What Is The Role Of The Family For The Individual And Society?
Übersicht
What is the family actually for? It feels like a natural part of life, yet sociologists have argued fiercely about whether it serves everyone or only some people. Functionalists see a warm institution that meets society's deepest needs. Marxists see a quiet servant of the rich. Feminists see an arrangement that has long worked men's comfort out of women's unpaid labour. Three sharply different answers to one simple question.
This note teaches you to argue all three. You will learn the functions the family performs for the individual and for society, how those functions have changed over time, and how Functionalism, Marxism and Feminism each explain (or attack) them, with the standard criticisms of each. You will also master conjugal roles and the domestic division of labour, the evidence on who really does the housework, and the named studies CIE expects. By the end you will be able to reach the balanced judgement that wins the highest marks.
