I found it useful to be able to see how one person in the family can affect the family as a whole unit. Yesterday, in class we did a mock session of what it might be like if one member of the family was to move to a different city or different country in hopes of helping their family to have a better life. It was interesting to see the stress and the new challenges that were placed on the family because of the decision that had been made. I found this experience very helpful in broadening my understanding of others and in being more open-mined to those who have cultures and experiences different than my own. I liked how yesterday, we actually got to see things in terms of the family rather than in terms of individuals, because it helped me to realize how one person's decision affects so many more people than just themselves. In society in general, particularly with most of the media, it seems like the focus is all on the individual and doing what is best for that individual in a particular situation  and not taking time to think about the effects that decision will have on anybody else, so I liked that I was able to gain a vital insight into the consequences of our choices and how our choices can influence our given relationships with others, especially within a family.
