Freud Family Romances

I kind of agree some points of Freud. He mentioned, children follows parents as the model when they grow up. That is totally true. When I was a kid, I learn what my parents taught me, I learned their words, their behaviors. My father is a policeman, I admire him a lot. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a strong man like him. Absolutely, when I grow up, I go to college, I come abroad, I know more and more about the world, the culture, and the education. Especially the culture shock of United States, compared to Chinese, I found some disadvantage of my family education, but that doesn’t mean that I should eliminate all the education from my parents, they taught how to be a good man. I may critize some methods they use to educate me, but I don’t hate them, I appreciate everything they did to me. Thus, I will keep what I know in mind, and use that method to teach my kids in future. That is how the society works, learn, do, and improve it. So I don’t agree Freud’s opinion about critizing the parents, because I love them, and I am the man they made.
