Assignment 4- Ben Belin

 My family is interesting in that both sides of my family hold different beliefs. My grandpa on my dad's side was a doctor and thinks that you should work hard and look out for yourself, and this belief was pushed onto my Dad when he was a kid so he thinks this way to. While my grandpa on my mom's side couldn't think more different since he played a large role in the civil rights movement and was a lawyer, and thinks that people need to help and look out for each other. His beliefs were pushed onto my mom who also thinks this way. Usually if I contradict the ideals of one of my parents I am supporting the ideals of the other. I align myself a lot more with the ideals of my mom's side, and I don't think there is a specific event that made me think that way just from watching the news and seeing whats been going on the past few years it seems like Americans need to stop only thinking about themselves and look out for each other.
