The document discusses gender roles within families. It begins by describing the traditional nuclear family model consisting of two opposite-sex parents with distinct gender roles. While this was portrayed as the social ideal, it did not historically predominate and divorce rates show many families diverge from this structure today. Gender roles within the nuclear family assigned women responsibility for domestic duties and caretaking while men earned income. These roles are still influential though evolving, and same-sex couples divide labor more equitably. Parents play a role in socializing children to conform with gender norms through their own behaviors and interactions. Communication patterns within relationships also reflect traditional power dynamics around gender. Overall, the document examines the historical influence and ongoing evolution of gender roles within families.
1) The document discusses a family, Sasha Beck Laxton and Kieran Cooper, who attempted to raise their child without gender stereotypes by withholding the child's sex. This received negative public response who viewed gender as binary.
2) It introduces two myths about families - that there is one normal family model and variations will hurt society. In reality, family structures are diverse.
3) Gender roles in families are socially constructed and families are organized by gender, with expectations of mother, father, and child roles. However, roles are becoming more balanced as views change.
The document discusses how family communication shapes children's understanding of gender. It notes that family is usually the first source of information about gender roles and one of the most influential. The "nuclear family" model of two opposite-gender parents and their biological children is examined, along with common gender stereotypes of women as homemakers and men as breadwinners. The document also looks at how other social institutions can reinforce these roles and how children observe and model their parents' behaviors from a young age.
The document discusses kinship systems among different cultures. It begins by defining kinship and explaining how kinship structures social relationships through cultural interpretations of biological reproduction. It then provides examples of kinship systems among the Ju/'hoansi people, including their complex rules around naming, marriage, residence and joking/avoidance relationships between relatives. The document contrasts patrilineal and patrilocal systems, which tend to be patriarchal, with matrilineal and matrilocal systems, which tend to be more egalitarian. It discusses how kinship systems influence gender roles, inheritance, and power dynamics within families and societies.
Rules of Descent: How Kin are Reckoned.PaulVMcDowell
This document discusses the key concepts of kinship and rules of descent. It covers two major types of descent - bilateral, which reckons kin through both the male and female lines, and unilineal, which traces kin through one line only, either male or female. Unilineal descent can be patrilineal, tracing the male line, or matrilineal, tracing the female line. Descent rules are important as they determine things like inheritance, property rights, and political affiliation. The document also briefly discusses constants of kinship like biological sex, death, and incest taboos.

This document discusses different types of kinship units and descent groups, including lineages, clans, and descent units. It describes demonstrated descent, which traces kinship through documented ancestors, versus stipulated descent, which assumes kinship without documentation. It also covers different types of marriage, including parallel and cross-cousin marriage, and how these alliances impact the formation of descent groups and social structures.

