Joseph Green and Konrad Tom's film Mamele depicts a vastly different cultural and family dynamic in a different setting than the dynamic found in traditional Jewish shtetls. Whether it be incorporating Jewish holidays or traditional family roles, producers actively depicted Jewish cultural roots into their films prior to Mamele in 1939. In Mamele, a daughter named Chavchi takes on many household responsibilities after the death of her mother and is consequently given the nickname "mamele," or little mother. The family is nontraditional as a result, as Chavchi picks up familial responsibility due to the lack of care and initiative from a drunkard and gambling-addicted father. In addition to an unconventional father figure, Chavchi's many siblings…

This article tries to explain the differences in time present in the history of the Book of Mormon. Although time is fairly well recorded, this “time” may or may not have coincided with our current understanding of how time is measured. In fact, from the records of wars, it would make more sense if they recorded each aspect of their lives in a different manner. In fact, this is seemingly supported without a doubt in viewing the patterns in which war is recorded. When a war is recorded, it is sometimes recorded that there is a time of recovery and preparation.…

Polygamy in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS) allegedly began in 1831 (Bennion 2011:23?). Mormon fundamentalists subscribe to the line of Mormon theology which was founded by Joseph Smith (Bennion 2011:23). It includes traditional gender role beliefs, religious communalism, and polygamy. However, many “mainstream Mormons” aspire to distance themselves from polygamy. In North America alone, polygamy is practiced by between 38,000 and 60,00 persons, despite its illegality in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (Bennion 2011:23).…
Knowing one’s family health history provides families, as well as family health nurses knowledge regarding a patient’s risk for certain diseases (NIH, 2016). As families not only share genes, but their environment, and lifestyle, a family nurse must also consider non-biological factors when completing a family health history (NIH, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to discuss my findings after completing a genetic family history assessment, including three generations, as well as family nursing interventions that may be implemented based on the assessment. Choosing this particular family was based on the knowledge, one member has cystic fibrosis. Family Members and Health History…

Webb in his article talks about how Mormonism is a religion of endurance, its organizational understanding,…
As I sit and think of what a family consist of, I am reminded of how gracious God is. Without going into too much detail, I was raised in four different families types, that included: nuclear family, foster family, step-family and a single parent family. Idealy one would think that I had no concept of what a perfect family is. Thankfully, through Christ, I was able understand what a biblical family looks like. There is not a complete secret code manual of what a family should be and how a family should work.…
