1. How did issues of obedience and authority play themselves out in your group?
Acturally we chose the topic "Obedience in Family" quickly, because we thought it had close connection with everybody. Then we tried to think and research some material from books and Internet. While we were looking for the examples, we found that authority parenting has many various types and also cause different results. According to the examples we focused on, we found that both hyper authority and zero obedience are not good ways in parenting. The real best way is that parents had better raise children strictly sometimes, and it is also very necessary to give private space for children.
2. Did working on the presentations change or re-enforce any of your ideas about the material we covered?
The experiment we talked in classes made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. And I had to think about authority seriously. Most of time I felt I really didn't want to follow the expert's rules, it seemed like make me crazy. But when we were preparing our presentation, we realized that authority in family is very necessary and useful sometimes, we can accept it easier.
Hi Lin,
ReplyDeleteGood post!It sounds like the common ground of family authority helped your group avoid any issues or struggle to control the group. I'm also glad you engaged the original material even if it made you uncomfortable. Sometimes that's an important and necessary thing to do!
