The chapter introduces concepts about families and diversity. It discusses common myths about the idealized American family and contrasts these myths with realities. Families are more diverse than the stereotypical nuclear family model. A new framework called the structural diversity approach is presented to understand how families are shaped by social forces like class, race, gender and their interactions with other institutions. This approach recognizes that families vary historically and there is no single definition of a family.
This chapter discusses changing work patterns for women, men, and children. It notes that while only 20% of women were in the workforce in 1940, by 2006 59% of women aged 16 and older worked outside the home. This was largely due to economic necessity rather than liberation. The chapter also discusses the integration of work and family responsibilities and invisible unpaid family work. It analyzes causes for increased female labor force participation such as economic changes and personal fulfillment, as well as causes for decreased male participation like structural unemployment and declining real wages.
The chapter discusses emerging family forms including single adults, cohabitating couples, same-sex couples, and transnational families separated by distance. It notes declining marriage and household rates with children and rising rates of alternatives like cohabitation and single-person households. Factors like increased women's independence, education, and workforce participation as well as men's decreased participation are changing family dynamics globally.
The chapter discusses macro forces affecting families including the economy, immigration, and aging. It describes how globalization and new technologies have transformed the US economy from manufacturing to knowledge-based jobs. This has led to job insecurity, declining benefits, and a shrinking middle class. The recession further increased unemployment and economic instability. The chapter also outlines how immigration trends have increased diversity in the US as the majority of immigrants now come from Latin America and Asia rather than Europe. Immigrant families exhibit structural diversity and often include transnational families or "parachute children".
This document summarizes Chapter 7 of the book "Diversity in Families" which discusses the social construction of intimacy. The chapter covers topics like heterosexual courtship and mate selection, changing sexual behaviors, and same sex intimacy. It explains how intimacy and sexuality are shaped by societal forces and influenced by factors like gender, class, and race. It also discusses trends in dating practices, marriage, and sexuality over recent decades.
The chapter discusses how industrialization, immigration, and racial hierarchies historically shaped family diversity in the United States. Industrialization separated the home and workplace, creating conflict between women's domestic and social roles. Immigration provided crucial labor but families faced discrimination. Racial minorities experienced disrupted family life due to coerced labor systems like slavery and policies that undermined their status.
The chapter discusses the evolution of families from preindustrial to modern forms. In colonial America, families were typically nuclear, larger, and more patriarchal. They engaged in family-based agricultural work. With industrialization, families became smaller and more specialized in childrearing and home life. Work moved outside the home. The modern family emerged but varied by class, race, and other factors. Childhood also began to be viewed as a distinct life stage.

Faisal Imtiaz proposes a solution to address the problem of family break-ups and divorces in Pakistan. [1] The solution involves prevention through mass awareness campaigns about the importance of family bonding and minimizing incompatible marriages. [2] It also involves response through awareness campaigns to help accept and support children affected by divorce, and peer counseling in schools for these children and separated adults. [3] The aim is to help these individuals realize they are not alone and provide hope so the community no longer neglects them.
Person centered planning is the fulcrum idea behind services to people with disabilities, and yet it is often misunderstood - to the point where sometimes people refer to it as "the perversion of person centeredness" - one way to make it meaningful is to break it down into elements and break those down to see what means what and what might be done to make those parts mean more. This is a version of a presentation that was given at TASH 2013 and at Cornell University as part of their Citizen Centred Leadership webinar series.
