conflict theory (inequality)
*mom, dad and the kids get their way
*one person always gives in
symbolic theory (interactions with others)
*We learn most of our rules through our symbols
*What your parents do, you expect from others
exchange theory (you owe me)
*doesn't always mean selfish
*suggesting behaviors by explanations
Family systems (intimate group, rules, everyone affects each other)
*not just one person
*affects others around you
I learned that my relationships are driven by my feelings of satisfaction and pleasure. Sometimes I have to wonder if I am giving as much as I am getting. The more I learn about family relations, the more I understand my parents and my own parenting.
