1. About the family

According to the resource, we can see that pets are part of the family as well as the children does. What I think is that pets can always be part of the family but in fact, they can never replaced the children because pets arent human being. Although there's a saying that the studies of kinship brings out pets as a substitute of children and providing emtional satisfaction; but what about communication? Does pets and the elder family members communicate in the same way? There was quite an astonishment as I read through it.

2. Goth. Identity, Style and Subculture

Right... Goth? Ive read through the extract but didnt understand well, but basically Ive been thinking that it's about identity, style and subculture, which indicates another important role that could be dedicated outside of a society, perhaps? Ok, I looked at the introduction of that book and it says"From dress and musical tastes to social habits and the use of the internet, Hodkinson details the inner workings of this intriguing group" The author, Paul Hodkinson has made some theory in order to cover all of those he wrote about culture.

3. To but or Not to buy

In nowadays, children has always got the unbelievable power that gradually to tell their parents what they wanted to buy and they must have it, the pester power as we called. Parents might feel quite an absurd that why and how their children arent the same as they were. The qualitative study conducted out a research of children living in families that have a proportional influence building up a dynamic in their contemporary consumer culture. Anyhow I think parents need to be able to keep learning in order to deal with their children.
