The Mormon Family

The church is the hierarchy led by the priests. In order to accept a priest, a man must be a man. In the Declaration, "Through God's design, fathers are responsible for entertaining their families in a loving and fair manner and being responsible for providing essentials and protection to their families" (lds.org). The term "hosting" means something, in this case you have authority over the family. Almost all leaders are men, as the church resembles families.

Years ago, Tara Westover and her survivors' Mormon family were living a lonely life in the Idaho countryside. She will not spend a lot of time with her relatives and relatives unless they are in the church. Her father, Jean (pseudonym) did not believe the idea of ​​sending the child to public schools and doctors, but decided to send them to the house. Tara and his brothers have to learn how to read the Mormonism books, the Bible, and the Brigham, Yang and Joseph Smith speech.

I was born in 1991. My parents used to be devout Mormons. In fact, my whole family is still mostly Mormon. Of course, there are different levels of faith and loyalty for each individual, but in reality my family is a six-generation Mormon in two respects, which is inevitable. I know that many people grew up with religious families. I certainly can not claim to grow in the most harsh environments, but religion is absolutely pervading every aspect of our daily lives. We held meetings and events on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and most Saturdays. As a family, we pray many times a day. Biblical reading is done everyday. Fasting (not eating 2 meals, usually 24 hours) is done once a month unless there is a special need, and it is done more frequently after that.

In Mormonism religion, families are full of confidence in healing and healthy gods, prayers and priests' blessings. Mormons also believe in the use of modern medicine for health care and healing. To maintain and protect health, Mormons believe to avoid healthy eating habits, healthy lifestyle, and substance abuse, alcohol and coffee. Mormons have similar health and customs and traditions as many Americans in other religions. According to the interview, many cultures believe there is a healthy eating habit to maintain health.

Since 1847, we have become a family of Mormons living in Utah. Wisdom's wisdom, a healthy religious doctrine, makes women of my family consistent with food. There is no coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol. In most cases, these women already have a baby at the age of 30. Prior to 1960, there was only one woman with breast cancer. Traditionally, as a group of people, Mormon has a very low cancer incidence. Is our family culturally abnormal? The truth, we were not thinking about it. People who did it, usually men, simply say "bad genes". The attitude of a woman is working hard. Cancer is a part of life. On the evening of my mother's surgery on 16th February 1971, I incorrectly took the phone and inadvertently asked what she could expect from my grandmother.
