Dating This week

This week in class we talked about dating and marriage . The thing that i found most interesting  was that we focused on hanging out, and hooking up. One of the things that we talk about was the talk by Elder Dallin  H. Oaks. I love how he said that we need not to hangout, we need to date the one thing that my professor focused on were three things that were said in elder oaks talk that we need to be  planned, paired off, paid for. My professor also focused on the family proclamation and that we need have to provide, protect and preside over the families. When we preside we have to follow through on protection and when we are paired off, we are protecting each other. This is what we need to focus on were dating and getting married.

This week we talked about gender roles and homosexuality. i found it interesting that we had a discussion board were we shared our thought on our own families and their roles here what i wrote in that board: In my home my parents took the basic gender and few other roles. My mom was always the one in the kitchen cooking, cleaning the house. The other roles that she took on were playing with us kids, being and cleaning the garden, and working full time. My dad had the role of being the provider in our family I always remember him working not being too much  at home during the day. He also had roles that were out of the box for him he played with us at nigh a lot of the time so my mom could cook. I thought that this was normal in any family when I was child but, when I grew up I found out that all gender roles were different  than I had thought . I always thought too when I was a child that most families had two parents a mom and a dad but I was wrong again. I personally don't share my opinion about homosexuality..so i wont.

Week 4

I found class intresting yesterday because I voluntered to be part of a family who lived in mexico. it was interesting because the dad had to leave his family to come work in America just to get a better life . We focused on the struggles this family would have had like being seperated from their father and growing apart. Mom went to work too so that they could have a better life. I was part of extened family who wanted to help the family by either providing money or child care for the children while the parents are at work. It was hard to see a family go through that pain.
