Definition of Families

One concept that we talked in class was the phenomenological definition of the family. I really enjoy the movie Avatar and found it interesting to hear about it in my Fam class. The recurring saying “I see you”, in Avatar is the idea of looking at the world through one’s own eyes. Seeing someone as they are not as society defines them. This is the idea of seeing someone not as a pretty face, or a collection of physical features, but there soul, and there inner person. I think this is something that people in North America have trouble doing. We often find it hard to work past outer flaws to see an inner person.
