The document summarizes the key members of the Henrickson polygamist family, which includes Bill, the husband, and his three wives Barb, Nicki, and Marge. It analyzes their family roles and communication patterns, which involve weekly family meetings, established hierarchies, and a consensual approach to decision making. The family keeps their polygamist lifestyle a secret to avoid public scrutiny, and they rely on religious beliefs and serving each other to remain a cohesive unit.

6 Family, Culture, and Self-Concept Development
A common characteristic among different societies and cultural groups is that children are born into families. Barring tragic circumstances, a newborn’s family usually consists of at least a birth mother. Often, families include other relatives such as fathers, possibly siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others. Cultural variation influences family structure across the globe, but a child’s entry into this world assuredly includes membership and involvement with some identified group. As Baldwin (1993) noted, “Even the most incorrigible maverick has to be born somewhere. He may leave the group that produced him—he may be forced to—but nothing will efface his origins, the marks of which he carries with him everywhere” (p. 10).
Each society and culture places particular importance and significance on unique family beliefs and traditions. Variation in family structure and traditional roles of mothers and fathers, as well as roles of extended family members, are as numerous as world cultures themselves. For example, the United States prides itself on “family values.” Yet, when compared with global cultures these values are often juxtaposed to other commonly held worldviews. As one example, Walsh (2003) explained, “In many cultures, it is still expected that a brother will marry the widow of a deceased husband” to carry on the family name and heritage (p. 11). Differences in aspects of childrearing also exist. Helms and Cook (1999) observed that psychodynamic theories of development used by professional counselors and other therapists rely on mostly individualistic views and “an invariant age-appropriate sequence of development” (p. 142). Furthermore, they noted that research across global cultures indicates many cultures “do not traverse the lifespan in the same manner” suggested by psychodynamic views and stage theories (p. 142). Two examples cited by Helms and Cook (1999) are reports from Chinese and West Indian graduate students that toilet training of children is not a major developmental issue as it sometimes appears in American culture, as well as information that some African newborns are weaned from breast feeding three months earlier than observed in typical Anglo-American families (Triandis, 1994). Consequently, what many Americans often perceive as “normal” in their view of family structure and function is different from what other cultures and societies might accept. Likewise, what other cultures accept as normal in family descriptions and processes vary as much as the number of cultures observed across the globe.

The Family
Although the definition of family has changed over the time, the functions of family remain the same
Family is the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they are the ones who show up stay in their regardless. It is not just about blood or split of genes, but something much, bigger. However, everyone has their own meaning of family. The ones who shared common characteristics that changed over the time or the ones who has varieties of settings and functions. According to dictionary of sociology family “It consist of more than one person that forms the most intimate and personal groups,” in which people are related to one another by bonds of blood, sexual mating or legal ties like the conjugal family. Sociology Through Literature Lewis Coser points out, “family is among the few universal institutions of mankind” (147). In the article, “The America Family: Where We Are Today,” Stephanie Coontz remarks, that people in the United States today have higher expectations of parenting and marriage. But, while I was searching and reading all texts written about family, I agree with everyone based in the constant change and the set of factors that contributes the transformation in what is family these days. To be aware of more about the sequence of alteration on families I will discuss some issues regarding their different roles, conflicts and solutions.
Scientific studies showed that family born in the mid-nineteenth centuries takes an institutional form in the society that is traditional. In which the family is subjected to the economy and becomes a productive company, where does not export goods or merchandize but consumes food, housing, health and many other things. However, family is being affected by

inflation and joblessness forming an imbalance in the ones who maintain the house and those who contribute to it; whether parents, children or relatives. As a result, for some families means to stop doing things that were used to do before like going on vacation or eating out. Also, could implicate to use their savings like emergency funds, retirement funds or educational funds. Mean while, for other families means to move to a smaller or less expensive house or just to look for a second job. But instead of finding a solution many families don't know how to handle the situation and tends to discuss more as they worries about trying to solve the problem. Therefore, it is very important communication between all members of the household to improve their needs. However, the financial responsibility sometimes lies in a single member of the house.
Focused on a moralistic perspective where the family subordination was the wife to the husband on her role as companion and mother. “In ancient times, for example, a marriage meant a condition in which a woman was given to a man almost as property” (The Marriage). In which, the fami ...

