Family resource management tries to look into the complexities in making decisions in

families and behavior. The book provides a solid theoretical foundation for us to understand and

withhold the process of decision making. It covers areas for presenting the investigation of

family resource management, recognizing family needs, appreciating the resources accessible to

families in contrasting financial conditions, assessing options and simply deciding, executing and

assessing the resolutions achieved.

           Analysis of needs wants, and values will provide accurate information about how the

family is structured. A need can be portrayed as a prerequisite like food or shelter. Needs are

necessities for us to live. A want can be anything you might want to have, yet it isn't

fundamental. This assessment will go a long way in understanding how the challenges are being

perceived, how they can be accessed, and taking responsibility for the results achieved. There

ought to be a good comprehension of the ramifications of the changes. Recognizing and

addressing the necessities of people with their families can be troublesome, contingent upon how

they define their requirements. (Moore & Asay p.159)Values, for example, genuineness with

trust, are rules that steer conduct. They are alluring or significant and act as primary inspirations.

Values decide on the objectives, which are pursued outcome. Goals can be understood or

unequivocal. They can be present, intermediate or long-lived. Choices are ends or decisions

about some matters. The process of decision making includes picking either at least two other

options with a progression of steps from beginning to assessment.

           Needs, wants, and wants are unique to an individual because they will play a vital role in

the survival and socialization of an individual. Resources may not always be available and

accessible, which will highly affect how they will be utilized. The needs and wants of the

primary character require acknowledgement of how they vary. They are all about the standard of

living that includes where one lives with the particular lifestyle chosen. This perception has

changed over time; for example, owning a computer was perceived as a luxury, but with time it

has been considered a necessity that you may not survive without because of the benefits they

have (Moore & Asay, p. 131). Some of the key influencers include the new trends in technology

that have to be embraced for survival. The social factors that impact the value system of the

primary character include the income size, which depends on the occupation with the cultural

background. The social-economic status also affects the perception of relationships with others. 

Societal needs influence the decision-making process and resolution planning. The steps are

controlled by an individual's values, attitudes, and behaviors. This process will involve

identification with evaluating all parts of a decision and making moves given the finding that

creates the most significant result. A vital decision made by the primary character utilizing the

five steps in the decision-making process involved identifying the objective with good

information gathering and analysis. The model for this process consists of recognizing different

interests, and the decision in this model is not that perfect. (Moore, p.36)The steps include

perceiving existing requirements, distinguishing choices to satisfy needs, assessing recognized

alternatives, selecting with the execution of options, and pondering and assessing the options

chosen. 

The characters engaged with each other and other social institutions in the decision-

making process in a way where they each rely on each other for the survival process in cases

where the society may be hostile. The method enables all the participants to come up with

solutions to problems that may arise. Whenever you consider your decision-making qualities,

you should rest assured to keep your integrity with your opinion is correct and move toward

choices with certainty and transparency. Likewise, you'll realize that what you're doing is best

presented with future joy and fulfilment. (McCarthy, 2010) Respect is also a key value where we

should treat others the way we want to be treated and take responsibility by accepting

opportunities that contribute to something.
