Family Relations Class Week #8

  Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog about my family relations class. Last week I talked about the differences between courtship and dating as well as the different ways and reasons the people date for. For today’s blog post I would like to talk about affairs, the different types of affairs, and the effects of affairs on relationships. When I look up the definition of infidelity it says: “the action or state of being unfaithful to a spouse or other sexual partner.” Now let’s go ahead and talk about the four different types of affairs.

Family Relations Class Week #12

               Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s blog post on my family relations class!

Family Relations Class Week #4

  Hello to everyone! I hope you are all doing well. During my Family Relations class this week we continued to talk about family systems and how they change within the family. Our class on wednesday was specifically spent talking about how families can change when they move out of one culture and into a new culture. In class we decided to do a roleplay with multiple of the class members. In this roleplay there were people roleplaying as a family. There was a grandfather, mother, father, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, and two cousins. In this example we talked about a family living inside Mexico.  In Mexico the family has a good life where they are very close with each other and the father has a very good source of income in the business of construction. Although things are going fairly well for them where they live in Mexico, they decide that they want to move to the United States where they believe they can have a better chance at living. Unfortunately to do this, the father will need to
