This document discusses several sociological frames for understanding the family, including as an economic unit, a site of gender and class politics, social reproduction, socialization, safety/domesticity, happiness/fulfillment, and personal choice. It outlines how the family has historically been a unit of economic production and wealth accumulation. It also addresses how care work is political and examines the family as a site of social reproduction beyond just having children. Finally, it briefly discusses cultural backlash to changing views of the family in the 1960s/70s and the rise of companionate marriage and delayed childbearing in the 1980s.

Grandparents as Parents
Here are some background statistics on the expanding US trend for grandparents to raise their grandchildren. I assembled the material for a class I taught in Dr. Susan Sered's course "United States Healthcare Landscapes", offered in Spring 2011 at Suffolk University.
Missing daddy: The Exclusion of Fathers from Mainstream Parenting Magazines
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the portrayal of fathers in popular parenting magazines. The study found that while portrayals were sometimes neutral or positive, over 50% of mentions of fathers were negative or depicted them in stereotypical roles such as bumbling assistants to mothers. Common negative portrayals included fathers being portrayed as lazy or incompetent compared to mothers. The study suggests parenting magazines should work to balance gender representation and portray fathers in a more equal light as capable parents on par with mothers.
Roles of grandparents and how they could
The document discusses the roles and impact of grandparents in various cultures and societies. It notes that grandparents in the US number over 56 million and can serve important roles such as caregivers, wisdom-givers, companions, and occasional rule-breakers. Grandparents are important for passing on cultural traditions and history to grandchildren. Their involvement in children's lives contributes to intergenerational bonding and impacts the future.

SOME MYTHS ABOUT THE FAMILY
Ask yourself the following questions:
■ Were families happier in the past than they are now?
■ Is marrying and having children the natural thing to do?
■ Are good families self-sufficient, whereas bad families rely on public assistance?
■ Is the family a bastion of love and support?
■ Should all of us strive to be as perfect as possible in our families?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you—like most Americans—believe some of the myths about marriage and the family. Most of these myths are dysfunctional, but some can be functional.
Myths Can Be Dysfunctional
Myths are dysfunctional when they have negative (though often unintended) consequences that disrupt a family. The myth of the perfect family can make us miserable. We may feel that there is something wrong with us if we don’t live up to some idealized image. Instead of accepting our current families, we might pressure our children to become what we want them to be or spend a lifetime waiting for our parents or in-laws to accept us. We may also become very critical of family members or withdraw emotionally because they don’t fit into a mythical mold.
Since you asked . . .
Do myths affect me and my family?
Myths can also divert our attention from widespread social problems that lead to family crises. If people blame themselves for the gap they perceive between image and reality, they may not recognize the external forces, such as social policies, that create difficulties on the individual level. For example, if we believe that only bad, sick, or maladjusted people beat their children, we will search for solutions at the individual level, such as counseling, support groups, and therapy. As you’ll see in later chapters, however, and as millions of Americans have experienced since 2008, numerous family crises come from large-scale problems such as racism, greedy corporate executives in financial industries, economic downturns, and unemployment.
Myths Can Be Functional
Not all myths are harmful. Some are functional because they bring people together and promote social solidarity (Guest, 1988). If myths give us hope that we can have a good marriage and family life, for example, we won’t give up at the first sign of problems. In this sense, myths can help us maintain emotional balance during crises.
Myths can also free us from guilt or shame. For instance, “We fell out of love” is a more face-saving explanation for getting a divorce than “I made a stupid mistake” or “I married an alcoholic.”
The same myth can be both functional and dysfunctional. Belief in the decline of the family has been functional in generating social policies (such as child-support legislation) that try to keep children of divorced families from sinking into poverty. But this same myth ...
Old American Families
The document discusses how the composition and expectations of the modern American family have changed from old-fashioned families. Modern families now include women in the workforce, stay-at-home fathers, adopted children, same-sex parents, and interracial couples. Gender roles have also shifted, with women now contributing financially and men helping more with household chores and childcare. While the structure of families has changed, both old-fashioned and modern American families remain united, caring, and mostly happy.
Sermon 02 14 2010
The document discusses generational diversity and how different generations have unique experiences, values, and perspectives that impact how they engage with the church. It profiles 6 generations - the G.I. Generation, Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Homelanders. Each generation is characterized by the historical events they experienced during their formative years and how they view work, family, and community involvement differently based on those experiences. Understanding these generational differences is important for churches to effectively minister to people of all ages.
Educated for Motherhood: natural instincts versus expert advice
Although motherhood is something that all women are ‘expected’ to do it is only considered ‘natural’ and ‘normal’ when achieved within the so-called ‘right’ sexual, social and economic circumstances. Similarly, mothering is often thought to be based on instinct but at the same time mothers-to-be and mothers are expected to listen to and follow expert opinion and advice. In this paper Gayle Letherby explores the pressures and tensions surrounding the, at times contradictory, expectations of women who mother.
Social institutions family kelly flanagan
The document discusses how societal institutions, including families, perpetuate traditional gender roles and expectations of masculinity and femininity. It explores how the nuclear family model became the ideal in the 1950s due to influences like mass media and television, yet has never reflected most Americans' lived experiences. While modern families and TV shows have increasingly shown more diverse family structures, social and economic policies still often favor the traditional gendered division of labor within families. The relationships between families and other institutions can perpetuate scripts that assign gendered personalities and behaviors.
Sc2218 lecture 5 (2011)
The document discusses the concept of kinship in anthropology. It defines kinship as the social and cultural interpretations of biological reproduction, including concepts like marriage and paternity. Kinship is a primary organizing principle in most societies. The document then discusses kinship structures among the Ju/'hoansi people and how kinship becomes less complex and important an organizing factor in industrial societies, with new institutions taking kinship's place. It ends by discussing new horizons for kinship with technological developments like surrogacy and sperm donation.

