In a study conducted in rural China, where an emerging trend for leaving home in adolescence is challenging the environment an, ertig & Liu discuss their findings:
In summary, we found that (1) a person's tendency toward individualism is primarily impacted by his/her parents and perceived resource availability, with little impact from peers. This is somewhat inconsistent with findings in Western countries. (2) a person's attitudes towards leaving the parental home (an issue more specific than individualism) are primarily shaped by his/her tendency toward individualism, and perceived adverse effects. This conclusion is consistent with the findings of Gierveld et al. (1991). Parental attitude and behavior have insignificant impacts on adolescents' attitudes, while peers' behaviors have opposite influences on men and women. (3) a person's intention to leave the parental home and live independently is more complex, depending on both his/her preferences / attitudes and the perceived resource availability for so….

family life of the group, both before and after immigration to the United States. It explores specific family traditions, family values and family roles. The paper also highlights the relationships between age groups or genders.

In Kenya, it is a tradition for families join for end year celebrations. During this time, the family joins from various parts of the country travel to ongo; this is a time for family together; involving slaughter of animals. This is a time for celebrations and feasting.

They then give girls the Kid Kidneys, men and women share in a specially made sauce….

Today, however, that is not the case and Native American children are encouraged to become bilingual at young ages.
Children are currently encouraged to speak English however because of the many different language within the Native American race (NATIVE AMEICAN ELDELY (http://cas.umkc.edu/casww/natamers.htm).

Native Americans are a very heterogeneous group, made up of approximately 530 different tribes. Of these, 280 reside on reservations, which accounts for approximately 50% of Native Americans in the United States (Wise & Miller, 1983). eservation tribes differ between themselves, in customs, language, and family structure. In addition, Native Americans, in general, differ greatly in their degree of acculturation (NATIVE AMEICAN ELDELY (http://cas.umkc.edu/casww/natamers.htm)."

The Native American population currently promotes the early introduction of children to both English and their tribal language.

CONCLUSION

The Native American population has steadily held onto its traditions and cultures through two centuries of opposition. The children of Native Americans are raised in a dual world from….

Another inference Demos draws is that the distribution of land by newer townships to almost anyone who proposed to move in, as against the earlier plan to restrict land grants only to upright, religious-minded settlers, laid the foundation for cultural evolution through social mobility. In a similar vein, the prospect of new land served to disperse families with the younger generation either rejecting their modest inheritance to seek their fortunes elsewhere or being given land in a new township or frontier area. From these and other facts, Demos makes it evident that the Pilgrim families were keen to distinguish themselves along the lines of wealth and status, thereby laying the foundation for America to develop along the lines of heterogeneous immigrant groups, enterprise and individualism.
Demos's focus on cultural changes wrought by a new environment succeeds in highlighting the evolved status of women as well. Noting a trend towards an….

Communication Dynamics ithin a Family
Communication within the family

Communication plays an important role in all relationships and individuals are provided with the ability to observe its effectiveness from a young age, within the family. Many families have developed identities that are being transferred from generation to generation and have gotten actively involved in trying to improve communication channels. Communication within the family can be efficient because of many reasons, some of the most important being related to teaching children about socialization and establishing intimate relationships.

In order to be able to comprehend the degree to which communication improves a relationship, it would be important for someone to attempt to observe situations in which it is very poor or lacking altogether. Throughout society one can observe individuals complaining about poor communication between themselves and other people or groups. Parents often emphasize the fact that their communication with their children is very poor and….

technology has changed family life, according to authors Molitor and English-Lueck. Both authors believe technology has changed the family, and not always in the best ways. Technology has allowed families to remain in closer contact, with cell phones, e-mail, and computers, but it has blurred the lines between work and home life, and allows families to lead increasingly separate lives.
Author Molitor thinks technology has affected the family by changing the way they communicate. He writes, "Teens and fast-trackers everywhere wouldn't leave home these days without packing their mobile telecommunications device, whether it be telephone handset, personal communicator, or other gadget" (Monitor). Increasingly, families rely on these devices to "check-in" and manage their busy schedules, rather than coming together over something like a family dinner to communicate about the day. Often, families do not come together at all for days at a time, as English-Lueck notes. "They can now stay….

Understanding Life Stages and Developmental TasksIntroductionThe concept of life stages, stemming from the lifespan development theory, posits that every individual undergoes a series of sequential phases. These stages follow a structured progression and are characterized by distinct timeframes. Within each stage, individuals encounter specific developmental responsibilities called tasks. These tasks represent evolving obligations corresponding to particular phases in an individuals or familys life, arising from biological necessities, cultural expectations, and familial objectives (Gladding 2019).Completing these tasks is imperative for securing immediate contentment, social recognition, and future achievements. Failure to do so may result in discontent, societal disapproval, and complications in subsequent life stages. Its worth noting that life cycles have been devised for individuals and families, and given the interconnected nature of individuals and families, these life cycles frequently intersect and become intertwined (Gladding, 2019).Dr. Gladding delves into all facets of this subject in his comprehensive work on couples and….

