What is dating?

 This week my studies took me to research what counts as dating. What I found it pretty interesting. Going on a date means is has to be planned, paid for (if applicable), and paired off (knowing who's on the date with who).  There's a TTT rule that comes with dating as well. The first T stands for Time. The second T stands or Togetherness. The last T stands for Talk. These are 3 rules that can be applied to dating someone specifically. It's important to talk with someone to get to know them, have experiences together to create a good level of togetherness, and to let time take its course. Time will always be able to tell if a relationship is going to work or not.  These are 2 things I found while doing my research about dating. Hopefully this was helpful to anyone who reads this. Just remember to do your own research as well if this is something you're interested in looking into. Thanks for reading.

How can gender play a role in families?

 Welcome to another controversial blog post. Please keep in mind my intent is not to offend anyone. It's simply to share what I have found through some of my studies this week. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments. There have been multiple studies done about the characteristics of males and females. The majority of these studies were done at a young age and were done by observation. What was found is the majority of girls have characteristics that were more nurturing, cooperative with others, creative, were more aware of multiple things at a time, had communication skills, attentiveness to detail, and an ability to read emotions and nonverbal cues. The majority of boys have characteristics that were more aggressive, competitive, protective, a desire to provide, startled easier, and were good at spatial orientation. Not every boy and girl exhibited these exact characteristics, but the majority of them had some of these characteristics based on their gen

What are the effects of social culture and class on families?

 My studies this week turned towards the effects that social environment can have on families. Have you ever noticed that people tend to mimic who they are around if they are around them for a long time? Well, the same principle applies with families. The longer anyone in a family is exposed to something, the more a part of the family it becomes. For example, if a family rarely spends time together then suddenly the parents decide to spend more time as a family. It will be awkward and feel weird at first. The children may talk about how they want to hang out with their friends or how it's stupid to spend time as a family, but as the family continues to spend more time together it will become more natural. Eventually it will be an integral part of the family to spend time together often.  Another aspect I studied was the effects of social class on the family. Surprisingly there is a large effect on families in different social classes. The families that tend to be closest are the mi
