  The Same-Sex Attraction 5/02/2022 This week in family relation class, we discuss same-sex attraction for men and women there are so many things that I have observed from the discussion and all this comes with gender. Going into the spiritual realms God created man and woman with different characteristics. Now talking about same-sex attraction, people say have different beliefs about this behavior which says it is something they have inherited some says it is a spiritual attitude, some also say it is an individual character but to my point of view, for this whole argument, all I will say about this topic is it is something which is being influenced by peers and this will lead me to a story that a man shares with us how he was drug into homosexuality.  According to him, when he was 19 years old, he lost both parents and there was no one to provide for him even to send him to school so, therefore, he starts selling candies at the roadside till one day he meet two men and th...
  Family Culture and Diversity 29/01/2022 This week topic in our family relation class which talk about family culture and diversity, when we talk about family culture and diversity, they are customs, norms and tradition of a family society. I came from a community whereby each family in that community follow and practice a tradition in that community and this tradition is about a child will inherit his uncle property not their own father’s property. And this was a true story which happen so many years ago about a certain king in that community, this king marries two wives and the first wife have eight children while the second wife had twelve children. These women live with their children together with this king, everything was going well with all of them, and the king also have a lot of inheritance he owns many properties that in a extend that when he dies all his children are all going to inherit his properties without leaving no one behind. However, his children were also...
Second Blog Check Family Roles and Rules This week we discuss family roles and rules and from what I learned in class this is family roles are a set of values and responsibilities that some accept or feel. Someone else should want to accept and learn something about family rules which normally have two sets of rules and some of these rules can cause harmony or stress which sometimes family members are aware of them. I came from a very closed family whereby there are a lot of roles and laws and some of these roles and rules are, when I was a child, my dad and my mom play a role in providing the needs of the family and we as children our duty is sweeping the compound, fetching water to the house to fill containers, going on an earn when needed, washing dishes and setting up a table for a dinner. My dad goes to work each morning to look for our daily bread my mother has a shop that sells provision items so therefore when we were kids my mother always wake up early and prepare for us t...
 Eric Akornor Boatey THE SOCIETAL TRENDS WITH FAMILY I will like to do my post on husband, wife, and children. These three people come together to form families. Husband and wife who are one of the most important relationships within the household were between the husband and his wife. In ancient societies cultures, there are some practices of monogamous marriage although a man but not a woman, could have other sexual partners outside the marriage, he had only one legitimate wife. Only her children were fully recognized as heirs to his property, and this issue of the man having children outside the family sometimes causes chaos and anarchy to some families when it comes to sharing of properties. I came from a society whereby most men usually cohabit and have children with other women before they get married to their legitimate wives and this comes with a story my grandma shared with me some years ago about a man with his family and according to the story, this man was a businessman...
