This document summarizes research on the effects of blended families. It discusses the differences between intact families and blended families, which include single-parent households, step-parent households, and variations involving half-siblings. Research has found blended families are more likely to experience conflict than intact families. Studies examined sibling relationships in blended families and found stepsiblings experienced less negativity than full or half siblings. Birth order was also studied, with firstborns and youngest children tending to develop different personality traits depending on their family position. The document emphasizes how parental influences shape children's development within family systems.
The document discusses different definitions and types of families. It defines a family as any group united by ties like marriage, blood, or adoption where adults support each other financially and emotionally and see their identities as attached to the group. It discusses myths that the nuclear family is the norm and families are declining, but families are adapting to changing economic and social expectations. Communication within families shapes gender identities as parents and siblings influence each other. The document also discusses domestic violence, engaged fatherhood, same-sex parenting, and raising transgender children as examples of diverse family structures today.
The document discusses definitions of the family from various sociological perspectives. It notes Murdock's (1949) definition of the family as a social group related by ancestry, marriage, or adoption that lives together and cooperates economically. Others see the family as a close-knit group that cares for one another. Essentially, sociologists view the family as both a pattern of behaviors and set of cultural expectations. The document explores different types of families and living arrangements over time.
This study examines factors that influence family size, specifically analyzing the relationship between number of siblings, income, education, and number of offspring. The author hypothesizes that individuals from families with more children (and thus fewer resources per child) will likely achieve lower incomes and education, and have more children of their own due to lacking the same opportunities. The study will use survey data to analyze correlations between these variables and test the "resource investment theory" which proposes that splitting resources among more children influences future outcomes. If supported, the theory suggests that coming from a larger family can perpetuate having larger families over generations.
Same-sex Marriage Lecture 3 - In a marriage redefined country heterosexuals f...FamilyMan2
Redefining marriage brings about social change. A small part of this change is positive, but it also brings about a lot of negative social outcomes too. In this lecture, we look at how, in a marriage redefined culture, it becomes ever harder for heterosexuals to understand that marriage is primarily about giving their biological children the best possible start in life. Thus more heterosexuals won't marry in order to protect their children and more will divorce. This being so then more children will suffer and future society goes even more into decay.
The fatherless epidemic: Rediscovering fatherhood’s EdenDr. Debi Smith
The document discusses the impacts of fatherlessness on children and society. It notes that 40% of American children live in fatherless homes and that fatherlessness is a strong predictor of issues like child poverty, crime, suicide, and emotional/behavioral problems. The document also examines the roles of different types of fathers like alcoholic, abusive, and physically absent fathers and the negative impacts they can have on children's development.
This document discusses the negative impacts that growing up without a father can have on children. It states that children with absent biological fathers are at higher risk for things like teen pregnancy, lower educational attainment, and unstable future relationships. The document also shares statistics showing links between father absence and higher rates of drug use in children. A personal story is given of a mother who raised five children alone and struggled with depression due to the burden. The conclusion calls for parents, friends, teachers and society to provide more support to fatherless children and make changes to help children grow up happily with both parents whenever possible.
The document discusses definitions of family and marriage across cultures. It notes that while family and marriage are universal concepts, the specific definitions vary widely by culture. The sociological definition of family is broad and includes those related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Similarly, marriage is broadly defined as a group's approved mating arrangement, usually marked by ritual. The document then examines various types of families, cultural themes around marriage and descent, and functionalist and conflict perspectives on the family.

