Firstly, whether a family live in a symmetrical family or not will have an effect on the divisions of labour. March of Progress theorists (Liberal Feminists) such as Young and Willmott argue that family life is gradually improving for all its members, becoming more equal and democratic. For example, women now go out to work, just as men now help with housework and childcare. However Radical Feminists reject the ‘March of Progress’ theory, and argue that women remain unequal within the family. Anne Oakley argues that we still live in a patriarchal (male dominated) society, and therefore women occupy a subordinate and dependant role within the family and wider society.
Secondary socialisation then is the socialisation we receive in later life from a range of different socialising agencies, such as peer groups, education, mass media and the work place. The three main sociological perspectives (Marxists, functionalists and feminists) all share different views on these socialising agencies (including the family). The first socialising agency I will be looking at is the first a person comes across -- the family. The family is a form of primary socialisation, and is seen as one of the most important agencies, socialising a child into norms and values and acting as a large influence and example for the child. Because of this, the family is very important as a socialising agency, as it teaches children what is right and what is wrong within our society, as well as norms and values, through using things such as sanctions to guide and control this learning process.
Describe ways to resolve any difficulties or dilemma’s about the choice of food and drink. By giving the individual 2 or more choices and letting them decide what they like, giving more details about the food will help them choose. By explaining to an individual about the importance of s healthy diet and encourage and support them to choose healthy options and alternatives. By explaining to the individual about the consequences of a poor diet
Also keeping a diary on when the individual tends to become hungry, therefore that time can become a regular mealtime. Also making mealtimes quite fun and try talking about how they used to enjoy food and their family traditions and celebrations. 2.3 Describe how a person centred approach can support an individual, with dementia at different levels of ability, to eat and drink. Treating everyone as an individual and making them make informed choices is the best person centred approach. Treating them as an individual makes easier to be aware of their preferences.
Using material from Item 2B and elsewhere, assess the contribution of feminist sociologists to an understanding of family roles and relationships (24 marks) Feminists have helped change the tradition view of the family. There are two types of feminists; liberal and radical. As shown in the item they take a ‘critical view’ of the family arguing that it is patriarchal and focus on the ‘gender inequalities’ in housework and violence against women. They believe gender inequality is created by society and is not natural. Functionalist Murdock suggested as children we are socialised into societies shared norms and values and he believed that males provide the economic roles and females provided the expressive role.
Elizabeth Bott conducted a lot of research into conjugal roles and came up with the term ‘joint conjugal role’ which means that the couple share the housework and the childcare. This type of relationship has become much more common since the 1970’s, this suggests that there is more equality between men and women in domestic labour and gender roles. Controversially, Bott discussed segregated conjugal roles, the ‘instrumental role’ played by the man, meaning he provides for the family by going to work whilst the women play the ‘expressive role’ meaning that they cook, clean and look after the
By using this quote, fresh & easy is playing with our wishes of having a better place to live and to leave for future generations. We as parents feel responsible of leaving a good place to leave for our children. For this reason people feel sentimental and willing to buy their products. In addition, using the word “empowering” give us the sense that we have the power to make things happen, to
Interactions between elements happen differently with individuals (Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, & Bjork, 2009). Determinations regarding each individual’s concentration, maintenance, and response to processing styles toward retention and long- term memories can be studied. These types of interactions and studies into learning permits for identification of preferences, strengths, and modes of learning specific to an individual that effect psychological, environmental, social, physiological, and emotional factors (Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, & Bjork, 2009). The purpose of this paper aids in evaluating and describing verbal learning, comparing, and contrasting paired associate, serial, and free recall learning, and exploring concepts of mnemonics within recalling verbal stimuli. Concept of Verbal Learning, Curve of Forgetting and Three Verbal Learning Methods Herman Ebbinghaus is associated with concepts of verbal learning regarding his work with memory.
Although it is not those who raise one whom are to blame for gender inequality. Gender inequality begins during the history of how evolution caused us to be segregated of the two groups of male and female. As an outcome of these gender roles came the affect of gender inequalities, in Family households and in the Workplace. As my research hopes to show, that I believe gender inequalities are learned through ones family and are reflected in the workplace. History of how evolution taught us to have Gender roles The history of how we came to be starts in the early ages of the Homo erectus.
Although this theory hasn’t been proven to be true, I believe nurture affects our behavior more than nature. John Locke’s theory of tabula rasa supports the idea of nurture. Basically what John Locke says is that we are all born with blank slate and our experiences fill up these slates. This means that we will become most likely like the people who raised us; sharing some of their values, likes and dislikes, etc. An example of this is a girl by the name of Oxana.
