...Stay at Home Moms -Breaking the Stereotypes 9/13/2015 In today’s society, no longer is it common for a woman to make the decision to stay at home and school her children. There was a time when this was far from taboo, but in the year 2015, stay at home mothers have found themselves in situations where they have to prove their worth. Women in the SAHMs (Stay at home mothers) community are labeled as lazy, are said to have it easy, are dumb, moochers, and many other stereo types. In all actuality the life of a SAHM is quite the contraire. In the 20th century the term “house wife” was more so used than the term Stay at home mom. Now, in the 21st century we changed that term because it seemed as if we knew nothing but the walls inside our homes. We are married to our husbands, not our houses. Women in the 1950’s rose to the term house wife and wore it proudly. During this time, the women who worked outside of the home were looked at as some scientific phenomenon that we didn't understand. The role of women in the 1950’s was repressive and constrictive in many ways. Society placed high importance and many expectations on behavior at home as well as in public. Women were supposed to fulfill certain roles, such as a caring mother, a diligent homemaker, and an obedient wife. The perfect mother was supposed to stay home and nurture so society would accept them. (R.C.2005) “Most of the time, when people ask, I tell them that I work from home. Technically this is true, because...

...daycare; but some do not, because their parents do not put them into a daycare when they are younger. It is not fair, some kids get that chance, and others do not. Nowadays, parents want to stay at home with their kids instead of going back to work after their maternity leave is over. Kids should only stay at home with either their mother or father for the first couple months of their life, and then they should be put into daycare. Studies have shown that it is better for your kids to go to daycare rather than stay home with the mothers, for multiple reasons. For many mothers it is very difficult to send their children off to daycare, but it will be more beneficial for the children and the mothers; if they get put into daycare facility....

...Mom had the day off because she wanted to stay home and help with our family business. When I woke up I felt very sluggish and sick to my stomach. Mom told me just to try to make it through the day, and to go to the nurse if it got any worse. When I went to school I tried my best to still be positive and said it was just a bug and kept doing my work. I went to lunch just like always, but I didn’t really have an appetite to eat. I put my lunch back in my bag and continued to talk to my best friend to keep my mind off of not feeling well. We went back to class and finished the rest of our day. I packed up my bag, slid my jacket on and walked to the bus to go home. I went to my normal seat and found that my seat partner went home so I had the seat to myself. I set my bag on the seat and put my head on it. I picked my feet up and curled up on the remainder of the seat. The bus started moving and I dozed off after the first stop. My best friend,...

...Reimbursement and quality, improvement in long term care systems, Medicaid has complained about reimbursements have been lower and if they become lower than quality car would suffer. However, if states set Medicaid nursing home reimbursement levels and the federal government make changes also think the quality of care will come down or suffer. The withdrawal of services will affect quality, if they are not covered or no longer funded than these services will no longer be provided. It seems that no matter what the reimbursement levels are it does not affect the quality of care given by the staff. The quality of care is still there, the options for seniors for long-term care types are independent living, retirement communities, care retirement communities, senior apartments, continuing care and nursing homes. Assisted living communities are for those seniors that can no longer live alone but do not need the care that nursing homes provide. These communities’ help with daily living, meals, medications and everyday living keep them living a normal life, but in a community that gives them help when needed. The nursing home long-term care provides round the clock skilled care....

...assignment I chose one of my neighbors who is 8 months pregnant. She is 20 years old, engaged to her child’s father, and this is her first baby. She is currently a college student working on her Bachelor’s Degree at Kettering College. Interview: Me: What trimester of pregnancy do you think is or will be the easiest for you? Most difficult? Her: The easiest was the first trimester. I didn’t have morning sickness. The most difficult is this last one, the baby feels so big and I have to pee all the time and I just can’t get comfortable. Me: How often have you been visiting the doctor during the pregnancy? Can you describe those visits? Her: I have been following all my regular appointments. They’ve gotten frequent in these last couple weeks but I’ve always gotten good news so I’m happy. Me: How do you feel in general about having a baby? Her: I never imagined being a mom so early but I’m excited to have my baby. I would have preferred we were married first but oh well! We did the deed and it happened! (laughter) Me: How do other members of your family feel about the baby? Her: Everyone is super excited since this is the first grandbaby of the family, we’re all anxious. Me: Are you making changes in your home to accommodate the baby? Her: Yes I’ve turned my guest bedroom into the nursery and pretty much baby proofed my whole house. Me: Do you know if your child is a boy or girl? Do you prefer one over the other? Her: We are having a boy (a Jr.) and I didn’t care...

...misconceptions about others at one time or another and have more than likely felt the lingering negative impact stereotypes can leave with a person. There are several stereotypes that I have experienced and felt the effects of in my life. The first one being something that I first noticed years ago when I was a teenager and I still experience it from time to time in my life. I am an introvert and have been confronted with the belief that if one is introverted it means they are “snobby” or “rude”. I have always had difficulties making conversation with others, especially when it comes to small talk with people I do not know very well. One could make an argument that if someone does not appear social or contribute to conversation that they must be rude. This is not a valid argument and is based on the fallacy referred to as hasty generalization. “The fallacy of hasty generalization is committed when one has inadequate support for the conclusion, but one still jumps to a conclusion.” (Mosser, 2011, section 4.2). One may encounter someone who seems a bit more reserved and not as extroverted and conclude that maybe the person does not want to be bothered. Conversation comes easily to many people and if someone has a quieter personality there are many misconceptions that can develop. Hence, a stereotype is formed. There are flaws with this as there are those of us who have a preference for less noise and are more content observing the crowd at times. A few common misconceptions about introverts:...