Chapter 11 - The Joy and Responsibility of Parenting v2Mercedes Gonzalez
This lesson will:
• Show the value of living in 3-generational families.
• Use published, peer-reviewed, sociological studies to demonstrate some of the significant and positive results of the intact married family structure.
• Point out that the primary responsibilities of the leaders of government, religion and culture are to prepare young people for family-building, i.e. for marriage and parenting.
This document discusses same sex parents and research on children raised by them. It begins by stating that homosexuality is not hereditary or something that can change sexual orientation. Studies have shown children of same sex parents do not have more psychological problems than other family structures. Approximately 1-2 million children in the US have a lesbian or gay parent. Same sex parents are more likely to adopt or foster children compared to heterosexual couples. Research indicates children of same sex parents have normal development and adjustment, and parenting ability is not related to sexual orientation. The document provides resources for same sex parents and educators.
Over the past 30 years, there has been a significant increase in lone-parent families in the UK. Children living with just their mother has risen from 6% to 21%, while those living with just their father has increased from 1% to 2%. This is due to higher rates of divorce and children being born outside of marriage. Some argue that lone-parent families can increase crime and housing costs. However, evidence suggests children from these families are no more likely to commit crimes. The experience of being a lone parent can vary greatly depending on one's class, age, gender, and ethnicity.
The document argues that same-sex couples should not adopt children for three main reasons. It states that children need role models of both a father and mother for complete development. It also argues that growing up with same-sex parents could distort a child's view of sexuality and affect their sexual orientation. Finally, it claims that the traditional family structure of a married mother and father provides the social morals necessary for societal stability.
The document discusses the definition and nature of marriage and family. It defines marriage as a social institution that establishes the family unit and regulates sexual behavior. The family provides for children's socialization and needs. Marriage involves legal, religious, social, and personal aspects. The document also discusses theories of the family, types of family structures, factors in choosing a marriage partner, and norms regarding marriage and family across cultures.
This document outlines the importance of father presence in children's lives and strategies to support fathers. It discusses how father absence has increased in recent decades due to cultural and social factors. Children from fatherless homes are much more likely to experience negative outcomes such as dropping out of school, committing crimes, or being incarcerated. While some fathers remain connected due to supportive relationships and resources, others face barriers like lack of housing, legal issues, or shame. The document proposes solutions like fatherhood programs and conferences to help reconcile fathers with their children and support positive co-parenting.
The document discusses different types of families. It begins by defining the family as the most basic social group, usually consisting of parents and children. It then examines definitions of the family from various scholars. Key characteristics of families mentioned include mating relationships, marriage, shared living arrangements, and economic cooperation. The functions of families are categorized as essential (satisfying sexual needs, childbearing and rearing) and non-essential (economic, religious, educational roles). The document also describes types of families based on authority structure, residence patterns, marriage, and ancestry. Joint families are defined as multi-generational families that share property and live together. Nuclear and blended families are also briefly outlined.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated interventions to promote father engagement for low-income families. The study randomly assigned 289 couples to one of three conditions: father-focused groups, couple-focused groups, or an informational meeting. Compared to the informational meeting group, the intervention groups showed positive effects on father engagement, couple relationships, and children's behaviors. Participants in the couple-focused groups showed more consistent, long-lasting benefits than those in father-only groups. The effects were similar across family structures, income levels, and ethnicities.
Effects of Children's Gender in Marital InstabilityColleen Beasley
This document discusses research on whether the gender of a child affects the stability of a marriage and the risk of divorce. Several studies have found higher rates of divorce in families with daughters compared to sons. Factors that may contribute to this include stronger father-daughter bonds providing more marital stability, and mothers potentially leaving marriages to protect daughters from perceived bad fathers. However, the causes are complex with many social and cultural influences involved. While statistics show divorce risks linked to child gender, the underlying reasons for this are still unclear.
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on the family. It defines the family, discusses how family structures have changed over time and varied across cultures, and examines trends in marriage and divorce rates in the United States. Key points include:
1) Sociologists view the family as both a pattern of behaviors and set of cultural expectations. The family is the basic social unit and provides economic cooperation and care for children.
2) Family structures have changed with different eras - hunter-gatherer families differed from agricultural or industrial families. In modern times, roles of men and women have evolved.
3) Marriage and divorce rates in the US peaked in the 1960s and have declined or leveled off since
