Struggles and Motivational Stories: Reflective Experiences of a Student with Dysfunctional Family Relationship
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 08
Abstract
The family is considered the basic unit of society and portrays an important function as one of the main social institutions. However, the family system is confronted by challenges thus, suffers disintegration which results in dysfunctional family relationship. Numerous studies have been conducted exploring family relationships and how an unhealthy living environment could affect the well-being of an individual from properly portraying his or her vital role in society. This study also focuses the research process around what works, rather than trying to fix what does not. This study however aims to focus on the reflective experiences – the stories of struggles and motivation of an individual dealing with dysfunctional family relationship. The researcher utilized appreciative inquiry as the main design and used a single case study approach, in which the main participant faces a dysfunctional family set-up but still finds ways to live a productive life through engaging in the community. Through thematic analysis, the study revealed that individuals coming from dysfunctional homes are not always the ones who misbehave, are in conflict with the law, or become a rebel. Oftentimes, they value their life and develop their coping mechanisms to be a productive member of society. Through the narrative and experiences of the participant, this study has established that a dysfunctional home can also create and develop the most goal-driven and not disinterested in civic involvement and activities type of individuals.
