BLOG POST 7             

 As we all agreed in today´s class we are going to write about family.

First, I would like to state that  the word "family" for me is a word that involves a lot.
 It is a great and strong pillar, fundamental for our society.
This is my belief so far but this concept of traditional family has been changing a lot. If we compare old families and modern families they have many differences, for example, old families were bigger now families are smaller, with just three or four members even fewer. Also family customs have been deeply changed, for instance, old mothers stayed at home and brought her children up meanwhile her husbands went to work, whose jobs were the "bread and butter" of the family.

According to my point of view and own reflection modern times have brought positive and negative things to our society that  have affected families. The access to technology, science, health and education have provided to people with a variety source of knowledge that has been an indispensable contribution. Nowadays, people "know " more than before. Consequently, this new phenomenon has pros and cons but family's lives have been affected in the way they deal with those changes. Life is faster now and sometimes there is no enough time to get together with our families.

I think we can take advantage of the good aspects of the past times and connect them with the positive of modern ones. It may be a solution to what sometimes might become stressful and overwhelming and I am very optimistic about the future, if we have a strong family support everything can be solved.
