‘Asses the view that the family has become more and more symmetrical.’ The typical Traditional nuclear family is where the man of the house plays the Instrumental role in the family (which is the person who goes out to work, makes the money and supports his family financially), the women plays the expressive role in the family ( which is the housewife who stays at home, cooks, cleans, looks after the children), these roles are referred to as segregated conjugal roles. Although these roles are still in place today in some families, according to Wilmott and Young’s theory, families were becoming lot more symmetrical. A symmetrical family is a family that share male and female roles. For example a woman will go to work just like the man will a man will take care of the kids and so will the woman. Wilmott and Young studied the symmetrical family in 1974, the study carried out was to see if the traditional roles of the household had changed for example was it only the mother’s job to look after the children and tend to the house whilst the father went out to work.
Age is important in this case as new and young baby parents will be on benefits which gives the parents limited money to spend on the child so baring in mind the parents are still young still living at home with their parents they will have a tight budget this comes under a MOSAIC category 'G' career and kids. | This Group is chosen because the company knows babies are born every minute that won't learn to use the toilet for years so by creating soft, delicate high quality and hygienic nappies at an affordable price will allow the young parents with low budgets to purchase this item. | Tesco is a big supermarket it so it can afford to have Adverts on TV Tesco deliberately use TV because its watched by the younger generation more than the elderly the same case with social networks , these are adverts through Face book and so on, the internet is quite modern so this means the younger generation are brought up to use it unlike the elderly which wouldn't have been brought up to use the internet and won't have many experiences on social networks. | Name of company | McDonalds | Name of chosen product |
Similarly the operation of any society is dependent on its social institutions as they provide vital functions which maintain harmony, stability and solidarity within a society. G P Murdock and Talcott Parsons are the main Functionalists of family. According to Talcott Parsons the family has lost many of its functions, but still has two important functions. The primary socialisation of children: children learn norms and values in their society from their parents, who teach them what is right and what is wrong. Murdock argued that the nuclear family was a universal social institution and has four important parts to play in keeping society functioning: reproductive, economic, sexual and education function.
Many nurseries are now located on site a primary or community school to help the transition between foundation stages 1 and 2 easier for the children. However the independent nurseries are funded by the fee that the parents/guardian’s will pay so their children can attend a private nursery or attend earlier then the government funded age. Community schools are state schools and are not influenced by businesses and religious groups. They are completely controlled and owned by the local education authority. These schools will only have children who are from the local community as their admissions policy can be very strict.
Since they let their responsibility go, the house replaced the parents which made the children feel that the house is their parents. Also, with the amount of technology they have, they rely on technology too much which became other human contact. With that being said, technology doing everything for you is not great but to an extent it is fine. In the short story, “The Veldt”, the house takes responsibility for the family and the children feel that the house is their parents. The children rely on their technology that is available for them instead of their parents.
Supporting Family Values Growing up in a small community doesn’t give many people the realization of how many illegal immigrants are around and what the living conditions are that they face. Some people feel that illegal immigration isn’t a big concern and others feel very strong about the subject. Chavez discusses the concerns for increase in population and the issue with language barriers. However, many colleges now offer immigrants with a language barrier the option to take classes and become educated. Chavez is right about the parent to kid household; many of the families that come over from another country illegally can only afford to take in the small amount of people in their house.
Older children were also in day care or on their own. Children were suddenly responsible for things far beyond their knowledge, like cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and caring for their brothers and sisters, as well asthemselves. The kids had no warning of this, except for overhearing their parents' arguments about the mother working outside of the home. Before the 1960s, parents were in charge of households, not the children. Excepting parents with mental illness, alcoholism, or other problem behavior, when parents abused or neglected their children, they were the ones who maintained homes and enforced rules for the family.
In America it is not uncommon for people in their 20’s to still be in school, which would disallow them to work full-time to afford coverage. So a major affect of the plan makes it possible for young adult under the age of 27 to remain on their parents’ health insurance. It also ensures that group health insurance plans make it more accessible to employees and require all individuals to be accountable for obtaining some type of health care. It also makes sure to benefit those people who regularly wouldn’t attend physician’s offices’ because of income, while reducing the profit physicians will receive. These types of standards will help to regulate the way our health care
Literature Review Many juvenile delinquents are products of the single- parent families. “The family may be seen as the cornerstone of society” (as cited by Ronald Regan), and the way the family functions will be reflected in society. Functionalist, George peter Murdock defined the family as “a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom have a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more own or adopted children” (Mustapha, 2009). Murdock and Parsons believed that the nuclear family was the most appropriate family structure as it provided the four basic functions which were ‘companionship and sexual gratification,’ in which the family develop intimate relationships and control sex drives, ‘reproductive functions,’ to ensure the continuation of life and ‘socialization,’ which is where the child learns the norms and values of society at an early age.
Living in Harrison and hanging out all over Westchester you see that there is a lot of money going around. Being said this creates a better environment for everyone who attends the school. Especially with the greater wealth around the campus this creates a better campus with higher paid teachers and better technology resources than other schools. The third reason why community colleges are very beneficial is that it creates opportunities for people who are less financially sound. Coming from my own home my parents didn’t have enough money to put me through a big time college right now and rather than spending fifty thousand a year I’m only spending about two thousand.
