Why is it important for anthropologists to understand the kinship, descent, and family relationships that exist in the cultures they study? In what ways can family relationships structure the lives of individuals? 2. The terms “status” and “role” define the position of people within the family as well as the behaviors they are expected to perform. What are some of the statuses and roles found in families in your community? How have these changed over time? 3. In this chapter, Gilliland describes several different patterns of family organization including nuclear families, extended families, and joint families. While small nuclear families are common in the United States, larger families are common in many other societies. What do you think are some of the practical effects of both small and large families on everyday life? 1. Understanding family relationships in different cultures is important because it shapes the social structures they are studying; therefore, this determines roles and responsibilities within a family. Family relationships can influence economic and social status because they can determine one's eligibility for specific opportunities. Critical cultural practices can be understood by analyzing the complexities of family relationships. 2. Some statuses and roles found within families in my community are that the person with the higher income tends to have more say than the other spouse. In contrast, other relationships include working together to have a say on different matters. These relationships have changed over time because the men in a family usually had more authority in a family, while women were expected to care for and clean for their spouse and children. 3. Small families may experience flexibility in decision-making while having fewer costs than larger families. On the other hand, larger families can share responsibilities within their household.
