In contrast to the other stories in the textbook, “Albert and Esene,” by Frances Khirallah Noble was very interesting because it shows us at first how important to have a good relationship between a husband and a wife. Then it was a happy ending story. In the story, Albert was a good husband to his wife Esene by being there for her anytime she needs him even though she didn’t has a child. All he did is to make the marriage more interesting than ever by treating her as a lovely wife, a partner for life and as human being who has feelings and who needs affection. Marring a woman and think that she is only made to take care of the whole family, or even think that she is made to be good in the bedroom is it really the only important thing in marriage?…
We hear people tell us about how some significant event or person in their lives came along and changed everything. We also hear of some fantastic revelation someday up on the mountain, or a close encounter with nature, even a brush with some insane disaster, bringing the person onto the doorstep of death. Most people quote extraordinary event that is very unique to them and hear about how that something have come to have a great impact on their lives, changing the very manner in which they view life and perceive it. My story might not be anything spectacular, but for me it has been the one most singularly amazing event of my life.…

Television ranks as one of the most watched entertainment agents of all times throughout the world. It forms one of the most crucial means of communication used in the world today. An average American uses more than 33 percent of his time watching television than any other leisure activity. In most incidences, the television forms an important part of Americans’ life. Between the two genders, women form the largest television audience partly because of their affiliated gender roles, and their attachment to household chores. Further, women are likely to watch television more than men based on the type of programs aired are.…
My background, the combination of being Jewish and Ecuadorian as well as the people whose influence have shaped who I am today, have instilled in me a sense of morality, compassion, and tolerance. My family has always been supportive, encouraging me to explore my surroundings and take on greater challenges so that I can go outside of my comfort zone and experience all that I can be. All my life I have celebrated the holidays and traditions associated with my religion and ethnicity, thus gaining a unique perspective on the differences and similarities between them. When I visit my Bubby for Chanukah, we eat potato latkes, light the menorahs, and play with dreidels. During Christmas at Grandma’s house, we decorate the tree, eat empanadas, and…

My family consists of only four members, my mom, my two brothers and me. It was bigger when my dad was alive. He died from a cardiac arrest when I was nearly four, not realizing how tragic and irrevocable the event of his death was for my mom and my siblings, I could not utter even a tear, I was not being merciless or cruel toward my father, for I loved him so much and tried to spend as much as time with him as I could.…
There are people in my life who influence me, but as I look at all of my relationships, I realize that the one individual I look up to the most is my mother. My mother is a home maker who does not have a prestigious career and is not well known by many. This may cause people to question why I look up to her so much but my mom is a significant influence on me, as she supports me, is driven to do her best and is an example of a great leader.…
Growing up in a small town wasn't always easy for me. I felt that I was constantly hiding and denying the person that I was and the life that I lived. I was forced to be someone that I really wasn't due to the fact that I had a "family secret" that I was withholding in order to protect the well-known, family name, Hutcherson. In highschool, no one but family members and close friends knew that I lived with an alcoholic father. As a child I was always taught to keep our family life secret and never let people know the struggles that our family faced. People always thought that I had the best of everything because of the material possessions I accumulated from my dad. They assumed that because our family had money, we were problem free - and oh, how wrong they were! It was until my senior year at Halls High School that I kept leading people on to believe a lie. I finally got tired of feeling as though I was two different people with two different lives.…
thorny question for many policymakers is, “What is a family?” Definitions abound, but consensus does not. How we define the family is often hotly-debated because the definition has significant consequences in people’s lives. Government agencies often have to define what a family is in order to determine who benefits from their program and who does not. Towns or cities often have to define families in developing zoning and housing regulations. Family definitions can have a bearing on access to such resources as health and life insurance, educational, recreational, and mental health services. Furthermore, definitions sometimes convey societal beliefs about what is “normal” and “acceptable” and thus, by implication, what is “deviant” or socially sanctioned. In this section of the briefing report, we will begin by summarizing the diversity of American families. Then we will review three definitions proposed in the scholarly literature and the consequences of each. Finally, we will take a historical look at how the family is defined in Wisconsin law.…
ver heard the saying, “blood is thicker than water”? If yes, you know it means no bond is tighter than your family. In our families we love, serve, teach, and learn from each other. We share our joys and our sorrows. Family ties may bring us difficult challenges, but they also give us strength and some of our greatest happiness. Through my own personal perspective, if you don’t have family, you don’t have anything. Thinking to yourself, you have it all, each time you see them cross your path. Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family.…

During my 18 years, I’ve learned how important family is. Your family will always be there for you no matter what. My family supports me in everything I do. All their time and money cannot express how much they love me because love is more than any of that. Love between families is a special bond of time, laughs, smiles and memories. Love is something that family doesn’t have to say to each other because we already know and I am blessed to have a family that loves me in every way possible.…
