The Role Of Family Roles In Ovid's Metamorphoses

For example, when we 're younger, we tend to look up to our parents. We watch everything they do and learn what they say. We look at them as trustworthy so everything they tell us we believe and their actions and words will shape us into the adults we

Shirley Taylor Instructor Debbie Benson English 271 28 March 2017 Ovid Pubilius Ovidious Naso, also known as Ovid, was born on March 20, 43 B.C. in Sulmona, Italy. He and his older brother attended an academy in Rome to study law. His father had high hopes for him to become involved in politics. Ovid later abandoned the academy and followed his desires to become a writer, disappointing his father.

The book talks about how men are the breadwinners of the family and that the females are the nurturing kind. For my family alone, it is mostly females and therefore they had to work hard to be the breadwinners. I have never seen them be the stay-at-home mom and take care of the children. For my family, the roles are equal. If it is a mom and a dad, they both work, they both clean, they both take care of the children and they both take care of the finances.

In the article, Andrew Moravcsik uses an example of his everyday lifestyle, to claim the importance of a father taking part as a lead parent, as it is

A normal, healthy relationship with parents is good for every child, but sometimes that relationship is taken to far. The never ending over cautiousness and regulation of helicopter parents causes children to be unequipped for adult life in areas such as problem solving, dealing with failure, and normal social etiquette. In order for children to develop these necessary life skills, parents need to let their children out of that safety zone to experience life. Don’t let them run down the middle of main street at midnight, but give them a little bit of freedom, and trust that they have been taught

Most of us, as young ones don’t realize how important we are to our parents. Not until we live the experience of having our own children. This is when it hits us.

The father assumes a semi traditional role in today's society. They are in most scenarios working more than the mothers. An example of this in today's society would be a father who working the traditional 9 to 5 job, while on the other hand a mother may work part-time and have a more pronounced role in the home. I believe but the father should assume whatever role best fits in the family.

There’s no typical family as nuclear families as in the past and not everyone lives in a multigenerational household. Same-sex families are also on the rise as sexual ambiguity is undergoing its own wave of acceptance in all political, social, and economic spheres. With the absence of the parents’ presence in the home due to an inability effectively balance work and home life, children could develop an emotional void/absence. Good communicative dialogue between children and their parents where the adults describe their work situation as it relates to the home to create resilient children, could possibly benefit the household.

The children learned basic norms and values from the parents. The parents supply the economic needs for the child such as foods and education (ResviseSociology, 2014). In a family, different person performs different role and function such as a mother should take care of her child. The important is the child can feel the love and support from their parents (Gordon, 1997). Family dysfunction may appear in broken families, violent families and divorced families, etc.

Family has always occupied one of the most important places among the values of human life. This is understandable, because all people are at different stages of their lives are somehow connected with the family, it is a natural part of this life. Of course, in the family there must be love for each other; but also has to be patience, respect, willingness to listen and to help. People need to be ready to sacrifice for their family their time, their desires. Sometimes life is hard, and things go wrong.

In Ovid’s “The Essential Metamorphoses”, young men are presented in a way that they aren’t worthy of the title hero and that they portray the general idea in myth that men dominate over women which as a result shows the patriarchal society. Perseus is proves to be very unmanly by the way he uses the head of Medusa to end his battles with people. This is very coward like and also male dominated actions. Then he sees Andregen ad is immediately overwhelmed by her beauty that he must have her. She’s just an object that he desires to have in his possession.

By using these skills, I can also practice comparing and contrasting the many ways of dealing with problems a child might cause, and determine the best course of action to resolve a real-life situation in real time. Being with two different families showed me different ways to care for a child, and how the method is chosen can affect the child in the future. Growing up, my parents never took me to daycare instead they let my grandparents take care of me, on one hand, I would get spanked if I did something wrong and on the other, my Grandma would give me M&M’s from my grandfather’s secret candy stash, and being raised with two different families made me realize the pros and cons of each. Although I had loving grandparents who gave sweets every day , I also had stern ones who helped show me how to survive the daily world.

Children learn to be responsible for their actions, it is deemed a helpful and vital trait for the youth. Parents teach their children through love and kindness. But not all types of responsibilities come with love, some emerge out of hate or a loveless relationship. Many know of an obligation to yourself as well as friends and family. These traits help humans in becoming well-rounded citizens, but often burdens like these begin to feel like a weight dragging you away from the light of a productive life.

Parents need to raise their children in such a way that allows them to be instrumental, responsible, and successful in future society (Ehrensaft, 2007). Over the course of the years, many activists have advocated for fairness between men and women. This is along the same line with the values that work towards ensuring gender equality in every aspect of life. Parenting involves shaping the future of children, as they play a significant role at the young ages of children. Like what was stated earlier, parents are the very first teachers of their children.

We, as humans, are impacted dramatically by the behaviors that important people in our lives exhibit. This theory should influence parents greatly, as parents are the ultimate examples in modeling behavior that children learn from. For instance, if a child watches her father love and cherish her mother, she will internalize and learn that this is the way that women should be