This document discusses kinship, marriage, and household structures in anthropology. It defines kinship as relationships based on blood or marriage ties that are recognized by society. Kinship can be traced through the father's line (patrilineal descent) or mother's line (matrilineal descent). Marriage is a social institution that establishes family relationships through practices like monogamy, polygamy, and different post-marital residence patterns. Household structures include nuclear families, extended families, and transnational families that live across countries. Kinship also influences politics in some societies through traditions like inherited political leadership positions within families.
A father is the male parent of a child and has paternal bonds as well as legal responsibilities. An adoptive father legally adopts a child, while a biological father is the genetic contributor through sexual intercourse or sperm donation. A biological father may still have obligations even if not raising the child, while a putative father's biological relationship has not been proven. A stepfather is married to the child's mother but may not have full parental rights. The terms 'father' and 'paternal' refer to the male parent biologically determining sex through X or Y chromosomes. Related terms of endearment include dad, baba, and pop.
This document discusses different types of kinship and descent systems including bilateral, unilineal, matrilineal and patrilineal descent. It also defines key kinship terminology such as affinity, which refers to relationships created through marriage. Additionally, it examines different household forms like the nuclear family, single parent households, and the impacts of divorce and remarriage on family structures.
This document discusses gender roles and communication within families. It defines family broadly and notes families are organized by gender. The "perfect nuclear family" is a myth consisting of married heterosexual parents filling traditional gender roles. Friendships and dating also follow gender scripts. While families are diverse, conservative politicians claim the nuclear family is declining. The document examines how parents shape their child's gender identity and the acceptance of same-sex parents and transgender children.
The family today " Declining or Changing"Monte Christo
This document discusses the changing definitions of family in the Philippines. It begins by defining traditional Filipino families as nuclear or extended units that emphasize close kinship ties. It then explores broader definitions used by organizations like the UN and Philippines census. The document also examines the functions of families and reasons why defining family structure is important. It outlines the Family Code of the Philippines and discusses issues like illegitimate children, adoption, cohabitation, and marriage. Emerging topics covered include domestic violence, annulment, divorce, arranged marriage, and remarriage. The document concludes by noting how families are changing in postmodern and digital societies.
The document discusses Filipino family structures and kinship terms. It describes the Filipino family as typically including immediate and extended family. The basic nuclear family consists of parents and children, while the extended family incorporates grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, and godparents. Kinship terms vary depending on relationships, age, and region. Siblings have specific terms according to birth order. The compadrazgo system further expands the extended family through religious godparent roles. Filipino families commonly practice bilateral descent and multigenerational living, unlike nuclear family structures in the West.
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 gender roles within families and how they influence society. Traditionally, females take on the homemaker role while males are the breadwinners, and these roles are passed down through generations. However, the concept of a nuclear family is increasingly outdated as many families today consist of single parents or blended families. While media still portrays the nuclear family as the norm, it places pressure on women's domestic roles. Gender roles constructed within families translate to societal expectations and influence other institutions. More progressive families are moving toward flexible gender roles that accommodate individual experiences.
This document contains key terms related to the sociology of the family, including types of families such as the nuclear family, views like the functionalist and Marxist views, and concepts like gender role socialization, patriarchy, and the division of domestic labor and care work. It also lists terms about demography, family diversity, changes in family structures over time, and roles within families.
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.
The document defines a family as a socioeconomic unit consisting of one or more parents and their children. A family provides physical support as children mature and teaches them the norms of society. It discusses the roles of a family of orientation, where individuals first learn social norms, and a family of procreation, which an individual creates upon marriage to perpetuate values learned in their first family.
This document discusses different types of families and kinship structures across societies. It covers nuclear families consisting of parents and children, extended families with multiple generations living together, matrifocal families centered around women, and patrifocal families centered around men. Descent can be traced through the father's line (patrilineal), the mother's line (matrilineal), or both parents' lines (bilateral). Kinship structures involve rules around marriage, residence after marriage, economic cooperation, and political and religious affiliation, with variations found between classes within stratified societies.
This document outlines different aspects of family and kinship structures across cultures. It discusses control of sexual relations through practices like marriage, incest taboos, and exogamy/endogamy. It also describes forms of marriage such as monogamy, polygamy, and group marriage. Additional topics covered include choice of spouse, family and household composition, residence patterns, descent groups that trace lineage matrilineally or patrilineally, and different kinship terminologies used among cultures like the Eskimo, Hawaiian, Iroquois, Crow, Omaha, and Sudanese.
This document defines and describes different types of kinship relationships including kinship by blood, kinship by marriage, and kinship by ritual. It also defines family and different types of family structures such as nuclear family, extended family, reconstituted family, and transnational family. Finally, it discusses political kinship and how kinship relations can extend to people with political affiliations through political dynasties and alliances.
The document discusses family diversity within Asian and Afro-Caribbean communities in the UK. It notes that immigration in the 1950s and 1960s led to significant populations from these communities. For Afro-Caribbean families, women are more likely to be lone parents or economically independent, with strong family support networks centered around the mother. Asian families often come from cultures with strong family ties and arranged marriages, but in the UK women can feel isolated while young Asian adults may be torn between tradition and individual choice. The document examines these differing family forms compared to the traditional nuclear family.
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.
This document discusses how family relationships are shaped by gender norms and expectations. It examines how gender roles are organized within families and passed down between generations. While media often portrays the nuclear family as the norm, in reality most families today are more diverse. The social construction of gender begins within family relationships in childhood and influences how individuals interact throughout their lives. Challenging preconceived gender biases could help create more flexible family structures.

