Summary
A family is usually a
parent, a brother, a sister, or a spouse. However, there are so many variations
in the family today that the basic concept of family is questioned. So, these
days, animals such as cats and dogs also accept the concept of family. In view
of this, families vary in form and function. The present state of the family
depends on the culture. The most common form in the Western world is monogamy,
and in other countries polygamy exists. Or they don't get married because of
their beliefs and religious beliefs. Also, the structure of the family changes
over time, with the emergence of a host society in an agricultural-based
society, marriage has changed to economic and political relationships. In
ancient Rome, a father-centered family structure was formed. Modern family
structures and marriages in the West have been rooted in Christian philosophy
and practice, leading to the emergence of nuclear families. There are also
inequalities in gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. These families develop anew,
and the latest trend to show the changing nature of the family is single-parent
families, cohabitation, or homosexuality.
2. What is interesting / what
did you learn
What was interesting was
about divorce. Many studies have been done on divorce, and most researchers
believe women are disadvantaged by the ease of divorce. They say that when
divorce is an option, women are reluctant to seek change in their marriage when
it can feel unstable. The change here refers to divorce and contrary to this
opinion, a Yodanis argued that the ease of divorce increases the equality of
women in their marriage. I think the appearance of today's society coincides
with that of Yodanis.

Discussion point
These
days, various types of families are occurring. So, do you think gay marriage
should be legalized? If legalized, what do you think about the adoption of a
child?