Religious Conservatism and Women’s Market
Behavior Following Marriage and Childbirth
This study explores the effect of religious con-
servatism on the labor force behavior of women
who marry or add a new child to their house-
hold, using the 1988 – 1993 National Survey of
Families and Households (N ¼ 3,494). We
model changes in labor supply, occupation, and
wages as a function of either conservative
denominational membership or conservative
religious belief, holding other economic and
demographic characteristics constant. Among
Whites, conservative denomination did decrease
labor supply following marriage or a marital
birth, whereas conservative religious beliefs
had larger influences on occupation choice and
wages. Among Blacks, conservative denomina-
tion increased labor supply following marital
births, but neither denomination nor belief
affected occupation or wage growth. Results
show the significance of religious ideology for
understanding continuing gender inequality.
Because the obligations of mothers to support
their children financially have been increasing
over time, women’s decisions to limit their
market involvement after forming families carry
significant financial penalties for their families
and for themselves later in life, and are an impor-
tant source of continuing gender inequality in
earnings and workplace authority (Folbre,
2001; U.S. General Accounting Office, 2003;
Williams, 2000). Yet, many women continue to
do so, some because of structural barriers to
employment (lack of education, access to quality
child care, transportation, etc.) but others for
ideological reasons whose persistence across co-
horts is not yet clearly understood (Hays, 1996).
Abundant research has established that women’s
ideological beliefs about the effects of mother’s
employment and nonmaternal child care on chil-
dren and families are important determinants of
labor force withdrawals following childbirth
and planned domesticity in adulthood (Desai &
Waite, 1991; Glass & Riley, 1997; Hakim,
2002; Rosenfeld & Trappe, 1996), even after
controlling for partner’s income and class.
Although social influences on individuals’
gender ideology may come from a variety of
sources, religious institutions serve as impor-
tant transmitters of information about how to
organize and conduct family life and child-
rearing. Conservative religious groups, in par-
ticular, promote a traditional family structure
in which married women concentrate on home-
making rather than career attainment, especially
when their children are young (Bartkowski,
1999; Sherkat, 2000; Smith, 2000). These
groups have been growing in size and influence
(see Brooks, 2002; Hout, Greeley, & Wilde,
2001) despite or perhaps because of the concom-
itant growth in mothers’ obligations to support
their children financially. Woodberry and Smith
(1998) estimate that conservative Protestants

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. “BIG LOVE” FAMILY FORMATION
Bill – Husband to Barb, Nicki and Marge. A
practicing polygamist, business man and
eventually a Republican Senator for Utah
Barb – The first wife and matriarch of the
family. Has three children with Bill. Allowed
him a second wife after having a
hysterectomy after a bout with cancer.
Nicki – Bill’s second wife, and was Barb’s
caretaker during her cancer treatment.
Also the daughter of the “cult” Pastor. Has
two children with Bill.
Marge – Bill’s third wife. Very young and
naïve; has three children with Bill.
4. “Consensual families are high in both conversation and conformity
strategies with their communication characterized by pressure for
agreement” (Galvin, Bylund and Brommel, 2012, p. 173).
TheHenricksonfamily relies on all wives and children to make equal contribution, and
also share the same values and attitudes, both religious and fundamental. These
observations indicate they're a Consensual family.
Bill is shared between the three women, and families, by a weekly schedule which
includes special occasions and holidays.
Barb is the matriarch of the family, often being asked by the other wives to talk to Bill
for them about certain things.
The wives have weekly meetings, during which they discuss the family finances,
Bill’s schedule and needs that must be met for the family.

5. ROLES AND COMMUNICATION PATTERNS
The Henrickson family is dealing
with a different kind of family
dynamic that makes communication
a tricky concept, but they execute it
exceptionally well.
“Within families, roles are
established, grown into, grown
through, discussed, negotiated,
worked on, and accepted or
rejected. As family members mature
or outside forces impact the family,
roles emerge, change, or
disappear” (Galvin,
Bylund&Brommel, 2012, p. 150).
There is a chain of command
between the wives which respects
the order in which they were
married.
Throughout the series, the wives
and family change as the children
grow and roles transform.
These changes bring select family
members closer and push some out.
6. SPECIFIC ROLE FUNCTIONS
“Family functions can be categorized as instrumental
(providing the resources for the family), affective
(support and nurturing, adult sexual needs), and mixed
(life-skill development and system upkeep)” (Galvin,
Bylund&Brommel, 2012, p. 151).
The wives fall into each of these categories quite well,
with a few crossovers.
Barb (First Wife) holds the instrumental function on her own
being the only wife with a job and essentially the head of the
household.
Nicki (Second Wife) does the shopping for the family, falling
into the instrumental category, as well as being in charge of
general upkeep of the family and life-skill development of the
children.
Marge (Third Wife) is definitely the nurturing wife for the
children, as well as Bill.
7. FAMILY SECRETS
The Henrickson’s are not publically polygamist. With Bill being
a public figure, they take great care in protecting their secret
to avoid scrutiny.
Though the primary function of this family’s secret is defense,
it also provides a bonding opportunity for the women.
8. “An image of ones family embodies what is expected from it,
what is given to it, and how important it is (Hess &Handel, 1959)”
(Galvn, Bylund&Brommel, 2012, p. 38).
The text gives multiple examples of images that can be used as a
metaphor for a family, but the most suiting for the Henrickson family
is the image of a hand.
The idea of the fingers (family members) being attached to the hand
(family) and serving each other is the most fitting.
The Henrickson family is brought together by a number of things, but
most importantly,
their religious belief of polygamy
and spreading God’s
gospel.
It is expected of the
wives to maintain the
household and be obedient
of their husband at all
times.
9. POWER, INFLUENCE & DECISION MAKING
“Decision making, like power, is a process that belongs to the
family system, not to an individual” (Galvin, Bylund&Brommel,
2012, p. 182).
The decision making process in the Henrickson family
involves a family meeting with the wives and Bill.
Occasionally the process is bypassed by Barb making a
decision on her own, either for her own benefit or because she
was asked by Nicki or Marge.
Nicki and Marge do not make their own decisions for the
family, even if it is solely for their own children.
