THE SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE: FAMILY *In society, family serves many functions and ideally gives children the socialization they need. *It helps provide emotional support as well as practical support for members of society. *It helps the members of society with their social identity and regulates their sexual reproduction. April Bashford The Sociological Perspective Introduction to Sociology SOC 101 September 9, 2023

FAMILIES AND HOUSEHOLDS  The primary function of the family is to biologically and socially reproduce society. This can be done through socialization and procreation. Families can be described in many different ways.  A family can include a married couple, a woman and her multiple cats, a group of nurses working the same shift in the hospital, a single woman with foster children, a gay or lesbian couple with an adoptive child, and even a group of college students living in the same living unit.  In society, the norms of what the laws are have changed over the years as to who can get married and who cannot. Typically a man and a woman were able to get married, but now women can marry women, men can marry men, and etc.

SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES  Sociological perspectives can include Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, Post Modernism, Late Modernism and the Personal Life Perspective.  The first three usually focus on the nuclear family in relation to social structure.  The final three typically focus on how families are becoming more diverse with social changes in recent years.

FUNCTIONALISM  Each part of the family structure and society components eventually combine as a whole.  Parents care and provide for the children, and in return the children later care and provide for the elderly parents.  Families focus on being a part of society by teaching the children the way of living and the children take these skills and become a bigger part of society putting them into place.  Each family member has a status role and contribute to the family as a whole and in society.
