Week 3

In week three of class the most interesting thing that we talk about  the different family theories. the theories consist of systems theory, the exchange theory (this one i thought was the most interesting because the balance is off when the family becomes disconnectedness) I thought that was so true..because it tend some way some how to happen in my family when we fight. the next one is family systems theory. ( I did not really like this theory because it described the family as off balance) i do not agree with this at all.

Second Week Of Class (Trends)

This week in class we talk about all the modern trends. I thought  that  this was the most interesting part of our week. The trends we discussed were higher divorce rates, premarital sex, fewer marriages, cohabitation, fewer kids, living alone, fewer social activities loss of extended families  birth to unmarried women, and mother outside of home. We made a list of  all the trend whether they were significant , interesting, and no biggy. The list that we made had the three columns the significant column had these trends mother working outside of the home, births to unmarried mothers, living alone, divorce, premarital sex, fewer marriages, fewer children and cohabitation. In the interesting column we had loss of extended family, fewer social activities and in no biggy we had nothing. It was interesting on how me and my classmates agreed on where most of the trends go.
