ENG 101

Family has always been an union of parents and their child or children, who always had different things or responsibilities to do and to deal with, though there are several stable roles in a family. These roles determines your position in the family.

In a family, for example in most families in Turkey, man always had the authority. He was always thought to look after his wife and children, have a decent job, and bring money to his family. Of course this can be called as a prototype but it has been like this for many years. But, recently, we can observe that women can also have jobs and earn money and make living with this money.

In my family, my father is the one who has his own job. He is a businessman and he works hard for his family for years, as i can see. My mother is a housewife and she deals with cooking, washing, cleaning stuff and with me and my sister who attends to a high school. As my mother married in a young age, maybe that’s why she never got a chance to work outside the home. Surely, my father sometimes tries to help her with the house work as he tries to go shopping in the weekends and helps my mother with setting the table. As being students, my sister and my responsibility is to work hard for our lessons and graduate from high school or college with success.

Whatever their jobs or roles or positions are, the members of the family has to always keep in touch and respect and love each other. A family who lacks of respect and love, will be collapsing later as the members, even the mother and the father, has no respect or love or tolerance to one another.
