Question

Choose two of the theoretical perspectives on the family, and discuss how you might use it to understand issues about life in your family orientation (born into) or family of procreation (family you make) or both.

Answer 1

I choose functionalism and conflict theoretical perspectives for use it to understand issues about life in your family orientation (born into) or family of procreation (family you make) or both.

In the functionalism theory tells about the stability in the society is important. The rapid change of the social norms is not good for the stability. For the understanding of family issues, the social stability is necessary.

Conflict theory tells about the inequality in many terms like gender, color, class etc. For the understanding of the family issues, we have to remove inequality like the gender inequality. In the family, we always seen the inequality between brother and sister or husband and wife. We also dont have to tease because of the colour complexion.

The both theoretical perspectives is the best way to understand the family issues.
