Dr. Murray Bowen, a pioneer in the field of marriage and family therapy, offered 8 interlocking concepts as a way to think about relationship functioning, especially in one's extended family, nuclear family, and couples' relationships. This is a model that assumes that problems can come from too much togetherness. It assumes that if one feels secure in one's ability to remain separate, one can go the distance in one's effort to remain connected to important people in one's life.
We've all heard about dysfunctional families but it is hard to recognise one from the inside. This presentation looks at ten patterns you often see in a dysfuctional family. We look at some of the reasons families can become dysfunctional and some of the ways that kids learn to cope.
If you grew up in a dysfuctional family it doesn't mean that you have to repeat the same behaviours as you endured. It might take a bit of work but you can learn to be empathetic, supportive and loving towards your family members.

Ericsson ConsumerLab: Family CommunicationEricsson
The Ericsson ConsumerLab report Family Communication, based on studies carried out in the US, shows that all families differ from one another – from the way they communicate to how they create rules and spend time together.
The report compares the behavior of families with high usage of communication services with that of families with low usage. Those two groups of families are equally sized, and both demonstrate extreme behavior. And usage varies greatly – not only between the parents, but even between the children in the two types of families.
Eighty percent of families using a lot of communication services believe that as a result, they are happier, have more communication with each other and better knowledge about each other. But for these families, there are also more concerns that appear.

Introduction
In this course, you’ll learn about the different ways families interact, both with children and without children. Some are the traditional family made up of two married parents and their children, but there are several different and varied family types. These include single-parent families, stepfamilies, and same-sex couples and families.
Regardless of the type of family, all families must complete some family tasks and develop the skills and foundations necessary to complete those tasks. These common tasks are essential to the function of every family. However, the ways they are completed are unique to each family.
In this lesson, you will learn to understand how the family functions as a system, as you develop an understanding of family systems theory. You’ll learn about family tasks, and the strategies different families employ to complete those tasks. Topics covered include:
Defining the Family
Family Systems
Family Tasks
Family Strategies
The Family as a System
Family systems theory, developed by Dr. Murray Bowen, states that the individual cannot be understood outside of the context of the family. The family is a single, functional emotional unit, and all parts impact and change one another. All types of families, both traditional and non-traditional, function as systems.

