Parental Influences (Creation of perspectives)
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Often the expression when explaining the negatives of an individual and his or her parents. The reality is that this term applies to basically every individual who has been raised by parents, however its not necessarily negative. People may argue that they feel worlds apart when considering their relationships with their parental figures. The answer that I feel best explains these emotions, boils down to a couple key reasons. Primarily I believe time is what creates negativity and lack of care in these relationships. For example too much time around your parents, and your bound to end up in arguments or debates. Of course too little time can create a gap in the relationship that will end up providing less context among families and could decrease memorable moments in ones child hood. The next reason that one may see them selves different from their parents is simply because they are so similar to them. I have personally came across this circumstance in my own father son relationship. Me and my dad have so many similar views that for the most part we are happy. The unfortunate part is that once one small view on a topic differs our argumentative nature creates unnecessary tension between us. So, because me and my dad share the quality of creating debates, we often will be at odds with each other due to have being worked up over a small disagreement. All in all I believe that no matter how different you may feel from your parents, there are small reasons for this and they have the ability to change.