The document discusses skills and characteristics of healthy relationships and families. It provides information on different types of families and their functions. Some key aspects of strong families highlighted include showing appreciation, affection, commitment through quality time together, creative problem solving, and open communication. The document suggests these traits can help one create a strong family in the future and lead to healthy relationships outside the family as well.
The document discusses how Columbus, Ohio has become a midwestern hub for the LGBTQ community. It notes that the gay population first began revitalizing in neighborhoods like German Village and has since spread throughout the city. Columbus celebrates pride events like the Pride Festival and Parade as well as other festivals that embrace diversity and support LGBTQ businesses. The city works to promote progressive values of inclusiveness.
This document summarizes research on the stressors faced by grandparents raising grandchildren. It discusses how the number of grandparents taking on this role has increased significantly. The main stressors identified are health problems experienced by grandparents and the effects on their social lives and senior years. Research shows grandparents caring for grandchildren over 9 hours a week have an increased risk of heart disease over time. The ABC-X model of family stress is applied and provides a framework for understanding how ambiguous stressors like taking on the grandparent role affects family resources and leads to crisis without means to quickly adapt. More research on long term effects and solutions is needed.
The document discusses several factors that can negatively impact marriages and potentially lead to divorce. These include adultery, financial problems between spouses, work stress from demanding jobs, and undiagnosed depression which can cause mood swings and detachment from family. Addressing the underlying issues through open communication between spouses and seeking help from professionals like counselors or financial advisors is important to strengthening marriages.
Final Paper Grandparents Raising Grandchildren in ShreveportLish'a Bond Reed
- Grandparents raising grandchildren is an increasing phenomenon worldwide, including in the US and Louisiana, often due to issues like substance abuse, incarceration, or financial hardship.
- Both grandchildren and grandparents in these situations face increased risks to their health, including psychological, social, and physical issues. Grandparents are challenged by things like lack of resources and differences in activity levels with their grandchildren.
- This study interviewed 15 grandparent caregivers in Shreveport, LA to understand their challenges and needed resources, finding a lack of awareness of available services and needs for things like financial assistance, clothing, and support groups. Information on local resources was provided to help address these needs.
Cross Curtural Understanding : family valuesSila Chaniago
This document discusses family values in American culture. It notes that American families traditionally value independence and individualism. Children are often given their own rooms from a young age and are taught responsibility. Many young adults leave home between 18-21 to begin independent lives, and parents do not typically arrange marriages. Elderly family members may be supported by social programs instead of family. While nuclear families are common, some extended families remain close-knit through shared religious or ethnic backgrounds.
Edward Westermark. “Marriage is a relation of one or more men to one or more women which is recognised by custom or law and involves certain rights and duties both in the case of the parties entering the union and in the case of the children born of it.
As B. Malinowski defines, “Marriage is a contract for the production and maintenance of children”.
According H.M. Johnson, “Marriage is a stable relationship in which a man and a woman are socially permitted without loss of standing in community, to have children”.
Ira L. Reiss writes, “Marriage is a socially accepted union of individuals in husband and wife roles, with the key function of legitimating of parenthood”.
The document discusses different types of families and marriages. It defines terms like nuclear family, extended family, polygyny, polyandry, and exogamy. It also covers family structures and relationships, including patriarchy, matriarchy, and egalitarian relationships. The document then discusses family life cycles, trends in modern families like cohabitation and single parenthood, and challenges like divorce and domestic violence.
The document discusses how family influences gender roles. It notes that children begin developing their gender identity between ages 2-3 and learn gender roles through observing their family. Gender roles are defined by the social and cultural norms of society. The family plays a key role in socializing children into gender roles through parental modeling and parent-child interactions. While media historically portrayed the nuclear family as the norm, modern media now shows more diverse family structures. The document examines how various social institutions like politics, work, religion, and media intersect with and influence the family system.
This presentation was made in late 2011, and serves as an introductory and generic instruction on the benefits that housing brings to the American household and to the general economy as well. It was presented to a resource management class within the College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia.
Housing is designed to meet both physical and psychological needs by providing protection from the elements, a place to sleep and prepare food, and a sense of identity, belonging, and creativity. Housing needs are influenced by life stage and factors such as personal/family needs, preferences, and financial resources. Common housing types include single-family homes, tract houses, custom homes, manufactured/modular homes, townhomes, condominiums, apartments, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.

