  • Slide 1: A narrative discussing how the family has changed over time? Explicitly note what changes have occurred.
  • Slide 2: Visual depictions of what the “typical” family used to look like. You are welcomed to use a range of media resources.
  • Slide 3: Visual depictions of what the “typical” family looks like now. (i.e., how do you perceive or define the typical family, how does society perceive or define the typical family, etc.) You are welcomed to use a range of media resources.
  • Slide 4: A narrative discussing and analyzing the individual factors that have contributed to the changing family. (See your textbook. You may use external resources as well.)
  • Slide 5: A narrative discussing and analyzing the systemic or structural factors that have contributed to the changing family over time. (See your textbook. You may use external resources as well.)

You have reached the end of this module on The Family. The key takeaways from this module are:

  • The different types of marriages are monogamy, serial monogamy, polygamy, polygyny, and polyandry.
  • Kindred refers to the state of being related to others and is not completely based on biological or marital ties.
  • Different types of descent are bilateral descent, matrilineal descent, and patrilineal descent.
  • Patriarchy, matriarchy, and egalitarian are the form of societies that exist around us.
  • The three sociological perspectives on family are interactionist, conflict, and functionalist views.
  • There exist social, racial, and ethnic differences when classifying a family and hence they are categorized as upper, middle, and working class family.

creating family rituals, sociology discussion

/in /by

 
Guideline This assignment challenges you to create family rituals regarding: (1) Weddings (2) Divorces (3) Blending stepfamilies In our society, we spend a great deal of time, energy, and money on our rituals regarding weddings, so this aspect of the assignment will probably be the easiest ritual for you to describe. Design your own wedding ceremony, complete with all the music and songs, readings, ritual words of the officiate, sermon or homily, vows, various symbolic acts etc. Be sure to incorporate any important religious or cultural traditions. Be creative as you craft ritual words and acts to express the meanings and values important to you which you have discovered during the course. If you are already married, you can explain the rituals you chose when you got married and why you chose them. No one on their wedding day plans to get divorced or get remarried in the future. However, we know that this is a reality that many individuals will face. Research indicates that, in part, some of why divorced individuals and stepfamilies struggle is because of our society’s lack of rituals regarding these processes. So, based on the research, what would be your recommended rituals regarding the process of (1) divorce and (2) blending a new stepfamily. Remember to provide as much depth and detail as you did for the wedding ceremony. Identify 3 – 5 concepts from the text. Your response should be approximately 1 – 3 pages. You may post your response directly into a textbox on Discussion Board or attach a Word document to Discussion Board, whichever you prefer. When writing your response use descriptive, narrative prose. Do not simply list and answer questions. It is absolutely essential that students cite information from their textbook (or other resources) to support the research-based information provided in the pamphlet. Content that appears to be the opinion of students (and not cited material) will receive a poor grade. Search entries or author

Marriage and Family, sociology homework help

/in /by

Question Description

This chapter discloses information of marriage and family as an institution in society. One focal point is how the family system changes throughout the life course. Significant trends are covered in relationship with the roles, relationships, family choices, and problems that are faced by the American family. Although most of us have had a tremendous amount of experience in our family of orientation (the family we’re born into), we often are inexperienced or untrained for a family of procreation (the family that we create with our spouse). Think about the fact that we do not have any formal training on how to love. We don’t have a guide on how to make relationships work other than our family of orientation. Should we not have some type of training for this institution that is deemed as sacred? We live in a society where one out of every two marriages or half will end in divorce. Do you think this is high, or is it acceptable? Do you have a remedy for this problem? Search the web to answer the questions that were posed in the description of the chapter that I wrote. Give some insightful responses with hard resources to support them.

For your final project you will reflect on the question, “Who am I?” using the sociological imagination to understand and explain your everyday experiences. In doing so, you will look at the impact of social forces on your individual life. This requires you to apply the concepts, theories, and applicable sociological understandings that you have encountered in the course.
To successfully complete this assignment, you will write a paper with these components:

  • Introduction: Introduce yourself and what you plan on discussing in your paper.
