Social approval

1- All humans desire a life that includes love, respect, prestige, admiration, and freedom.

2- Value, opinion, belief—refers to rewarding feeling of having others agree with us on issues that we feel important (related to social approval).

3- Unable to explain why families have children—is it a reward, profit, costs—there is no clear answer.

Example: when I talk about family we always respect everyone no matter old, young, or kid. For example, I don’t smoke in front of my sisters because they hate it. Another one is when I go back home all my sisters that live in different cities they come to my city that I live with my mother to see me and everyone asking me what I want for lunch or dinner because they know I miss our food, some of them good at dessert and everyone know what my favorites food. My mother, always asking me if I need anything because most of the time I’ll be shy to ask my old sister to do something for me and I let my mother tell her/ them to do it. I do the same thing to my mother and sister when they asking me to go shopping, because they are married and their husband most of the time busy from work and they don’t have a chance to go shopping just in the weekend but when I go there I always give them my time to let them get their needs anytime they want, I go there to spend as much as I can with them and them after that my friends and my business. My family, like typical families in the region, is large and exciting. Precisely, we are eleven siblings, made up of five brothers and six sisters. I am the ninth born. All my beloved sisters are in the noble teaching profession and so are three of my brothers. My father is a freelancer and he is the family’s breadwinner. My mother is a housewife and since she is a bit aged, she did not attend much school due to the culture of the time. She is, however, excellent in her role as a mother and nurturer to her family where her great love binds us all together in a happy bliss of a home. My father and mother generation proud how many kids do they have, no matter what your job or how much you got paid, we belief that God going to take care of it, and my generation some of them think that way and other think when they married they what to wait little bit and have one or two after that but sometime their parents push them to get kids before the parents die to see them and enjoy the time with them. Kids always good to have not just to supports the family but you will proud of them between their relative. For example, my family most of them are teachers and most having businesses. I learned to take care about myself and to not sit and do nothing and I know when I need help my brothers and sisters are there but not all the time because they have family to take care of them and they are not responsible of me all the time.