Presented by Joss French, Ph.D. and Kurt Love, Ph.D. at the annual meeting of American Educational Studies Association in Baltimore, MD on November 2, 2013Equality & Technology_Gregory_2018
This document summarizes key debates around equality and technology. It discusses how technologies are developed within social contexts, reflecting social values, and how they can exacerbate inequalities. Specific debates outlined include how context matters for technology use; the need for diverse perspectives in technology design; how technologies have social effects; and how technologies reflect the views of their creators. Examples discussed are an AI hiring tool that showed gender bias, risk assessment algorithms that displayed racial disparities, and how review platforms like Yelp may influence gentrification.
Equality and Technology_Gregory
This document discusses issues of equality and diversity in technology. It summarizes research showing lack of diversity in tech jobs and leadership which are still predominantly held by white men. Women and minorities face barriers at various stages from education through hiring and advancement. Implicit bias and discrimination are reflected in technologies like ride-sharing and home-sharing apps. Beyond diversity initiatives, fundamental changes are needed to culture and systems to increase inclusion and representation in the tech industry.
CAMRI_Academic_Anger_Twitter
1) The document discusses how academics use Twitter both professionally and personally, facing pressures to maintain a digital brand while also expressing anger about issues in academia.
2) It explores how social media extends academic work through unpaid digital labor like content creation and emotional labor, while also exacerbating issues like precarity and intense competition in universities.
3) While Twitter allows academics to find community and solidarity over shared struggles, it also exposes them to backlash, trolling, and lack of protection when expressing political views critical of racism, sexism, and labor issues. Collective action online may be more effective than individual outrage.

Methods will include surveys, interviews, observation and analysis of social media to explore how risk is experienced differently and the role of mutual aid among workers.
Digital Day of Ideas Keynote
This document summarizes Dr. Karen Gregory's presentation on conceptualizing digital sociology as a critical and interdisciplinary practice. It gives examples of current digital sociology work studying topics like the quantified self and how Facebook structures social relations. The document argues that digital sociology has a long history across various fields and that algorithms and technologies do not arrive neutrally, but are shaped by human and economic factors. It promotes digital sociology as a way to both study and help shape our increasingly digitized social world.
Data magick
The document summarizes the history and evolution of Tarot cards from their origins in 15th century Italy to their modern occult symbolism. It discusses how Antoine Court de Gébelin mistakenly linked the cards to ancient Egyptian wisdom in 1775. Éliphas Lévi further developed occult symbolism in the 1850s by connecting the major arcana to the Hebrew alphabet and Kabbalah. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1888 used Tarot in rituals for spiritual rebirth through creative visualization. Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Coleman Smith produced a popular deck in 1909 while Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris created an occult-focused deck in 1938-1943.

Protestant Ethic Annotations
Weber is analyzing Benjamin Franklin's writings on virtues like industry, frugality, and punctuality which emphasize earning and accumulating money. Weber argues this reflects an "ethos" or spirit of capitalism where life's main purpose becomes acquiring wealth through diligent work. While greed has always existed, Weber asserts this Protestant work ethic was crucial for capitalism's development by motivating behaviors that increased profits. It conflicted with traditional views but was embraced by rising middle classes who saw work as a religious duty. This ethic helped overturn older systems where workers prioritized leisure, establishing competitive capitalism focused on low costs and high productivity.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaHow to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 3. What is a Family? You’re read and responded to Coontz and you’ve each had different and valid responses, so let’s take a few minutes to develop our own working definitions. Karen will record these and post to our course site. At the end of the course, we will revisit our “definitions.”
- 4. Sociological Frames The family as: An economic unit (Work, labor, and finances) As a site of gender & race & class politics (Care work & managing populations) As a site of “reproduction.” (Children & workers) As a site of socialization (The labor of parenting) As a site of “safety” or “domesticity” (contra “the factory) As as site of “happiness” or lack thereof As a site of “personal” fulfillment & choice
- 5. As Economic Unit Historically, the family has been a unit of economic production Family as “business” Family as site of labor Wealth Accumulation The transmission of wealth via genealogical lines This is true across class distinctions
- 6. Gender, Race & Class http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/02/timelin e-domestic-workers-invisible-history-america Care work is political work. Who cares for whom and why?
- 7. Site of Reproduction The family is endless site of worry with regards to “reproduction.” Does this just mean babies? What is “social reproduction”? Marx &Engles “The Origin of the Family” Feminist Marxist work of 1970s Silvia Federici, Wages for Housework
- 8. Socialization How are parents charged with the socialization of children? How is such parenting “policed”?
- 9. “Haven in a Heartless World” With the rise of Industrial Capitalism (What is this?) the spheres of WORK and HOME are separated. Compare this with the family in an agricultural society? The HOME becomes associated with a place free from the cares of the WORKPLACE… but…
- 11. Cultural Backlash 1960’s & 1970s Feminist Study of the family 1963 Betty Friedan “The Feminist Mystique” "The problem lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning [that is, a longing] that women suffered in the middle of the 20th century in the United States. Each suburban [house]wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries … she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question — 'Is this all?
- 12. Personal Choice 1980s: Divorce becomes public issue. The rise of the companionate form of marriage. (Define) Delayed childbearing (education, social class here)
