* Laumann debated that finding and conveying sexual relationships requires sources as time, money and social capital but why do this if it is better for individuals to discuss about their emotional and physical needs instead of switching partners which cost more. Critical portion The author gives lot of factual components on how the sex strategy changed over the last 50 years. When he explains the group formation of these different groups; Married, dating, cohabiting I am inclined to believe in his argument. It’s a common fact that I witnessed in my daily life that married couples have better chance of being in a long term relationship than those who are single or cohabiting and are afraid of committing. Response Overall, I liked this article.
Another sociologist, Michael Anderson found evidence that extended families developed more during industrialisation because while parents were away at work, grandparents or uncles and aunts were there to look after the children so in return the extended kin get looked after too. Peter Laslett, an English historian disagreed and found that after industrialisation, nuclear families was more dominated than the extended family and single parent families became popular
But by 1983, two changes affected the nursing field. As I mentioned already, hospitals began hiring more BSN grads. The Diploma Grad was still very highly trained and excellent, but the powers in charge believed BSNs could deliver a better quality of care, especially in the written areas-- charting, care plans, research. The 2nd change that hit new grads in 1982-1983 was the failure of the country's steel mills, coal mines, and other labor industries like glass mills, especially in the northeastern states. Husbands were now unemployed and many of the RN-wives who had previously stayed home as housewives and mothers returned to the nursing field.
In many cases, the wife was expected to run the house and provide child care. The husband would be the breadwinner and handle the financial decisions. Love was shown in part by performing duties for the family. As we discussed marriage has undergone many transformations that helped weaken the social norms that defines normal relationship ideas over the past few decades. Some examples of this are apparent with the increasing number of cohabiting relationships and the changes in both marriage and divorce rates during the 20th century.
However working class children were put into work houses or in agriculture to help support the low incomes of families’ economic struggles. This, in accordance to Aries, tells us that children were seen more as a financial asset than a symbol of peoples love for one another. This can be supported by looking how families in pre-industrial had larger families because of reasons of needing a better overall family income but also because life expectancy was dramatically lower than it in modern day terms. One thing in common that both sets of children shared in this society was strict control by parents/ adult authoritive figures and severe punishment for defiance. It was only in late industrialisation when significance change occurred, people began campaigning for child rights, something that had never happened until this point.
The common perception of marriage is that it was originally weighted heavily in favour of the male member of the couple, and that this has shifted slowly to a more even-handed arrangement in recent years. This essay will examine the question of how accurate this belief really is. Historically, marriage was highly unequal. While the husband took the role of breadwinner and went out to earn the necessary money to support the family, his wife was expected to stay at home and look after the more mundane tasks that make up the day-to-day running of a household. As the former role was commonly seen as more valuable than the latter, this often meant that the husband held most of the power, such as deciding where they would live, how resources were distributed, etc.
Outcome 1 The early year’s sector in the UK at the current moment is complex. Unlike in many other European countries, it was not developed by a government policy in pursuit of specific aims, but emerged in an ad hoc fashion in response to families requirements based on changing social and economic factors. For example, during the Second World War women were needed in greater numbers in the workforce to replace men serving in the armed forces, so nurseries were set up to care for the children whose mothers went out to work in factories and offices etc. However, when the war came to an end and the men came back for their jobs, a lot of nurseries were closed. In the second half of the twentieth century, public expenditure on early year’s provisions focused on families who presented social need and difficulties.
They didn’t even gain the right to vote until the 1920’s. They have always been looked at as the inferior sex in almost all categories. They were the ones who were supposed to stay home and watch over the children while the husbands got jobs and worked out in the real world making a difference. This was the societal standard even into the mid to late 1980’s. However, when the 1990’s began a lot of feminist movements began that spoke out to the fact that women should have more of a role in society than just to cook and clean.
If we take a step back in time (roughly 60 years ago) families worked hard, and tended to the home as though it were a job as well. Bringing it back to present day, the average american family has more electronic device running their household than they do family members. We rely far to heavily drive through diners to provide dinner, and the dinning room table has all but become extinct. Our priority have shifted, and our young families and children of today’s society haven’t had the role models and ground rules of life passed down to them like our Mother’s and Father’s. Women care about their appearances and have taken “staying young” to the extreme.
They believe in patriarchy – men are dominating over women and think this isn’t fair. Delphy and Leonard argue that women provide 57 varieties of unpaid services for men, including sexual desires. They also feel that women contribute more to family life, by things like the birth of the children, but they get fewer material benefits of family life than men. Oakley found that only 15% of husbands had a high level of participation in housework and only 25% had a participation in childcare. This shows the majority of families have segregated conjugal roles – men are primarily the breadwinners and the females are the housewife/ look after the