...Bibliotherapy I. Introduction and Summary of Books Children are the heart of a parent. Two people get married and they have a baby. It easy to get into a relationship, however, it is hard to maintain the long term relationship. Two people stay together under one roof, problems such as characteristics of each person and others, stress or others, at the end, quarrelling happened and make decision to separate. So here come the situation, how are we going to tell our children? Children are so naïve, they believe in what they saw and they don’t think much. Children recognize good or bad, they don’t want their parent to be the bad person. Children ask questions when they didn’t see something they expected. Compared to my country to United States, divorce percentage are much lower. Especially in traditional Chinese family, parent will always want to have the best for the children, no matter what happen between them. Even though some of the parent already divorce, but they still stay together and act like nothing happened in front of the children. The reason why I’m choosing this topic because I remembered I have a same aged cousin, which his parent divorced. As we played together, we hanged out together, we asked him, why he was staying with his grandpa and grandma every day without going back to his parent. He told me that he only see his dad and mum once a month because they are working outstation. However, what I heard from my parent is, their parent were not together any...

...common to see a women with a job compared to how it was back then. It is also becoming more common for the kids and the fathers in households to be cleaning also, instead of it usually being the mom. However, in English class when we took a gender roles survey, it indicated that 11 out of 15 people’s families were more traditional than modern. Having taken the survey myself, it was clear that my family is more traditional than modern because time. My dad, brother, and I are still the ones who do all the yard work while my mom and my sisters stay inside the house and do all the house cleaning. (Fig.1 shows that the majority of the class had more traditional families than modern families) Primarily, my family is more traditional because the cleaning is done by the woman during barbeques while my dad, brother, and I are outside grilling. For example, most of the time when it comes to cleaning up the house the women are the ones who do most of the cleaning on the inside. They also make sure that the house is cleaned well and go back after cleaning it to make sure they didn’t miss anything that was supposed to be cleaned. In addition, the men are the ones in charge of doing all the yard work outside and are also in charge of starting the grill when it is time to cook. My dad, brother, and I are the ones that who are also in also in charge of watching the grill and take turns to make sure that the meat doesn’t burn. The only reason my mom, or any women come outside during barbeques...

... My eyes had fought to stay open, I wanted to wait though. I wanted to keep wishing it was going to be alright, for everything to just go back to the way it was. I stroked Penny’s hair and said a prayer. That was it. To keep hope and faith were the only things I could do. Except maybe I could’ve noticed the signs earlier. When we had arrived at the hospital they said that we brought him in right on time. That we got here right...on...time. But was it? How’d they know we couldn’t have come sooner? Penny noticed the look on my face, I had felt guilty. Since I was the first one awake, maybe I did something wrong. Penny had said to me that no matter what happens it wasn’t my fault. She had tried to reassure me, and say how we will get through this. It’s gonna suck but we could do it. I had a hard time managing to look at her but in doing so, I did feel a little better. After all the efforts to stay awake, Penny and I dozed off. I tried to force myself to dream off something else, but I failed. I only dreamt of my dad, and the slow motion moments right before we arrived at the hospital. “Help me! Help me!” My dad was screaming. “I can’t see!” His breath was quicker. I saw the fear in his...

...schools became integrated I believe it was the year 1950 when everything changes, my view of black people. It was an ordinary summer day. I had just helped my mom out shopping, on the way home we saw a bunch of people standing in front of a TV shop, my mother took me by the hand and walked over to the group. I grabbed my mother's arm and asked her what happened, she did not say anything she just kept looking. I pushed myself past some people and finally came in front. I looked over and saw that there was a television on, it was news. I could not really hear what was said. I looked behind me and tried to find my mother. When I finally found her, she had a different facial expression. She looked happier before, I do not know what happened. I went to my mother and asked her "mom mom what happened, something wrong?” She looked down at me and smiled wryly, it was not a real smile. I could look at her that she was worried. Without saying anything, my mom took me by the hand and we went home. I could not help but think of my mother's worrying face. Now it was evening my father had just returned. During dinner, there was silence. I looked over at my father over to my mother, they both had the same facial expressions, and the same facial expression as my mother had had earlier in the day. But none of them said anything. After dinner, my mother said that I have to bathe and go to bed. After a while I could hear some sounds. I went out of my bed and to the door, I opened the door and saw...

...married I saw first hand how repressing, nonfunctional and dissatisfying patriarchal marriages can be, specifically for the women involved. I often saw how my dad would try to control my mother and tell her how things should be run inside our home as well as outside. He would restrict her in every possible way to the point where she would have little to no say in the decisions taken at home. He would restrict her from hanging out or even talking to certain friends because he though they were a bad influence on her and they would end up filling her head with “nonsense”. It extended to the point where she wasn't even allowed to speak with any male outside of her family. Since my mom was a stay at home mom and didn't have a job outside of our house she would depend on my dad economically and this meant he was often the one who took the economic decisions of our family and often most of the decisions. My dad believed a women should not work and should stay at home to take care of her children and her husband. This would often make my mom dissatisfied with her marriage because he would treat her more like a maid than his wife. She would never be in the same level in the relationship as him, she would always be below him. She would always have to be the one making sacrifices for the sake of our family and her marriage. This type of marriage was very common in Mexico where we lived at the time. Since Mexico has a patriarchal society they see this type of behavior normal and my mom wouldn’t...
