Reading this piece by Freud made me realize what a major impact a parent’s opinion may have on a child. I do agree with Freud’s thinking, our parents are the ones who are responsible for educating us on society and basic things at a very young age. Yet as we grow we start to stray away from what is set for us by our parents. We start to learn there are other ways of thinking and different options within the world. The roles of family members are sought out to us at an early age. We know what a mother’s “role” typically consist of and what a father’s “role” is. I believe this is what Freud piece is mainly about. Every family has a relationship and roles that coexist with each other. Our minds are carved into thinking every one has a specific role and thats what is normal. A father is pictured as a strong, hard working individual while a mother is caring and the one who takes care of the home and family. Yet somehow a father or a mother may be valued differently when they are equal. I believe this is common in some family’s who are typically old fashioned and live by the old societal rules and perspective. When in reality a father or a mother do not have given roles. They can do what they want and have as much control as they want in a family. Our opinions do now always have to have our parents approval. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and choices throughout their life.
