Nuclear families are a form consisting of father, mother and their biological children. Also referred to as the 'traditional' family. Not timeless or universal concept. Extended family- kin networks that extend outside or beyond the nuclear family. End vs. Ex Endogamy- marriage from within ones social group.
Parsons believes this changed occurred due to society changing what it needs. Society need to change due to geographic mobility due to factories being created in one area and knocked down in another. Therefore people have to be able to just up roots and “follow the work”. The mobility would be a lot easier for a nuclear family than an extended family due to the fact that there are less people to move. Secondly there was a high demand for a socially mobile workforce.
On one hand the Liberals brought in reforms for necessity. Some historians think negatively about the reasons for Liberal reforms. For example, the want to help poor working classes wasn’t due to a genuine desire to help but to oppose the rise of Labour. Another negative viewpoint of Liberal reforms concern the improvements of lives of children. Some argue that this in fact was to build a bigger, the economy can be seen not as a genuine desire to help unemployed and sick but to challenge Germany.
One of the reasons companies outsource workers, and thus help imperialize foreign countries, is for cheap labor. Western corporations can have multiple sources for a given item, in order to allow continued production once one region realizes it is being treated unfairly and strikes. Oddly, it is argued that these companies could survive without any foreign connection—capitalism without imperialism. But, this would lower profits and prevent “advanced capitalism.” The decision to claim that cultures with what is considered modern technology is defined by military power rather than which culture is actually superior. It is this force that essentially created this gap.
The view that industrialization led to the decline of the extended family and the rise of the nuclear family is seen to be a functionalist view because this focuses mostly on the social structure and what effects it has to parts of the society, but not directly the people within it. The extended family fits the needs of the pre-industrial society because the extended family consists of extended kin networks who aided each other in mostly agricultural labor with the rest of the family. The nuclear family on the other hand benefits from industrialization because physical labor is not necessarily needed because people would rely on machinery to do things that the extended family would do by hand, therefore meaning that extra family members are not required to live together to get work done. On one hand, you could say that industrialization did not lead to the decline of the extended family and revive the nuclear family. For example, the sociologist Peter Laslett had explored the myth that the family was normal in pre-industrial Britain.
Capitalism called for the lack of government intervention in the economy. It relies on natural laws, Competition, supply and demand and good workers. Capitalism was to run off of the self-interest of the people. Capitalism resulted in many new inventions and innovations. But there was also an
However, Blade runner has very limited amounts of nature and shows a industrialized and scientifically advanced society thus the distinctive differences between Frankenstein and blade runner reveal more about the connections between them. Fears in society will always alter as time progresses however. This idea is further exemplified through the symbolism of Tyrell’s oversized glasses. The fear that humanity is blind toward the danger of the ultimate extinction of any form of nature is expressed in Shelley’s novel thus blade runner mimics the fear and effectively becomes a warning toward this issue. Hence forth, both texts effectively delve into the negative connotations that could come of the obsessive pursuit of
Imperialism is still more negative. Imperialism is only imposed on weaker nations such as Afghanistan, Haiti, and ____________, by stronger nations such as the United States. When underdeveloped nations get conquered by stronger nations, this gives them a less chance of ever becoming developed. Before the stronger nations along, the under developed was already having to develop. In several of these cases, these under developed countries do not have a strong centralized government.
It was seen that those who are already at an advantage gain greater benefits and that those who are disadvantaged are losing more ground. The ideology of educational establishments is changing, and is more concerned about attracting the talented and the privileged than helping the disadvantaged. Some critics strongly attacked the new vocationalism, which characterises the different youth training schemes. Dan Finn refuses to accept that its real aim is to achieve the objectives it alleges. Finn states that confidential government papers that were disclosed to the London publication Time Out in 1983 show that the true purpose of the youth training schemes was to restrict the number of workers who would join trade unions, in order to minimise the bargaining power of the workforce.
Murdock, a functionalist, states that the family has four functions: sexual, economic, reproductive and educational, He argued that the family needs these four factors and he argues that they are the family's purposes. One of the most prevalent people in functionalism is Parsons, Parsons came up with the major theories of the family. He believed that the modern family has two core functions, which are the primary socialisation of children and the stabilisation of adult personalities. Criticisms of this functionalist belief include that it is biased towards the supposedly 'typical' American family. Another criticism of the functionalist view is that assumptions are made about industrial society.
