present facts and statistics

behaviors that my parents taught me

       When I was young my parents raised me to be a good man, they taught me how to behave and how to respect people. One of the most important things that i've been taught from them is respecting older people, teachers, and my family. My parents always told me to be respectable with older people, becuase they are the ones who have experince in life and we could learn from them a lot. Teachers give us education in school, not just that, they also teach us how to behave so, they deserve a huge respect for thier work. my parents taught me to respect them by doing my homeworks, don't talk in class and, don't yell at them. And there were rewards or punishments. If i was doing my homwork ,respect my teachers and don't make troubles in school I'll get rewards. In the other hand, i would be punished if i was lasy at school ,didn't do my homework and didn't respect my teachers.

Telling the truth and don' t lie is very important for my family, I was punished many times becuase of lying. they told me if i lied people would have bad ideas about me. they told me lying would get you in bigger problems.

How We Learn To Behave

letter 1



The kid must know that is worng and bad behavior, and you must explain to him that he will lose his friends and the teachers won't like him any more.

If he insist and didn't listen to you, warn him he will get punished. If that doesn't work you have to punishe him.

Also another important thing, you and your husband shouldn't swear in front of him, becuase kids always do what thier parents does.

The Family Today

This is a comparison between American families and Saudi families.
In United States there has been a tremendous increase in the number of maried women who work outside the home. On the other hand in Saudi Arabia most women don't have jobs, usually they stay and take care of their childern and the house work, even though the number of employed women has been increasing in the last few years.

In United States both husband and wife have to share the house work and children care. In Saudi Arabia women have to do all the house work and it's very rare that the husband help his wife in  house work.

In United States single parent family has become fairly common because of increasing the number of divorces, and the majority of such families are headed by women, most of these families lives below the poverty level. another reason in the rise of single- parent family is the increase in the number if never-married women having childern. In Saudi Arabia, even though the never married women having children is very rare, the number of single parent family has been increased in the last few years.

Step families has been increased in United States  becuase of divorces and remarriages. The difficulties for stepfather will be dealing with his stepson. Step families are very rare in Saudi Arabia.
