from traditions to values and morals to work habit and family roles. Many people exhibit the same roles that they were raised with even if they don't see it in themselves other family members usually do.

EDU 308 On-line: Visual Stories: "Please post your visual story here. Tell me about your: goals, obstacles, and your hobbies. Use a metaphor or a simile to describe your goal..."
My goals are like plants. They continue to grow and change. Right now my goal is to recieve my dregree, be a good father, and husband as well as be a strong positive role model for my entire family.
My obstacles are like the weather. they are ever changing and with each new storm fron comes another obstacle. Some are small storms with little stress, while others build and build until they have run their course. They all pass though and lead to a new and brighter day!
My hobbies are like a single blade of grass blowing in the wind. They involve Gardening, Music, Reading,Art, Skateboarding, and most importantly playing with my son! Changing diapers also seems to be a hobbie, That I can't wait quit!
