"The Family"

After reviewing the family models for today's blog, I've seen how perfectly matched these two families are for their parties.  For example, since Conservatives follow the strict father model, they basically display every trait that is given here as a description.Here, the father is the head of the house with sole responsiblity while the mother watches from the sidelines, but plays her part as a supporter. Through his perspective that life is hard and dangerous, he tries to protect his family in every possible aspect in life. Meanwhile, "the father" embodies every good there is such as being morally strong and self-disciplined. He sees retribution as he sees fit while holding himself to a high strandard as an example for his family. As sort of speak it is "tough love" and once the kids have grown up, they are on their own to make it or break it. (explains why the view of topics such as abortion and homosexuality)
Nurturing parent model is, on the otherhand, unlike the strict father model, this model allows both parents to actively play a part in their child's life. The first and for most goal in this family is to be cared for and about. Protection for them means from external dangers such as drugs and crime since the world is "filled with evils that can harm a child." Unlike the "tough love", we saw earlier, here parents do teach self discpline, but also "hold your hand" through life.
