In my family relations class, we talked about theories in the family. We talked about how a theory is an attempt to explain a family phenomenon, or why something happened. I won't go into too much detail describing each theory, but I do want to tell you that one thing I thought was really interesting, was the term homeostatic mechanism. A homeostatic mechanism is the idea that something effects something else, for example: when mom isn't happy that effects everyone's mood and everyone isn't happy. I thought this was interesting that one person's mood can effect the other family member's mood as well. Because the family is so important to God's plan, I think that it is important to understand what homeostatic mechanism is so that we can prevent chaos and return to God with honor.