It then describes common family types like nuclear, matrifocal, conjugal, blended, and extended families. It discusses the role of families in socializing children and how family structures have changed over time and vary across cultures. The document also covers kinship terminology, degrees of genetic relatedness between family members, and common family roles.
This document discusses kinship, marriage, and household structures. It defines kinship as relationships based on blood or marriage, and describes types like affinal and consanguineous kinship. Descent systems like patrilineal, matrilineal and bilineal are covered, as are forms of marriage like monogamy and polygamy. Different residence patterns for couples are provided. The document also discusses nuclear, extended, conditionally separated, transnational, and blended families as well as the concept of ritual kinship and compadrazgo. Finally, it provides an overview of kinship politics.
This document defines key concepts related to kinship, descent, and marital residence. It discusses bilateral descent groups, which recognize relationships through both the mother's and father's side. Lineages and clans are described as unilineal descent units that can trace their ancestry to a common ancestor. The main types of marital residence are also defined - patrilocality, where a couple lives with the groom's parents; matrilocality, where they live with the bride's parents; and avunculocal, where a boy lives with his mother's brother and his wife joins upon marriage.
Kinship refers to relationships based on blood or marriage found in all societies. Cultural anthropologists study kinship systems to understand how societies define and organize family relationships. There are various types of kinship systems including patrilineal, matrilineal, and cognatic descent groups which trace ancestry and inheritance through either the male or female line, or both. Kinship classification systems, like Hawaiian or Iroquois, categorize kin differently based on factors like sex, generation, and lineage.
This document defines key concepts related to kinship and family, including kinship, family, household, descent systems, marriage, and residence patterns. It discusses kinship as social relationships based on genealogical ties, and categorizes kinship as either consanguineous (by blood) or affinal (by marriage). The document outlines different systems of determining kinship such as unilineal, bilineal, and bilateral descent. It also defines types of marriages like monogamy, polygamy, and systems of post-marital residence.
This document appears to be an exam for a biology course that covers human genetics and diversity. It includes questions asking the student to build a model of genetic inheritance using their own family tree. The student is then asked to answer questions about biological diversity and the concepts of race and ethnicity based on their model. The document discusses how classifications of race and ethnicity have changed over time and vary between countries, suggesting they are social rather than biological constructs.
This document discusses the ideological transition where "gay" and "family" changed from being seen as mutually exclusive to describing a type of kinship. It explores how gay individuals have historically been viewed as rejecting family and kinship ties due to assumptions that they do not have children or lasting relationships. However, gay people have systematically claimed families of their own by developing the concept of "families we choose" comprising friends and partners rather than just biological relatives. The document examines debates around the relationship between kinship, procreation and sexuality, with some arguing blood ties alone constitute family while others believe enduring solidarity can form the basis for chosen familial relationships regardless of biology.
This document discusses different concepts related to families, including definitions of family, types of families, marriage, kinship, and theories of family. It defines family as cooperative groups that oversee childrearing. It outlines nuclear, extended, and other family types and discusses descent, authority, and residential patterns.

Different cultures have various rules regarding descent and inheritance that are determined by lineage through the mother's side (matrilineal) or the father's side (patrilineal). Family structures can include nuclear families, extended families, and blended families formed through marriage or cohabitation between partners who have children from previous relationships.
This document provides an overview of a lecture on kinship and families from an anthropology course. It discusses key concepts like what kinship is, how it is organized in societies, and examples of kinship structures from the Ju/'hoansi people. It also covers changing patterns of modern kinship with technological innovations and the implications of new reproductive technologies on concepts of kinship and family.
Kinship and family - introduction to AnthropologyMarion Breteau
Families provide comfort, identity, economic support, and childrearing across societies. Kinship is based on descent and marriage, but rules vary by culture regarding aspects like residence, lineage, and who can marry. Kinship terminology reflects these social structures. Scholars have studied incest prohibition, alliance theory, and how familiarity influences attraction to understand family dynamics universally and culturally. Kinship is dynamic as individuals may belong to multiple families over their lifetime.

Gender is a analytical category that is socially constructed to differentiate the biological difference between men and women. The term gender is also used to describe the differences in behaviour between men and women which are described as „masculine‟ and „feminine‟. Feminist writings focus on this aspect and claim that these differences are not biological but are social constructions of patriarchal society.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Kinship
Genetic kin:
• Biological kinship relationship on the basis of genetics
however, this bond is not always recognized: e.g.
bastards, children born out of wedlock
Kin without a genetic basis:
• Fictive kinship relationship on the basis of cultural norms
e.g. stepparents/children, adoptive parents/children
• Spiritual kinship relationship on the basis of a spiritual or religious
bond
e.g. godfather, godmother, godchild
• Milk kinship relationship on the basis of breastfeeding, between
mother and child, but also amongst siblings
• Kinship by marriage relationship on the basis of marriage
e.g. spouses (also same sex) and in-laws
• Kinship by polygamy relationship on the basis of polygamous marriage
e.g. co-spouses and co-spouses versus respective children

In anthropology, kinship is calculated referring to one central person, that is referred to
as ‘Ego’. Paul Bohannan (1963) distinguished eight possible (biological) relations to
Ego with which all other relationships within families can be reconstructed :
H(usband), W(ife), F(ather), M(other), S(on), D(aughter), B(rother), Z(sister).
In principle all genetic relationships can be mapped with this set of relationships. How
this works shall be shown in the following slides:

Ego might as well be a man… in this example it is a woman. Anthropologists
usually use a circle to depict a woman and a triangle to depict a man (Δ). Here we
have chosen to use pictograms. Marriage is indicated by ‘=’.