This document discusses housing and homes in the Philippines. It notes that owning a home is a basic need and dream for many Filipino families. Shelter provides security, safety, and is a necessity. People build homes for several key reasons: to provide safety and security, to demonstrate economic status, and to develop a sense of identity and pride in ownership. The document then describes common types of homes in the Philippines and some housing problems related to overcrowding, lack of space, and poverty. It stresses the importance of homes providing comfort, relaxation, and being designed to enhance family life.

This document provides information on fruit tree production. It discusses the importance of fruit tree production, commonly grown fruit trees in the locality, and factors like water, soil, climate that affect plant growth. It also outlines proper seed germination techniques and ways to prevent and control pests and diseases, mentioning some common plant and tree pests. The goal is to educate youth on propagating fruit trees and plants to contribute to the local food sources in a sustainable way.
The nuclear family emerged in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution. It provides protection, companionship, and socialization, though its structure varies between societies. Today, only 48.4% of families fit the nuclear model according to CDC data. Gender roles form early in the nuclear family through socialization and gendered toys/activities. Television portrays idealized family models that families feel pressure to emulate, contributing to high divorce rates. How children develop gender identities is influenced by parental interactions and the emancipatory or traditional nature of their family.
This document provides an introduction to a course on family studies. It defines family in several ways, including as networks of people bound by ties like marriage, blood, or commitment. It discusses examining family from an ecosystem perspective, seeing the family as a complex system that interacts with its environment. Key concepts in human ecological theory are introduced, such as viewing the family as a semi-open, goal-directed, dynamic system that can respond to and modify its environment through adaptation. Different types of modern families are outlined, and changing demographics around marriage, divorce, and household composition in the US are summarized.
The document discusses family structures and the family life cycle. It describes the changing roles of families over time from focusing on survival to adapting to modern technology. It defines a family and outlines common family structures like two-parent, single-parent, stepfamilies, and foster families. The document also details the six stages of the family life cycle from beginning to aging. Key family functions across cultures are providing physical needs, education, love, and protection.
This document summarizes key aspects of diverse family types, including functions, parenting styles, father involvement, families in transition through divorce and blended families, poverty, homelessness, and programs that provide assistance. It defines family and describes stages in family life. It also discusses types of families like single-parent, immigrant, and families headed by grandparents.
Cross Culture Understanding (CCU) Family : Types and Traditions in AmericaAyu Retno Aditya
This document discusses different types of families and traditions in the United States. It covers topics such as newborns typically getting their own rooms, over 50% of young adults aged 18-24 living with their parents, senior citizens often living alone or socializing at centers, the importance of both nuclear and extended families, traditional gender roles with husbands working and wives raising children, high remarriage rates for divorced couples, and the diversity of modern families beyond just married couples with children.
This document provides an overview of marriage and family structures. It begins by introducing a hypothetical couple, Christina and James, who are unsure about marriage. It then defines marriage and family from sociological perspectives. The document discusses variations in modern families like cohabitation and same-sex couples. It also covers challenges faced by families such as divorce and abuse. Finally, it examines topics like residency patterns and lines of descent between cultures.

S2 Stephen Stacey - The value of marriage to society - 30 june 2014sillitoe
This document discusses the value of marriage to society. It argues that marriage provides the best environment for children to develop and brings the best outcomes on average. However, marriage is in decline in many societies due to a lack of support from institutions and a redefinition of marriage away from responsibility to children. To strengthen families and society, the document calls for supporting marriage through education, counseling programs, and policies that reinforce marriage as an institution focused on children's welfare.
The chapter discusses how family is an influential source of gender socialization. It explores how gender roles are largely taught through parental modeling and parent-child interactions in the family. While families differ, gender plays a significant role in how each family functions. The chapter also examines how societal institutions like media, politics, and religion influence families and help establish norms around gender, relationships, and the nuclear family model. Overall, the chapter suggests families are shaped by broader social and cultural forces while also helping to socialize children into gender roles and society's expectations.
The document discusses different family structures and the legacies families pass down. It describes various family structures including nuclear, extended, step, single-parent, adoptive, bi-racial, trans-racial, blended, conditionally separated, foster, gay/lesbian, immigrant, and migrant families. It also discusses the emotional, social, and spiritual legacies parents pass down to their children intentionally or unintentionally through their beliefs, stability, social skills, and spiritual upbringing. The document then discusses common myths about career planning and factors that influence career choices such as skills, interests, life roles, experiences, culture, gender, economic conditions, and childhood fantasies.

5. What is the Definition of a Family
5
According to governing principles of the
universe, all things exist in
complementary pairs, as an initiating
subject and responsive object, thus
continuing the existence of all life.
When a family is comprised of a male husband and female wife
they reflect the duality of the universe.
Male and female children are meant to emulate the original
blueprint as modeled by their parents. They can then freely
inherit the characteristics of either masculinity or femininity
centered on principled love.

“The family is a microcosm of the universe with the same matrix
design.
The human family is based on the same cosmic structure, a
father sun, a mother moon and a child earth. Family is the divine
principle and as the highest sacred structure in the universe.”
Dr. Levy MB Daugherty
7. 7
The family is where you put down your first roots, where you form
your most lasting impressions, where you put together the building
blocks of your character, and where you determine whether you will
view life through the eyes of prejudice or acceptance. Family is where
you learn to laugh and where you are allowed to weep without losing
respect. Family is where you learn how to share, how to relate, and how
to treat other people.

