How I was Raised Survey Reflection

The first survey I chose to complete was How I was raised which allow one to think about their own personal values and morals that was taught by our parents. When taking this survey, I began to think on how my parents raised me and the different things they taught me about life. One thing that my parents always taught their children was to be different and be our own individual. They taught on the importance of being independent so when a person decides to walk out and leave we will still have some sort of stability of our own. Parents are the breaking ground for their children and how we raise them factors out what kind of adults they would be.
Some of the questions that were asked in the survey were when speaking to an adult, is it polite to give them eye contact? Or In my culture (the way that I was raised) bowing to each other is the appropriate form of greeting. The person lowest in rank must bow first and bow deepest. Which in my culture to bow down to someone would be considered humorous because that is not the way we were raised. We spoke to adults by addressing them hello madam or sir and always gave eye contact to show others we are speaking the truth and we respect who they are.

In closing, the surveys do allow you to think about your childhood and how your parents raised you. Whether, we turned out to be college graduates or the complete opposites, parents teach us things based on what they know. Everything my parents taught me may have not been correct, but evidently it has made me into a strong adult who chose to be successful and independent and things that are influential to me I am passing those lessons down to my daughter.
