“Gary and Tony Have a Baby” is a one-hour documentary by Soledad O'Brien that CNN covered. The documentary followed Gary Spino and Tony Brown, a gay couple that had been together for 20 years, through their personal experience of becoming parents not by adoption, but through surrogacy. The method that this couple chose was a lengthier and more legally tedious option than adoption, which is usually the way that same sex couples decide to take to start their families. In order for Gary and Tony to have their baby they had to involve two other women, which was Piper the egg donor and Cindy the surrogate mother. For these two gay activists, the dream of having a baby and forming their own biological family would come out on the expensive side

Cause and Effects of an ISFJ Upon taking the Meyers-Briggs personality type indicator assessment test, I found out that I am classified as an ISFJ.

As I stated earlier Cherlin broke marriage down in three types, the first that he spoke of was the companionate marriage. This type of marriage is based on the companionship, friendship and love shared between couples. He spoke of the pride couples took in their rolls in the family, dad as the breadwinner and mom as the homemaker and caregiver to her children and husband. As transitions continued, companionate marriage became more of an ideal than a norm. The roles of husbands and wives became more open to negotiation, and a more individualistic idea on the benefits of marriage took shape.

Within Sociology the family is defined as a primary social group that consists of parents and their offspring all living together to form a very close social group. This present essay will compare and contrast the difference between four perspectives, these being, the Functionalist, Interactionist, Feminist and the Marxist perspective. The functionalist approach believes that society is a structure of connected parts that work together to maintain a social balance for society. For example they believe that each social institute adds individual functions that are all important to the society. The family for example contributes a lot toward society as it is the main route of reproducing the population and teaching them the important lesson of socialization as they grow.
