Under different household behavior models, individuals will have divergent motive for leaving inheritance. Horioka et al. (2000) and Horioka (2002, 2014) summarize three household behavior models, which are the life cycle model, the altruism model and the dynasty model. In the life cycle model, also called self-interest model, individuals usually have no plan to leave an inheritance or use bequest to exchange financial assistance or nursing care provided by their children during the old age. In other words, bequeathing money to children is just a kind of payment for service. In the altruism model and dynasty building model, individuals will have a positive bequest leaving motive towards their children. Additionally, in the dynasty model, individuals …show more content…

For those who leave an inheritance no matter what are regarded as an unconditional altruistic bequest motive, and those who choose “I do not plan to leave an inheritance to my child(ren) under any circumstances because doing so may reduce their will to work” could be regarded as altruistic bequest motive as well, because this is a kind of tough love for their children. Those who leave an inheritance to exchange for nursing care and financial assistance are considered as conditional bequest motive. Along with those who have no bequest motive because they want to use up their own wealth and those who are going to leave whatever is left over, those conditional bequest motives are treated as self-interested household behavior. Those who are going to leave an inheritance to the child(ren) who will carry on the family business are consistent with dynasty building bequest motive. For those who have positive will to leave an inheritance but have no capacity to do so are not classified in the household behavior …show more content…

It can be left to the families of the descendents; or it can be bequeathed for public purposes; or, finally, it can be administered by its possessors during their lives….The first is the most injudicious. Why should men leave great fortunes to their children? If this is done from affection, is it not misguided affection?….As to the second mode, that of leaving wealth at death for public uses, why should a man wait until he is dead before he becomes of much good in the world?.... Men who leave vast sums in this way may fairly be thought men who would not have left it at all

In today’s society, there is a wide variety of family configurations which are constantly changing and adapting to things such as cultural diversity, divorce rates, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. The “typical” family, (commonly seen in American 1950’s television sitcoms) is a rarity in 2015. Problems with communication arise when one makes assumptions about another person’s family dynamic. For example, people with careers in fields like teaching, law, and healthcare have to be especially aware and sensitive to the fact that not all families display the “traditional” European American family model which consists of a household with parents of the opposite sex, their biological children, and a strong value placed on individualism.

Within each category there are multiple different subcategories.

Politics, economy, relationships, culture, and point-of-view are all factors in supporting this theory.

The Socio-behaviorist theory (behaviorism) Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment.

Have you ever wondered just how many single parents that you pass on your way to work or school that are homeless, living in shelters, or on the streets?

My mother ended up finding a decent minimum wage job along with receiving a housing voucher to move into an apartment complex