For this assignment, students will be expected to find and discuss.docxAKHIL969626
For this assignment, students will be expected to find and discuss online news articles published within the last 3 months on any 7 of the following topics:
1. Interracial relationships
2. Homosexuality, bisexuality, or transexuality
3. Family violence
4. Adoption (any aspect)
5. Extra-marital sexuality
6. Births outside of marriage
7. Marriage trends/statistics
8. Blended families
9. Disciplining children
These articles may be from any online news source. Please keep in mind that they must be news articles, not commentaries, editorials, letters to the editor, book reviews, opinion pieces, etc.
Provide the URL for each article you choose and clearly identify each topic you are addressing. Be certain that you note the source of each article including the APA-formatted citation for each article.
For each item, write a brief essay (approximately 400-500 words) in which you do the following:
1. Write a brief summary of the article. This should only be a short paragraph in length. The point is not to repeat everything the article says but to pick out important points and those that relate to information covered in class material.
2. Compare the information in your article with information on that subject covered in your textbook (include page numbers when appropriate). For example, does the information in the article contradict or agree with information presented in your text? How? Why? This is your chance to demonstrate that you know the information on this topic presented in your course material.
3. Discuss which theoretical perspective on the family, as discussed in Chapter 2, is represented/applied in the article. Analyze the topic using the related theory. (This is your opportunity to demonstrate that you understand and can apply the theoretical perspectives in your text.) CHAPTER 2 IS ATTACHED
4. Conclude with your own thoughts on the news article. You might include such thoughts as why this particular topic interested you, if you were surprised by the news, or how you think this issue should be handled by society and why. The point of this part of your essay is to demonstrate that you have reflected on this issue at some length.
As people struggle to understand family-related processes, they develop theories. A theory is a set of statements that explains why a particular phenomenon occurs. Theories drive research; help us analyze our findings; and, ideally, offer solutions for family problems.
One family sociologist compares theories to the fable of the six blind men who felt different parts of an elephant and arrived at different explanations of what elephants were like. The man who felt the side of the elephant compared it to a massive, immovable wall. The man who felt the trunk thought the elephant was like a rope that could move large objects. Similarly, different theories explain different aspects of the elephant—in this case, families (Burr, 1995).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
6. In the corners are the extremes, and are considered as “dysfunctional.”Supporting Function
7.
8. Supporting Function 1. Family Image. (how one sees the family) 2. Family Themes. (what family believes in) 3. Family Boundaries. (what separates family from nonfamily) 4. Biosocial Issues. (issues of rank in family) (Hess and Handel)
9. Primary Function COHESION Emotional bonding that family members experience with each other. (Olson 2000) Levels of COHESION DISENGAGED extreme separateness and little family belongingness SEPARATED emotional independence with some joint involvement and belonging CONNECTED strive for emotional closeness, loyalty and joint involvement and some individuality ENMESHED extreme closeness, loyalty and almost no individuality
10. Primary Function ADAPTABILITY -a primary function of families identified by Galvin and Brommel -it is defined as “the ability of a marital/family system to change its power structure, role relationships, and relationship rules in response to situational and developmental stress” (Olsen et al, 1983 in Galvin, 2006) -while families need stability and change in order to function, it is believed that families that experience extensive change may be considered chaotic. -the unpredictability and stress that resulted from constant change creates little opportunity for families to develop relationships and establish common meanings.
15. Feedback (positive and negative)Combining the cohesion and adaptability functions would create an axis that would look like this: Rigid Families Chaotic Families Low High Chaotic Some scholars believed that while families with low adaptability functions tend to be rigid, too much ability may result to a chaotic family because of the constant change that the family is experiencing. Disengaged Enmeshed COHESION ADAPTABILITY Rigid
16. According to Galvin, most well-functioning families are found in the middle, and not near any of the extremes. Sometimes, however, families may tend to be in the extremes if undergoing a particularly stressful stage such as death of a member in order to cope with the circumstances. Different stages in a family life also predicts the position of the family in the axis. For example, an acting-out teenager may cause the shift of the nature of the family from a highly cohesive, low adaptability family to one with a lower cohesiveness and higher adaptability function. In the end, it is important to note that no single place in the axis is the better than the rest. To function effectively, every family is tasked to find the most suitable position in the axis depending on the situation they are into.
17. Primary Function DIALECTICAL INTERPLAY DIALECTIC Implies opposition, polarity and interconnection RELATIONAL DIALECTICS Refers to the both/and quality of relationships or the need for partners to simultaneously experience independence and connection or openness and privacy.
22. Verbal and non-verbal behaviors of the family members are, in part, determined by this imagistic view of this relationship with each other and with the external environment (Jones, 1982). A person's image of his or her family embodies what is expected from it, what is given to it, and how important it is (Hess and Handel).
23. If the persons involved hold different images of their relationships to each other, the differences will be reflected in communication patterns. If their images about each other is congruent and consistent over a period of time, a predictable pattern of communication may emerge where in both are comfortable with each other.
24.
25. Supporting Function Family Themes A pattern of feelings, motives, fantasies and conventionalized understandings grouped around a particular locus of concern, which has a particular form in the personalities of individual members (Hess and Handel, 11).
26.
27. “Who are we?” “What do we do about it?” “How do we invest our energies?”
28. We view them as STATEMENTS that ACTUALIZE VALUES and COLLECTIVE IDENTITY
41. Supporting Function Defines the system as an entity Permeable separation between its interior elements and its environment. Physical or psychological limits Family Boundaries
42. Why do set boundaries? Restrict members from certain physical and psychological forces Regulate access to people, places, ideas, and values
53. Supporting Function Of or having to do with the interaction of biological and social forces. Of or pertaining to social phenomena that are affected by social factors. Biosocial Issues
54.
55. Gender identity (gender roles) Authority and power Shaping and influencing children Children’s rights Biosocial Issues
