Week 1&2

 

Week 1.

Last week, I learned about family science for the first time. Before I took this class, I thought this class was like a religion class. I thought it would prepare me to get married. I also wanted to learn that what kind of character I should have to become a good father. I wanted to learn that how I could have a better relationship with my family. I expected that what kind of problem I could solve with my family, and how I could figure it out. However, this class was not like that. It used many resources to explain how families are in these days. What kind of trends people have lately. I mean I will be able to learn how to be a better husband and father through this class. It talks a lot about scientific resources. 

I think this class was interesting because I have never been approached by a family like this. I think I can see the problem. I can also compare what are the differences between the World and the church. Since most of my friends are from the church, I do not hear too much about marriage life in the World. I think I am going to face the worldly problem at some point. Because of this class, I am hoping to learn how to overcome those problems. I am glad that I am taking this class.

Week 2.

Actually, I was trying to observe people. For example, I keep watching people in some meetings. I pick a person, how he or she acts with people. This is interesting because everyone is different. I am different than any others, so it is fun to find something that I want to learn, and I want to avoid. In week 2, we talked a lot about how researchers get data to post their research. Before this class, when I argue with others, I gave many examples from that kind of research. However, I found flaws in what I have done. Those researches are not fair for everyone. Something does not apply to someone. Researchers cannot get all data from all people. We also talked about it as well in class.

While I was reading through the document which I am supposed to read, I was so glad that I am raised by blessed parents. I experienced that there were so many people who were raised by single moms or dads. I also saw few that were grown under the same-sex mom or father. At that time, I was a missionary, so I loved them. However, I didn’t recognize the differences between them and people who are raised by normal parents. However, I studied about it this week, I felt that they might be different than I am. Same-sex parents are not common in my country, so I do not know anything. I can’t compare them. However, I have a friend who was reared under a Single mother. I don’t have any problem with him, but I feel like he doesn’t want to talk too much about his family. I might be biased, but he is jealous of me and my family who have a good relationship with my parents. I recognized that I was loved and I am still being loved by my parents. 

I decide that I want to be friends with my children when I have them after marriage. I do not want them to worry or hesitate to talk about their family. I know family is ordained of God. Home is the place where has to have peace. I know that when people accept the gospel, and they live what the gospel teaches, those problems would be solved. I am sure that Satan is trying so hard to interrupt happiness in the family.
