Week 3

This week has been pretty crazy! This week in my family relations class I learned about family theories  you might be asking what are family theories? Well let me teach you...:)
1. Family System theories- view the family as a whole. Each member has a specific purpose in their family and when each member of that family comes together they create a beautiful family
2. Exchange theory- cost vs benefit
3. Symbolic Interaction theory- we are always creating meaning, everything is symbolic
4. Conflict theory- differing opinions make decisions

Some families connect with different theories. I have to say symbolic interaction theory defines my family!
