Questionnaires are a good way to investigate the role of parents in pupils’ achievement as they are cheap to make and send around, as stated in Item B the children can distribute them to their parents. Using questionnaires means that there is no need to recruit and train professional interviewers to collect and assess the data because the parents complete and return the questionnaires themselves. Questionnaires use mainly closed ended questions which help to give an uncomplicated answer which is easy to quantify. Positivists prefer questionnaires because they are often to a larger scale which makes them more representative and standardised questions and answers produce reliable data as other researchers can replicate the questionnaire. Positivists believe that questionnaires are very reliable and that is the main positive goal.
One article in particular, Antonia Peacocke’s, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, speaks upon the overt offensiveness within the show. She was offended by Family Guy when she first saw it; she was stubbornly opposed to the television show. Still, once she gave it a chance, she began to see that Family Guy’s purpose had a deeper meaning and it was not to insult the viewer, but to educate them about the social structure of the country that we as American’s live in. She explains how the T.V show Family Guy has affected her life in a dramatic way. By far Ms. Peacocke had me on the edge of my bed reading about her analysis of Family Guy taking her time out to explain the show in real life situations and using it in everyday life was tremendous.
It’s beneficial as there are male and female role models available for the children, and it gives the parents more control of how their children are brought up. Another strength is that there’s less interference from wider family members however this can also be seen as a negative aspect, as other people are unaware of what’s happening and if there was any problems within the family and therefore it’s difficult to identify neglect. This also makes it difficult to seek professional help outside of the family. Another disadvantage of this privatised nuclear family is that children are only exposed to one set of values and so are influenced to become like their parents in the future as they have no exposure to other behaviours of different families. A criticism of this
There was a Pakistani girl named Malala Yousafzai who got hurt for saying that women deserve an education in her country. She didn’t care if that’s what her society thought to be acceptable, she knew it wasn’t right and so she rebelled against the whole idea of it. She survived her injuries, and now she protests for women to have a better education. There are a lot of women all over the world just like her that rebel against society’s view of women. In the story, the Awakening, Edna also rebelled against society by freely expressing herself.
GNED 1202 Texts and Ideas L 001 Plato advocated extreme methods of education. He began by removing children from their mothers care and raising them as wards of the state. Great care was taken to differentiate children suitable to the various castes; the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less fortunate. Plato discusses how stories about Greek Gods: Uranus, Coronus and Zeus, shouldn’t be told to children for their upbringing. He argues that in one of the stories God has sex with her sister, which would damage the upbringing of the child, if told.
For example, women now go out to work and become wage earners, just as men now help with housework and childcare. However Feminists reject this theory, and argue that women remain unequal within the family. Anne Oakley argues that we still live in a patriarchal (male dominated) society, and that children are being taught from an early age that the traditional roles are the norm. She also rejects Parsons Theory of saying that it is controlled by biology she believes it is controlled by society. Overall it could therefore be
Existential angst about avoiding exercise?" and with the addition of "Haven't parents heard of discipline? A swift kick up the rear end?" that are specifically aimed towards parents, positions the audience to think that these new reports and considerations are a joke and instead we should be pointing the finger towards parents not towards what controls our children in today's society. The piece is persuading the audience through rhetorical questions in order to agree with her point of view.
It will encourage fathers to abandon their responsibilities to the family because they know that the state will maintain their children and it encourages more lone-parent families. Social policies are negative from the New Right point of view because it challenges the nuclear family as different family types are starting to arise, that aren’t good for
What is meant by the "breakdown of the family" is, then, change, which sometimes may be for the better. The family will continue to evolve under the influence of economic pressure, cultural differences, and an increasingly tolerant society. What is considered to be the nuclear family of today, by tomorrow's standards may not be considered a family at all; however, as long as it fulfills the function of bringing up children in a safe, structured, and loving environment and providing emotional support to the adult individuals that make up our society, it will be alive and
Gilman provides the point of views of these women who know nothing of marriage to allow us to see our own society’s faults in the way we think things should be. By denying the men’s proposition of name change, the women point out the idiocy of the concept we accept to be the norm in our society. This problem of possession and power shows up in Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” as well. The husband in that piece has possession of his wife by controlling her every move. The men in “The Yellow Wallpaper” make the decisions and control their households.
