Week 13/ Family / Kim Jungah 김정아

 

1. Summary

Defining family could be difficult because our pets or people who are not actually related with us could be also family. Society accepts a various type of family form. Society also define that family are diverse in both form and function. Describing about family changes over time. As the horticultural or agricultural family have developed, the nature of family and marriage have changed. There are a lot of function about family. Family are useful because they reproduce society, and teach each other about socialization. Also they utilize marital privilege, right, and laws. 

Family are made because of marriage, and often kids are born between them and be raised by them. There are some research that single parent household tend to be poorer than others. There are lots of example in every world. Usually we think there are two parent in family, but it isnt. There could be one-parent household. Not only this, but there are lot of types of family because people can die in a moment, or kids could be born or parents could get divorce.

2. What did you learn?

In the old days, people who married others who are different in race, ethnicity, or religion was very low. But as the world become global, there are lots of people who marry people who have nothing to do with them.

3. Discussion

Compare to the old days, the number of getting divorce is getting larger. There could be lots of reason. I ofcourse agree about getting divorce if they are tired of each, but too many divorce could also influence in our society in a bad way.