Family is where you learn how to
interpret your surroundings correctly.
It is where you discover how to draw
the line between right and wrong, and
the family defines principle behavior
for the whole.

Dysfunctional families blur that line, and boundaries
become unclear. Solid, secure families have a clear view
of the difference so that its members have little ethical
confusion. Moral dilemmas will challenge us, but if we
come from a family of healthy principles , we are seldom
unclear about what is right or wrong.

Everyone stands in the position of
number 7 when they are born. The
number 7 transforms spouses into
parents and in-laws into
grandparents. An eternal lineage is
formed through birth and adoption.
Without such family units the
population will dwindle and
eventually become extinct. The
family unit is a universal design
principle.
Life begins with intimate love between a man and a woman
which creates the number seven in this diagram. This
becomes the most important number in the family to
guarantee the continuation of the clan and lineage.

This is why the number seven within the
family unit is so important. The number
seven transforms six individual people
into one family unit.
When a man and woman marry they refer to each other’s parents as “in-
laws”. The entire family relationship is based on marriage rather than
blood linage at this point. When said couple has a child, the parents of
the couple suddenly become grandparents. There is no such term as
“grandparents-in-law” because the child transforms the family into a
family based on blood ties.

declining while other types of
families are on the increase.

Higher Consciousness of Love
and Integrity
Sibling consciousness of love is the
foundation for an altruistic society.
Spousal consciousness of love is a love
which lives for the sake of each other.
The highest consciousness of love is
parents’ and grandparents’ love which is
unconditional eternal love
This structure is called the Four Position
Foundation which creates harmony, love, joy
and beauty that automatically continues to
recreate itself. This is a divine principle.

Our mission is to obtain 7 million signatures calling for a national
caucus to address the seriousness of the erosion of the traditional
family that our country faces. In the process of trying to get the “new
concept” of family culture accepted, we are leaving behind the value
of families with a male husband and female wife. Without this
traditional male/female relationship, the human race cannot sustain
itself, and our children, the leaders of tomorrow, may be in great
jeopardy.
20. • Families who practice these dynamics create a community that is
safe and empowering.
• This is a type of community where all parents want to raise their
children.
• The parents in these communities are committed to create a safe
environment with good schools, guaranteeing a society with
embracing, loving, nourishing attitudes and values.

will adapt to fit into whatever group will embrace them, even if it is
one of an unhealthy environment.
• Hence, it is vital for children to grow-up in a healthy family
environment with a strong identity centered on love.
• This is the reason adoption is so important. Children need love from
parents.

“A staggering 57 percent of modern families say that they are
either ‘making ends meet,’ ‘struggling financially,’ or ‘poor,’ a full
10 percentage points higher than their traditional family
counterparts.” (according to a study by the Allianz Insurance Co.)
Moreover, 49 percent of nontraditional families say that they live
paycheck to paycheck versus 41 percent of traditional families,
and 25 percent are not saving any money at all.

23. Divorce Devastation

“The Taxpayers Cost of Divorce and Unwed Childbearing: First-
Ever Estimates for the Nation and All Fifty States.” This more
comprehensive report conservatively estimated that family
fragmentation costs taxpayers a minimum of $112 billion annually.
Source: http://familyinamerica.org/journals/fall-2009/counting-cost-
divorce-what-those-who-know-better-rarely-acknowledge
Studies show that during a divorce the children
suffer the greatest devastation. Not only can this be
an economic stress, but an emotional instability that
is reflected in their everyday lives. Even though
divorce may be justified by an unsolvable situation,
a marriage between a man and a woman must be
based on an unselfish love (living for the sake of
others).
The attraction of love, courtship, marriage and family
must all be centered on the principle of integrity or
unselfish love.
What about me
24. 25
Stabilization of a family is represented by
the children resulting from a marriage.
Note that after a divorce where there are
no children, the family is disolved and in-
laws are no longer in-laws.
However, when there are children, there is
an eternal bond that cannot be broken.
The in-laws may no longer be in-laws, but
the divorced couples remain the father and
mother and the in-laws remain
grandparents.
Ultimately, society carries the burden of
broken families. It is shown that both the
parents and the children of such families
may become economically and
emotionally unstable as well.

• The human family is the cornerstone of all civilization, creativity,
advancement and development of life.
• Human beings are the stewards of the environment.
• Society expect parents to educate their children about these
important values. Our academic system should be designed to
support parents in this endeavor from preschool through college.
• This also guarantees a financial base and advances the higher
level of living standards in society.
