JSol Blog 3 - Authority

I've also been thinking quite a bit about authority.  My parents are divorced, so the idea of authority was a bit different.  Reflecting on how my family life operated my father was less strict, but I felt like he had more authority because I did not want to let him down.  My mom gave me a curfew and had a set of rules for me to follow, but I found myself breaking them more than I followed them.  Authority is tough for me to put my finger on because people respond so differently and families operate in different ways.  I look forward to learning more about the differences with male-dominated authority versus female-dominated authority.  What I find more interesting is seeing which method proves to be more effective, or if effectiveness with authority is even measurable.
