Family Worldview Analysis

• “You cannot fully understand how a child is functioning at school without considering the family.” (Pg.35)
I pulled out this quote because I feel that as teachers this is especially important to remember when dealing with a student who has classroom behavioral issues. It is easy to automatically judge a student like this, thinking they are just a bad student. In reality most of the time the reason this child is acting out is because of some sort of situation like at home.

• “The family worldview is the lens through which the family sees the world.” (Pg. 36)
I have never heard this word before and after reading this section it made a lot of sense to me. The family will only be as involved as they know to be. The family worldview is specific

    In today’s society we are introduced to many problems that are always put to the side and is never taken care of because people are so in denial and don’t want to face the truth. In the simpsons intro the writer uses satire( the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues) to explore the flaws of society through his made up fictional characters. Some issues that I have come to a realization are the fact that parents in this century are not paying enough attention to their children and holding them fully responsible for their own actions. In other words children are doing whatever they please with no care whatsoever in the world because they know that there is no consequences for their actions. This also causes these children and teens to misbehave in class which leads to a distraction that takes away learning from kids whom parents actually send them to school to learn.…

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is set far into the future. This results in a large difference between how family is viewed in the societies of 21st century America and the World State. People in the World State are genetically engineered in factories and do not have parents (Huxley 9). The family structure is nonexistent; they do not even know what a parent is. The director of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre asked the students on the tour if they knew what a parent was.…

    An Idealistic View of Family Novels, plays, and television shows have a unique way of making family life in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries so appealing. They desensitize it, taking away the realities that really impacted families during that era. They are fictitious displays of what family life was like that we strive to achieve because they appear so perfect. In shows like Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, we are lured into a dimension where family life seems flawless and where everyone is a contributor to the success of the family and larger community.…

    Unpacking my personal worldview is something that seems, for me, a task that is overwhelming and exciting. Sire (2009) provides that "A worldview (or vision of life) is a framework or set of fundamental beliefs through which we view the world and our calling and future in it (Location 115). " Schultz and Swezey (2013) reference Sire's work as well summarizing that "worldview is not strictly about information, beliefs, or knowledge, but must entail ‘‘heart-orientation’’ and behavior as well (p. 231). " The foundation of my worldview that is overly apparent to me is a Christian worldview based on biblical principles that God is the creator of all, God is good and that I am a unique creation of God. I know I have a decidedly biblical Christian…

    There are many variations of what a family looks like. Some families are big in size, while some may consist of two adults without children. When most people think of what a family looks like, they think of the old-style household that includes a mother and a father of the same ethnic background as their children. This is deemed to be the societal norm, however, families today consist of various types of models. Some children today are raised in single parent homes while others are being raised by their grandparents.…

Typically students with ASD will have difficulty controlling appropriate behavior. According to Brentani, Helena, Paula, Cristiane Silvestre de, Bordini, Daniela, Rolim, Deborah, Sato, Fabio, Portolese, Joana, Pacifico, Maria Clara, and McCracken (2013), ASD Spectrum Disorder, “…is characterized by a shared spectrum of qualitative impairments in social interaction, associated with varying degrees of deficits in communication and marked repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.” ASD diagnoses have increased over the years and teachers need to educate themselves on the most up-to-date classroom…

    That is right. When family members have different family values and different definitions of family, there might be some family tensions. We have to apply an other-orientation to family relationships. Effective other-orientation requires a consideration of my parents’ backgrounds: their treatment as children by their parents; their education background and work experiences; and finally, the community and historical era in which they were raised. Then, I can put myself in their situation and imagine what it would have been like to grow up as they did, to work and raise a family (Family Conflict 2015).…
