According to Jame Marcia, there are four different stages of identity that a person can align themselves with given a certain aspect of their life. The stages are diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement. Diffusion is the state of having no clear idea of one’s identity and making no attempt to find it. foreclosure is the state of blindly accepting one’s identity and values that were given in childhood by family and significant others. Moratorium is when the adolescent has a vague or ill-formed ideological and occupational commitments; he/she is still looking for their identity.…
One year ago, I made a courageous decision to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance on being able to pursue a step into the direction of my career goal, becoming a lender in banking. A dear friend of mine called me one evening and told me that a mortgage processing position had become available and that I should come by and talk with the owners of Simply Home Lending, Jason and Kelly. I remember walking in and being beyond nervous, as I knew that I was secure in my current job, but I knew that to be able to expand into lending, I would have to go elsewhere, as the opportunity to advance was not there for me. I remember Kelly and Jason walking back and forth, in and out of their offices, helping their clients be able to live the American dream of owning their own home. Impatiently patient, I waited for them to become freed up, which was impossible that day.…
The ending of World War Two ignited a fresh start for the United States, the post war era ushered in changes in American culture, education, and economy. Although the post war era is known as a successful period in American history, the return of soldiers and soaring birth rates brought an intensive demand for affordable housing. In the year of 1945, the federal government implemented several reforms that would change the idea of what it meant to be a homeownership and the idea of what it meant to be an American. “Homeownership as the American dream shifted into an idea that it was the right to be a homeowner.” Housing programs such as the serviceman readjustment act of 1944 (G.I. Bill) and increase funding for the federal housing administration (FHA) ensured veterans, along with blue and white…
Homeownership among Canadian is considered a symbol of a secure and successful life; but why do we believe this and are the claims of homeownership true or just a pattern we have learned throughout our lives. A growing population, lack of and use planning and policies, affordability, growing commutes to employment and impacts on leisure time, exacerbate sustainability of this practice. The common belief of homeownership of a single family, owner occupied dwelling, has environmental, social and economical benefits in the right circumstances. Consequently the entitlement and societal pressures to conform encourage people that may not be successful homeowners to chase the dream regardless of the costs.…
Two days ago Mr. Skonecki gave us a packet called JA finance, and I lost mine. I have been looking every where for it. My locker, my backpack, and my home. I have no idea what I did with it. The teacher said that he has no extra copies.…
Being the product of a family who struggled financially, and growing up in poverty; home ownership was something wished for, thought about, but not really obtainable. The great housing crash that occurred a few years ago, honestly didn’t affect my life since I have been a renter of my property and never an owner. I saw the reports on the news and saw the “for sale”, “foreclosure”, and “reduced price” signs all over nearby homes, and I thought about the families that lived there and what they were being forced to give up in order to even survive. Owing a home, owning property is part of the “American Dream” that not only immigrants imagine but born and raised American seek out as well.…
The Giant Pool of Money Analysis Every individual in the United States wishes to be a homeowner because owning a home is considered as the ultimate achievement by majority of the population and is a symbol of successful and fulfilling life (Grant, Rick). So in the early 2000s when individuals were provided an extremely easy way of getting a loan and buying a home irrespective of their job and background, majority of them grabbed the opportunity. But, this scheme of simplifying mortgage rules and procedures led to overvaluation of mortgages based on an assumption that housing prices will continue to escalate led to the financial crisis of 2008 (Blumberg and Davidson). One of the biggest issue during crisis was that the decisions made around…
