treating her husband like a king. Although this is not severely observed in the modern times, it is still evident that the wife is under the husband. The authors added that with the transformation of Korea from an agricultural country into an industrialized country changed the views of the people towards family life. More and more women are using contraceptives thus, contributing to the declining birth rate of the country.

Tarroja 's Revisiting the Definition and Concept of Filipino Family: A Psychological Perspective analyzes the concept of Filipino family through a sociological perspective and psychological perspective. The idea of non-traditional families, the implications of different and other types of families as to how it will bring new challenges to Filipino psychologists was also discussed. Through a sociological perspective, Filipino families have high regard of close family ties. It was mentioned that a basic concept of a Filipino family is that parents provide for their children’s basic needs and in the future, the children will take care of their old parents. The author also highlighted that the nuclear family is the most common type of Filipino families that consist of two parents and their child/children. Understanding the concept of a Filipino family through a psychological perspective involves socio-political issues such as global and urban migration, violence, changing role of women, and etc. These issues affect the condition of Filipino families. Different studies from other researchers about how these issues affect Filipino families were tackled as well. The author gave focus to non-traditional families, such as single working mothers, disrupted families, adoptive families, and many more. Tarroja also included different studies from other researchers about the effect of non- traditional families to children and compared them to children that are in traditional families. The implications of these various types of families to Filipino psychologists are; that they should keep watch and follow the trend of these various types of Filipino families and they are highly encouraged to

Being whisked away to a strange prison for an attack you took no part in doesn’t seem like something the Great United States would do to someone. However, in late 1941 the Japanese-Americans are relocated from their homes to internment camps because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. In the book the reader gets an in-depth view of a family being relocated from their home in Barkley, California to the Topaz War Relocation Center in Central Utah. The reader easily sees the injustices the family suffers through the drastic changes in setting.
Moreover, this is because, “women are more likely to have a relational orientation than men” (Campos, Aquilera, Ullman, & Schetter, 2014, p. 192). Women are usually the ones that maintain the family bonds and benefit more of the closeness and support from the family. Nevertheless, women still feel more compromised of keeping the bond, and if an issue surges they are more likely to stress due to the conflict (Campos, Aquilera, Ullman, & Schetter, 2014). • Around the world, it appears familism is coming to an end. What are the economic, political and cultural implications of the changes underway in the traditional family unit?
The children may struggle without the presence of their mother, and the migrant women may tend to displace their love. These personal hardships are discussed within the introduction and the article "Care Crisis in the Philippines: Children and Transnational Families in the New Global Economy." In the introduction, we are told about Josephine, whose work as a nanny enables her employers to devote themselves to their careers and avocations. Josephine's case is an example of global inequality. Except for one two-month trip home, she has lived apart from her children in Sri Lanka for about ten years.
Main Analysis The varieties in family structure are exposed in the television series Parenthood. The small families within the Braverman family give relevant examples of the change. Each of the children in the show has their own unique support system. All families prove relevance to prior research conducted on the topic.
The adult males are encouraged to marry young women, procreate and increase their family size. Childbearing is highly recommended with relations between people of the same gender is discouraged since it goes against the past and even the present teachings of the Latino community (long, np). Couples are taught their roles and to respect each other in the marriage, which leads to low levels of divorce in such marriages. This can have a great effect if applied to the large American culture, where it can help in shaping the American social life especially the falling institution of
In Peruvian culture extended family is a very important aspect in the overall family organization. Extended family is invited to religious events such as baptisms for the family, weekly communion, confirmation. Special occasions such as birthdays and holidays also are hosted by extended family sometimes and often are contributors to family members. Allision’s father was the most dominant power within the family showing a household that is patriarchy. The mother was a caretaker of the children and household with the duties and responsibilities to keep the house clean, food available for the family and any needs the children needed.
The man is in charge of the house, and he is to be followed at all the times. The women are assigned to more menial jobs like sewing, gardening, cooking, and shopping. Women were very limited with how they could spend their days. The Filipino families are dependent on the father to be the bread winner. The mother is usually expected to stay at home and take care of the children even at the expense of her career.
SXU – 1003 – Understanding Society In what way can ‘traditional family’ be viewed as a myth Evidently, as decades have advanced, changing societies in and around the World have had impacts on the way we perceive the dynamics of family social life. Over the last couple of centuries, the overall impact on has lead us into thinking that significant changes could be due to the Global influences such as the World Wars, a changing demographic picture and the Industrial Revolution that driven us to the way we live not just in the UK, but also around the World.
Families can be regarded as the foundation of society. For Fleetwood (2012: 1), the importance of families is highlighted by the fact that it would be difficult to comprehend a society that could function without them. In addition, even though families and their compositions vary across societies and cultures, the family can be viewed as a universal social institution (Macionis & Plummer, 2012: 625. Specifically, according to Macionis and Plummer (2012: 625) and Neale (2000:1), it has the ability to unite individuals into cooperative groups via social bonds (kinship) and is ultimately experienced differently from individual to individual. However, the family can be a source of conflict, tension and inequality, which is why one of the key practices
Marriage is an important institution in a society and although there have been changes in the trend of marriage pattern, it is still very clear that marriage still matters. Marriage exists and its main aim is to bring two people together to form a union, where a man and a woman leave their families and join together to become one where they often start their own family. Sociologists are mostly interested in the relationship between marriage and family as they form the key structures in a society. The key interest on the correlation between marriage and family is because marriages are historically regarded as the institutions that create a family while families are on the other hand the very basic unit upon which our societies are founded on.

Introduction Malay families and households in Singapore experience various socio-economic changes due to industralization. As familes and households are not fixed nor isolated from the wider society, these socio-economic changes are seen to tamper with the “ideal Malay family”. Djamour (1959) states that the “ideal Malay family” is predominantly made up of a nuclear family comprising of a married couple and children. The head of the household is the chief wage earner and is mostly the man, while women see to housework and caring of small children. This natural patriarchal notion result in a very clear divisions of male-female domains of daily responsibilities in a household (Nirmala, 1993).
The first key part studies the cultural influences on marriage, starting with our societies plethora of options. The overabundance of everyday choices leads people to constantly assess their decisions and
