Blog 5

This blog is associated with chapter 7 and different family lives.  There are many different types of family’s.   The family types and styles have changed over the years.  There are many more children born to unmarried women these days.  It is not as scary to have a family without a man in it as it used to be. And there are many more divorces than years ago.  Women are standing up for their happiness. It is astonishing that 50% of marriages end in divorce these days.  There are different families with different social classes, sexualities, and race groups.  All families have their different ways to manage their lifestyles and their families.  Power is a big part of a family unit.  And how that power is used in the family is used is a struggle with some families.  Mothering is a big responsibility and joy in the family life.   There is a norm within society of what a mother is supposed to be like.  But in reality the norm is not really reality.  There are many different ways to be a mother.   Every women just has to find her own way.

blog 4

This blog is over 2 different chapters.  The 2^nd chapter is over reproductive rights.  This is a chapter that hits close to every woman.  First the most important topic is healthcare.  I strongly believe we should have a nationalized health care plan.  Everyone everywhere should have healthcare.  Every woman is either using some sort of birth control or is reproducing children or is not in need of anything. We need these forms of birth control methods so that the population does not get extreme.   The abortion topic is one that can cause a debate. I myself think it is your right to choose what happens with your body.  I could say many things but I don’t want to debate, people have strong opinions on this subject.  All the health concerns with women are very scary.  But hopefully with time they will find cures for all.  There seem to be many more colored women’s issues than I had thought.  The 1^st chapter is over body image.  It is sick how women are publicly shown that they are supposed to look like the Barbie doll.  That is not realistic and it’s not good to show the younger children out there that they need to look like that.  That is how eating disorders start.  You are who you are, and your body was meant to be how it was.  But if you want to change it, that is your right, it is your body. You should be comfortable in yourself, being who you are.
