Families in Change Assignment II – Movie Analysis The family unit is regarded as one of the most fundamental groups in virtually any society. Families are well known to perpetuate the existence of a community in a social way through the process of social interaction and biologically through pro-creation.

The mother is mostly seen as the source of warmth and comfort to the family in the sense that they ensure that the children have a peaceful environment to grow up from on a constant basis (Nadell, 1995). What this mean is that mother’s always look out for their children to make sure they are healthy in terms of the environment, school, friends, and theirs behaviours. Tre’s family is a good example of a healthy family structure in the movie. For instance, Tre’s mother and father still communicate and support Tre to make him a better person.

Consequently, this has resulted in them looking for alternative ways to survive and satisfy the lack that they face currently. For example, selling drugs in the neighbourhood. Tre’s mother sets boundaries for her son, that whenever he crosses it, he would be going to live with his father because she knows Tre do not like living in his father’s house. Not only that, but also ask Tre to sign an agreement note saying whenever he crosses the boundary, he will be sent to his father’s house. That being said, Tre’s father and mother set boundaries to keep him off trouble. Some ways they keep the boundaries, active is by giving
