In this day and age it’s pretty amazing to be a child that has parents that are still married. It truly is amazing how two people so different from one another can make a marriage. Many people enter marriage with the belief that if you love each other, than that is enough to get bye. When I look at my parents I realize that they were raised in two totally different environments, with different life styles, and different ways of thinking. Yet, I can’t help noticing that their family foundations are the same.
Both of them have made a commitment to each other, a commitment to communicate ith one another, and a commitment to always love one another even when they don’t always like one another. They must be doing something right, their marriage is in it’s 36th year! Communication in the work place and the ability to communicate effectively is crucial to success. Even the simplest straightforward exchange of information can lead to distortion and miscommunication. The basis of a positive and successful work place is the result of communication from manager’s to personnel.
Listening and feedback are essential to creating a harmonious work environment. It has been my personal experience that when communication in the work nvironment needs improvement – management always increases written notices to employees instead of verbal communication. When a manger has to come in contact with an employee often times what they say can be important and it is intended to benefit the receiver. When a manager needs to address a situation they should take a good look into what the real problem is and if the employee has a clear understanding of the instructions in the first place.
Money and credit seem to be the root of many marital problems. We have all been in the same predicament at least once in our lives, not enough money to over the bills. The choices you make now will determine your credit later. To pay your bills now will leave you strapped for the time being. To pay your bills late will leave you with damaged credit. When first starting out, credit is very hard to establish. You need to find someone that will give you that initial loan, whether that may be a credit card or an actual bank loan.
After you have been given the opportunity to build credit, how you manage it is entirely up to you. Many families experience tension of money and credit problems. Once again, I believe that commitment and lanning is the key to overcoming potential problems in this area. Family leisure is an important aspect of leisure and an important part of life for many people in our society. Home-based activities and family-oriented activities outside the home are the most common forms of leisure activity.
Family forms and structures have undergone dramatic changes in recent years, and the traditional family, made up of a “bread-winner” husband, a homemaker mother and children, represents only a very small minority of families today. There are an increasing number of non-traditional families, including ingle-parent families, gay and lesbian families, blended families and childless families. Moreover, recognition of the differential needs of different cultural, racial and ethnic groups means recognition that family structures may vary according to cultural background.
One difficulty with family leisure is the problem of choosing activities suitable for all family members. Interpersonal constraints can include spousal conflict, the general socio-emotional tone of the marital relationship, difference between partners in terms of gender roles issues, and conflict between parents and children. The presence of these types of constraints may make positive family leisure situations difficult to accomplish, and it is possible that for some families joint activities may have destructive rather than constructive outcomes.
There is no sure way of determining optimal level of involvement. Optimal levels will vary from family to family depending on the degree of similarity of interests and the desire to spend time together, as well as on other factors. Family structure and stage in the family life cycle may also play a role here. For example, although everyone probably needs some time alone to pursue ndividual interests, women who have young children and who are full time homemakers may have a particular need for time to themselves away from the demands of children.
One of the primary concerns of social problems are the related and epidemic problems of drug abuse, crime, illiteracy and moral decay – problems which weaken and, if not rectified, ultimately destroy the very foundation of a family. Each family is built upon single individuals and when one lacks self-worth and sees no solution to their predicament, then they have a family that is in serious trouble. There is several drug rehabilitation and drug education centers that are edicated to helping people build new drug-free lives for themselves.
They enable a person to locate and overcome why he or she became drug or alcohol dependent in the first place. Series of life skill courses are offered that help individuals gain control of himself and his environment so he does not need the crutch of drugs. However, when we have a family made aware and put on a path to greater survival for themselves and others, we have a family that can thrive. Mental health is just as an important part of a persons overall health as physical health.
Actually, it seems as though mental health is so easily verlooked, especially in children. The children of parents with a panic disorder or major depression are at increased risk of developing the same disorders that afflict their parents–even at a very young age. Many articles that I’ve read have suggested that such disorders can pass from parent to child. Parental panic disorder and major depression presented a significant risk for dysfunction and emotional distress in their offspring.
Social phobia is also more common among children whose parents were treated for major depression and among children whose parents were treated for both panic disorder and major epression than among unaffected families. The typical response to a concern of a child’s attitude is that they are going through some sort of “stage in their life,” that they will “outgrow” their anxieties or troubles. The best answers to a troubled child are try and determine the source of their problem. Listening and responsiveness will go a long way in heading off life-long affliction.
When considering death and the impacts it has on other peoples lives, many do not consider abortion. The unborn human is still a human life and not all the wishful thinking of those advocating repeal of abortion laws can alter this. Those of us who seek to protect the human who is still too small to cry aloud for its own protection have been accused of having an antiquated approach to life. Those who can allow emotion to over ride the true facts of science cannot deny that from the time of conception and from that moment on – there are genes and cells that make up a human being, different from any other.
There is no doubt that abortion is on demand, it is the right to choose to not continue an unplanned pregnancy and would prevent unwanted children. This is the final and desperate emotional plea of people anxious, at whatever price, to escape the esponsibility of their actions. There is nothing more pitiable or heart rendering then that of an unwanted fetus becoming an unwanted babe or an unwanted babe becoming an unwanted child, or an unwanted child becoming an embittered adult.
Few would think it right to kill or have killed an unwanted baby to prevent it from becoming an unwanted child. Then how can they think it right to kill an unwanted fetus, even more defenseless than a newborn babe just because it may grow into an unwanted child. A term that is highly associated with quality of life is “euthanasia. ” The most common thesis in support of euthanasia is alled “The Argument for Mercy. ” It simply states that euthanasia is morally justified because it ends suffering.
Terminally ill patients are people who will never attain a personal existence, never experience life as a net value, and/or never achieve a minimal level of independence. The moral issue regarding euthanasia is not affected by whether more could have been done for a patient, but whether euthanasia is allowable if it is the only alternative to torment. Euthanasia does not refer to Nazi-like elimination of the sick, old, or unproductive. Traditionally, euthanasia means the search for a good death, an asier death for one who is dying, a release through death from intractable suffering.
If a person prefers and even begs for death as an alternative to linger on in torment, only to die, then surely it is not immoral to help this person die sooner. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is one of the oldest and most common moral proverbs, which applies to everyone alike. When people try to decide whether certain actions are morally correct, they must ask whether they would be willing for everyone to follow that rule, in similar circumstances. Each of us is going to die someday; although, we do not know how r when and we have little choice in the matter.
Suppose you were given the choice to die quietly and painlessly or to live and suffer. A chance to survive a while longer with a disease so painful that you could only moan for those few days, weeks, or even months before death while family members stand helplessly by. What would your ideal choice be? I know, I would choose the quick and painless death not only for myself, but for my family. The principle of self-determination promotes the ideas of self-governance, freedom of choice, and personal responsibility for individual decisions and behaviors.
