Social Class:
That is one of the first things that we talked about this week in class. And to tell the truth I have never seen much of it in my life. But that is what I get coming from a small town. I never thought that I saw it but now looking back I suppose that it was there, but it was part of life, and since the differences were not extreme no one pointed them out.
The question that we asked for how this ties into family relations is...
Does social class matter in accomplishing the purposes of a family?
And some kids in my class said that it did, but I don't think so.
My logic behind that is that the values you teach your children are more important then the class you are in. And while every class has its own unique problems and stresses that does not hinder your ability to teach.
Children need to be taught to care about themselves and others, and that can be taught in any social class. Laziness is not designated to a class. Some of the hardest working people I know are from a low class, and others are from a higher class.
I feel that it comes down to the mindset, and the effort you are going to put into accomplish the purpose of a family. and effort is not assigned to a class.

Genogram:
So we have an assignment to make a genogram. Which I started on this week. And it has been so fun, I am learning about my family, There is so many things i didn't realize, even among my aunts and uncles. So it should be fun to keep working on it.
