Family / Week13 / Kwon Ah Yeon



1. summary 

  There are many different kinds of networks of people called families. It is difficult to define a family correctly. In general, a family is a group of people who share their daily lives by forming relationships with family members, marriage, adoption and friendship.
  Members of the family have diversified over time. Family types are classified by the number of families that make up a family, their relationships, their types of living, their conjugal forms, etc. 
  The family performs various functions for personal growth and development, maintaining and developing society. It meets sexual needs, gives birth to children, and serves as a parent and socialization function. It also has economic and religious functions and functions for protection of family members. Marriage between brothers and sisters is banned in almost every society. Recently, many new types of families have emerged. They are single parents, cohabitation and gay couples.




2. What is interesting  

  It was interesting that in ancient Egypt and Hawaii, siblings were allowed to marry. Usually, neighboring marriages are banned in all countries. But the ancient Egyptian royal family was able to marry brothers and sisters, because they were able to concentrate their wealth and power on a family.


3. Discussion Point

  Among the functions of the family are the protection and safety of the family members. However, I wonder if this function is effective in this time of increasing domestic violence. This is because there are so many people who are more suffering and hurt from their family.

  1. It cannot be said that it is effective to perform the function of protection and safety at this time of increasing domestic violence. However, many people still feel safe and safe in their families. I think we should try to prevent domestic violence so that the role of safety and protection of family is well preserved.
