Case Study: The Family Of Mr. And Mrs. Brown

Superior Essays
1. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Brown in the third case study most closely reflects the image I have of a good family. I like the family simply because, according to what I read, they seem like a very happy family. A family that does activities together, and the husband and wife take turn to manage the family. Another thing is thanks to the mother, the kids fit in well with the community.
2. I like how Mr. and Mrs. Brown works together to be in charge of the house, and they condescend to each other. I agree with the perception that they have which the father is the head of the house. Another thing I like about this family is that they often do activities together, also with the neighbors. For me, it is very important for family members to hang

Being a junior executive for a large company means Mr. Freemen is having a decent and stable source of income to support the family.
5. As I look at each case, three things that interest me the most about each family are as quoted as below:
Case #1: The Youngblood family is my second favorite after the Brown family. They not only put effort on their job but also care about each other and try to spend time together after work. I like their concept of having children as well. They want to plan ahead and make sure thing is ready once their kid comes into their lives.
Case #2: I love how Jason and Emmett feel that “they are contributing to society with the work they do.” The world would be perfect if we have more people like Jason and Emmett. They give me a feeling as it is their passion to help people around them, and it is very meaningful for them to do so. I have a lot of gay friends and I understand their struggle when they have to face society stigma. Most of the gay friends of mine, they have good hearts. I do not think any of them including Jason and Emmett deserve

Freeman is holding an important role in his company, but he should not be picky about choosing friends for himself and the family. Every human should be treated equally, despite their educational level. I do enjoy about this family is that they have hold family meeting weekly.
Case #5: Mr. Hurtado usually goes on trips for his work, but always tries to make time for his family. That is something right-minded about his way of maintaining a happy family.
Case #6: The Sayner family is, I would say, my least favorite family within six families. It is a good thing each family members in the family is one strong individual, however, what is the mean of a family if one always expect to be one his or her own.
6. I would love to have a family that has some of the characteristics of all these six families I just read. They are all different but very unique in a way. I would say me and my husband relationship is similar to the Youngblood family. We go to work in the morning and sometimes do not see each other at all until around 11p.m. However, we will inform each other about our work roster ahead of time, so we can plan some activities to participate together. I would love to have a lot of children, at least three. And I would like my family to be like the Freemen family that all the family members will have a chance to share their concerns in the family
