Reflection : I agree with this short film . Janice sister is part of the people who are against Home Economics and consider it not useful . But Janice’s Teacher provides more of detail in each course she mentioned throughout the film . In my words , I did not know fashion was part of Home Economics . I thought the main focus was to cook , clean , and know about health . Also The teacher mentioned Psychology of Clothing , Who knew that there was emotions within a piece of cloth we wear constantly . The Psychology of Clothing focuses on creativity which is something we use when we choose our outfits . The College Section provides information on what careers opportunities there is for you in the Home Economics Field . You can be part of Food Service , Teachers for Colleges & Secondary Education , Social Services , and Nursery . I find this very interesting you can learn so many things and pursue a job at the end of your studies . It is a go for anyone with special interest !
Quotes : ” You need to Understand the Principles Of Money Management ” I relate to this for the reason many of us are in a phase were we constantly spend on things we don’t need . With a Home Economics Course you will learn on how to use money on several things such as food purchasingĀ .Ā Especially how to use the money with the income you obtain .
” Your Real Success Or Failure as A Homemaker will be determined by your ability to determine by your ability to develop good family relationships ” This part of the video opens my mind on how behavior is an important factor well needed to gain a good bond within your partner or child .
