Reflection:

We were introduced to the roles that men, women, and children play in the Ibo culture. Men are distinguished and respected above children and women, however a successful man consists of one whom is hard working and wealthy. Women are condescended by men all the time but we learned some women hold recognition for their pivotal roles. Last but not least children are almost as inferior to their mothers. The fact that they spend more time with their mothers than their fathers portrays this very well. Though, this chapter is different from all otrher because we are introduced to the family as a whole and its importance.
