Summary)
Family
Definition of family is not a simple
things. It may include not only your parents, siblings and your spouse but also
pet you breeding. Family is not limited genetically.
There is substantial variation in family
forms. General form of family structure in the Western World is monogamy. In
this structure, people has only one spouse or partner at a time. Monogamy is
not only structure of family. Polygamy, having more than one wife, polyandry,
having more than one husband and endogamy is also existing. And family
structures have changed over time.
One of the functions of procreative families
is to reproduce society. Other one is leading children socializing. And the
function of non-procreative families is to facilitate is to facilitate many
filed support networks.
Courtship, marriage, children, divorcing,
death and widowing. We call these The Family Life Cycle.
Courtship is dating period before marry. Marriage
means governmentally, socially, or religiously recognized conjugal relations. And
sometimes couple divorce and through divorce conjugal relations is to end. Not
this process, through death conjugal is to end.
And coming to modern society, new structure
of families has come on: one-parent household, cohabitation, same-sex unions,
childfree.
Aging
Aging not simply means growing order. It
means human beings experience many things and being maturation. Aging is not
limited biologically. It also include sociological meaning.
Human life can be divided into various age
spans: infancy, toddler, childhood, adolescence, young adult, prime adulthood,
middle age, old age.
Following the Age, treatment is different. Young
people are often subjected to discriminations. It is usually in the behavioral
restrictions. For example of restrictions is: can’t vote in elections, can’t
hold public office. Discriminations toward the elderly is in field of physical
abuse.
Aging is being the problem in world especially
in developed countries.
Mention & Question)
I think that the meaning of the FAMILY has
been discoloration. In past, large family the principal form of family, in
modern, no-child family, no-spouse family, adopting-child family is improve.
And I wonder world aging trend has relation with this?
Your question is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a connection between the aging trends in the world and the changing variety of family forms.
In the past, the average life span was short, and therefore many homes were living with the elderly, but as the average life span increased, at the same time the burden of care of elderly increased, which would increase the number of the elderly living alone.
It is funny.
ReplyDeleteI think world againg trend has right relation with whose change of shape of familys.
Because wolrd aging trend is arised because of no-child phenomenon. These phenomenon is arised by no-kid family, one-kid family, single family,.. and so on.
So these change of family's form bears wolrd aging trend.