Although in Western societies we recognize relatives indicated with red as grandparents,
and relatives indicated with green as parents. This, however, is not in all cultures similar, as
we will demonstrate. Therefore, in anthropology, ‘grandparents’ are referred to as either FF,
FM, MF or MM. In the case the sex of a parent or grandparent is unknown, we can also use
P or PP (MP, PM, FP, PF) indicating ‘parent’.

Anthropologists use B and Z indicating biological brothers and sisters. Remark that
Z is used for ‘sister’, since S is claimed for ‘son’.
6. This presentation forms part of the website www.collective-action.info
Those indicated in English as Uncles and Aunts, are referred to by FB, FZ, MB
and MZ.

Here we see all relationships that would in English classify as ‘cousins’ of Ego. Again, this
might not held true outside Europe. Nevertheless, anthropologist do use the term cousins.
They split them up in two categories, the parallel cousins (related via FB or MZ) and the cross
cousins (related via MB or FZ). Parallel cousins are thus offspring of similar sex siblings,
cross cousins are offspring of opposite sex siblings.

Similarly, not all cultures identify ‘grandchildren’. Here DD, DS, SD or SS suffices to indicate
the relationship. In the case the sex of offspring is not known, it can be referred to as CC,
CD, CS, SC, DC, in which the ‘C’ stands for ‘child’.

The English ‘nieces and nephews’ can be labeled ZD, ZS, BD, BS, HZD, HZS, HBD, HBS.
Note that nieces and nephews of a spouse are in fact not biologically related to Ego.

So we have seen that in English, nieces and nephews, as well as uncles and aunts
related only through a spouse cannot be distinguished from genetic nieces, nephews,
uncles and aunts. However, those relationships are not genetic, but ‘fictive’. Relationships
with in-laws are also ‘fictive’. Both categories are included in kinship systems, since their
relationship can be traced through marriage (=).

Different kinship systems?
The way in which genetic relationships are classified might differ from culture to
culture. Therefore, Lewis Henry Morgan (1887) distinguished different kinship
systems:
• Hawaiian
• Sudanese
• Eskimo
• Iroquois
• Crow
• Omaha
Here we will demonstrate the consequences of having different kinship systems. We start
with a simple case, comparing the British and the Dutch kinship system. Although
both are classified ‘Eskimo’, we will see that they are slightly different.

British Kinship / Dutch Kinship, both ‘Eskimo’ kinship systems
In the Dutch kinship system, there is no difference between cousins, nieces and nephews.
Male cousins and nephews are called ‘neven’ and female cousins and nieces are called
‘nichten’.

The Eskimo versus the Iroquois kinship system
When we compare the ‘Eskimo’ kinship system of the English and the Dutch with
the ‘Iroquois’ kinship system of the West African Kel Tamacheq or Tuareg (here we use
the kinship terms used in Burkina Faso (cf. Bouman 2003), we see that their classifications
have huge implications for the categories most westerners believe to be universal:
• What westerners see as ‘grandparents’, Tuareg see as parents
• What westerners see as ‘grandchildren’, Tuareg see as children
• Parallel cousins are seen as siblings
• Only cross-cousins are seen as cousins
• FB and MZ are seen as parents
• MB and FZ are seen as uncles and aunts
The Iroquois system of the Tuareg thus produces a system with lesser ‘generations’, but
with much more parents, siblings and children:

Tuareg kinship
Preferred marriage Ego with either MB, MBS or FZS (see red lines). This marriage really ties
the knots; children of such marriages are related to their relatives in multiple ways.
15. This presentation forms part of the website www.collective-action.info
In Tuareg society Ego has:
• four fathers and five mothers
• one uncle - preferential spouse
• four daughters and four sons
• three brothers and three sisters
• four cousins (two male and two female) – male cousins preferential spouse
• one niece and one nephew
• several in-laws
This example demonstrates that the eight relationships (H, W, S, D, B, Z, M, F) are
helpful to avoid problems with multicultural interpretations.

The lines upward and downwards from ego are often important for affiliation and
inheritance. In anthropology they are described as:
• agnatic/patrilineal kinship - belonging only to one’s fathers’ line (red)
• uterine/matrilineal kinship - belonging only to one’s mothers’ line (bleu)
• cognatic/bilateral kinship - all related to ego in fathers’ and mothers’ line (red+blue+purple)

Genealogists use some further distinctions:
Upwards related Downwards related
Dutch: kwartierstaat Dutch: parenteel
English: ancestor tree English: descendant tree