Post Deployment on Family Life
It is stated in a Defense Watch document entitled "Post-Deployment Stressful for Many Veterans" that deployments are not only stressful for members of the armed forces but as well deployments are "also very stressful on the families who've had to create a daily routine without their deployed soldier." (Defense Watch, 2010) The spouse of the individual deployed naturally must take on many more responsibilities in the home including those related to "…finances, household repairs, disciplining of children, and other day-to-day activities." The result is that many spouses are overwhelmed by responsibility and this produces a great deal of "anxiety, stress, and occasionally, substance abuse." (Defense Watch, 2010) In contrast, the impact is quite the opposite with the spouse left behind thriving on the extra responsibility and at the time the deployed spouse returns home, the spouse who was left with all the responsibilities at home….

families today: Time management and the absence of free time
One of the most challenging issues facing modern families is the lack of time both parents and children have for leisure-based activities. Two-career households are increasingly common and parents are challenged with the need to balance longer work hours with their desire to spend quality time with their children. There is also often friction between the need to balance housework and work obligations between husbands and wives. It is estimated that only 19% of husbands perform housework on a daily basis, compared with 49% of wives. egarding dinner preparation, 43% of men prepare food or clean while 68% of women do so (Sifferlin 2014).

Children are far more likely to engage in scheduled activities than in the past. These pursuits require a greater time commitment on parents to take them from place to place. There is little ability for children to….

Families, Delinquency & Crime
The fundamental changes occurring to families in the 2st century can be classified into two different categories, depending on the internal or the external perspective that is used in the analysis. The external perspective proposes an analysis of the sociodemographic changes that have occurred to families under the impact of the external factors of the 2st century. The sociodemographic changes are characterized both by the numbers, by a quantitative reflection of families, and by the relationships that are formed within each family.

From the first perspective, the 2st century has imposed both changes in the number of families (some cultures, notably the Western ones, have encountered decreases in size because of an increased reluctance of individuals to get married) and in the formation of these family groups. As such, in many of these family groups, the norm has translated from a man-woman marriage as the basis of family….

As one commentator notes; "What this adds up to is, in my view, a significant shift in the balance of work and family life. oles are changing, the nature of care is changing, and the stress related to juggling the balance is increasing (Edgar, 1997, p. 149)
A number of statistics also help to outline the nature of the family structure in a developed economy like Australia. In terms of workforce participation, the figures are as follows: "….86% for fathers and 56% for mothers in two-parent families, and 65% for male and 43% for female sole parents"(Edgar, 1997, p.151). This is also indicative of a shift in the role of the female as solely a homemaker. "In 1993, 53% of couples with dependent children were both employed & #8230;" (Edgar, 1997, p. 151). Therefore, there are still imbalances and disparities in terms of the family structure and this is a….

d., pg. 67). Thus, the definition of the British family is almost wholly contained within a woman's decision. Women who have children and enter the workforce create new trends in British family life, such as the fact that children are cared for primarily by professionals working in the home, at nursery schools, or grandparents (Kathleen, n.d., "Family Life," 2009). The redefining of family relationships to give equality to both the husband and wife and the problem of finding childcare while both parents work is a result of women's entry into the workforce and modern conceptions of family life.
While these characteristics apply to the primary types of families in the United Kingdom, it is important to recognize that this state is diverse in terms of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, religion, etc. Cloud (2008) discusses the difficulties in conducting research for one often not-discussed portion of society -- homosexuals. Cloud (2008) writes….

Life in a Family
In On Going Home, the things that represent family for Didion is where the family is, she writes that, by "home" she is not referring to the place in Los Angeles where her husband and child live but where her family is. In addition, dust defines a significant part of their family life. Surfaces in their house are covered in dust and even when her husband wrote the words 'D-U-S-T' all over them, and no one noticed. She fittingly described her home as, "difficult, oblique, deliberately inarticulate…" The reader can see the families' obliqueness in the themes that the writer chooses to speak about with her brother (Didion 2). They start to speak about the people they know have been committed to mental hospitals or have been booked on drunk-driving charges.

Through the portrayal that Didion about her family life, her conservative nature is evident, she did not….

Family & Sociology of Marriage
The purpose and social function of marriage has changed. While marriage was once a binding declaration of commitment and love to another person of the opposite gender, avowed and proclaimed in a holy ceremony, today marriage has become a catch all; a legally binding contract between two people who, for any reason, can choose to end the marriage without stigma or difficulty. Today, half of marriages end in divorce (CDC, 2010). And yet, millions of people remain happily married in America. Why? How? What is it that enables some couples to remain not just married, but happily so? Sociologists have analyzed the social, cognitive, and emotional consequences and detriments to failed marriages on the family. esults seem to indicate that successful marriages are not successful by chance, but rather, the product of hard work, compromise and mutual respect. While these criteria do not guarantee a successful….
