Effects on The Family

Lately in class we have been talking about class and culture and how it has and effect on family. Growing up in a pretty well off home I never even considered that the class you are in can determine the happiness of your family. I watched this video about a woman named Tammy who was in the lower class and was struggling with her family. One of her sons was ashamed of what his mother was and how his family was. He would not talk to his siblings at school unless they were up to his standards. He belittled his mother because of the way that she has raised the family and how she was not like the other mothers. Well Tammy did not have a car to get to work so she walked 10 miles there and back just to get money to provide for her family. I am amazed at how money and the class that you are in can have an effect on how you are treated by other and even your own family. There are also videos and stories of people who seek the highest class so they marry richer just to obtain it. I personally think that family should be centered around love and trust rather than class or money. When it comes to culture it really is true that it how an effect on how your family functions. Depending on where you grow up your morals on thins could be completely different from others. I just thought that all of this was very interesting so I decided to share(:
