The Systemic Dimensions of Family If the family is the genesis of all of our struggles with self, then the family should be where solutions are fostered and created. Family of origin issues linger, even your family isn’t around. Family of origin issues influence the way we proceed with life, and while individuals can achieve great things with a dysfunctional family of origin, true changes to the dynamic spread from the individual to the rest of the family system. Self-differentiation within the system removes old and worn roles that family assigns, allowing family of origin issues to be managed or eliminated for every member involved.…

While reading Chapter 6, Contact with Other Children, I couldn’t help but laugh reading the part about siblings. My two sons are 10 and 4 almost 5 in May, years old. The book says that “constructive conflict with siblings help children recognize each other’s needs, wishes, and point of view, and it helps them learn how to fight, disagree, and compromise within the context of a safe, stable relationship” (Papalia, Martorell, 2015, p.184). Last night, a very vivid memory of a fight between my two boys where one looked like he was about to drop kick the other and the other looked like he was about take a bite out of the others arm didn’t make me think that they would learn any kind of compromise or think that it is a stable relationship. At the…

People have always been interested in the idea of finding out about personal identity, what makes you the same person as you were when you were five and what will make you the same person when you are eighty. Derek Parfit summed up this idea by saying “Whatever happens between now and any future time, either I shall still exist, or I shall not. Any future experience will either be my experience, or it will not.” (Parfit- 186), which is what personal identity looks into. This essay will discuss whether personal identity is a matter of physical or psychological continuity, taking into account the famous ideas of philosophers such as John Locke, Derek Parfit and Bernard Williams.…

In the article The New Science of Siblings, author Jeffrey Kluger explains the inherent influences that siblings have on each with “brothers and sisters steer one another into or away from risky behaviors...” (396).

In most cases, siblings have the interest of each other at heart and aspire to help improve each other. Younger siblings tend to look up to older siblings; as a parent figure.…
