What types of roles and responsibilities does each family member have?

Ryan: My little brother, Dylan, is starting his first year of middle school next week. My parents have decided to buy him his first cellphone as a“back-to-school” present. With his new privilege comes new responsibilities because my parents are making him pay for half of the phone bill with his chore money. This means she will have to start doing more yard work on the weekends. That great, because now I will finally have someone that can help me mow the lawn.

Emily: Next week, I will finally be allowed to get my driver's license. I can't wait for the freedom that comes with having my own car and being able to drive. My parents are giving me a car. Well, am getting my mother's car and I'm here now looking at new cars for her. They are making me pay for my own gas and car insurance, so I will need to get a part-time job. I also agreed to help drive my little brother, Nick, to baseball practice a couple of times a week since my parents are giving me a car

Manuel: Both of my parents work, so it is everybody's responsibility to help out around the house, My mom and dad take turns cooking dinner, My little sister, Kelly, sets the table, and I do the dishes. On the weekends, I help my dad work in the yard, and my mom does the laundry. my sister and I are responsible for keeping are rooms and out bathrooms clean, and my parents clean the rest of the house. Kelly is in charge of feeding the dog every day.
Responsibility is one of our most important family values. with the chores divided up evenly. family members are able to complete their work and still have free time to enjoy with each other and friends.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
