What is a family? We are all members of the family. We can not all be born alone. In order for any life to occur, parents are needed and they form a family. So how far can we say 'family'?
We can question the basic concept of a family. As mentioned in this link, can anyone who shares blood say it's a family? If so, is not the family adopted? I can not answer that accurately. There are so many variations of "family" today that it is hard to define what, exactly, a family is. This is a very complex and diverse problem that can not be easily defined. And this is 'variable' according to the times. For example, in the past, they did not recognize homosexuals and therefore did not recognize them as family forms.
However, as the times change and the values of people change, in some countries, in some countries, homosexual families are legally recognized. And in the past, one-person households were not classified as family, but one-person households are recognized as family members. As the number of single-family households increases and the social-atmosphere is not married among young people. In addition, the form of family varies from culture to culture. In other words, there is substantial variation in the forms of the world. For example, most countries at present are 'monogamy'. But in some other countries of the exception is 'polygamy'. In other words, the form of family is not the same throughout the world, but the form of family changes according to the form of culture that the country recognizes and accepts.
The meaning of 'family' also changes over time. For example, Pairing off into formal or informal relationships originated in hunter-gatherer groups. Intermarriage between groups, tribes, or clans was often political or strategic and in reciprocal obligations between the two groups represented by the marital partners. Over time, horticultural or agriculture-based societies developed and changed the nature of marriage and family forms built around it. Through these developments, marriage became an economic and political means. They have accumulated their wealth through marriage and have been able to live a more affluent life economically. Another example is the family form of Rome. Rome was a patriarchal society as in the past. In other words, men became the center of the family and could have many rights. On the other hand, a married woman must obey her husband and help him. Thus, from the past to the present, various forms of family existed, and the meaning of the family varied from generation to generation.
Families also play an important role. There is a child through childbirth. And the child becomes 'socialized' through the family. In other words, it has been continuously socialized from the parents since childhood, and it plays an important role in forming the character, self, habit, and values of the child. People who can not go through socialization properly from their families will not be able to live because they can not adapt to the society. People also have a sense of psychological, economic, and emotional stability in their homes. And through marriage, they have various duties and rights, such as the obligation to support their children, and their economic duties. Families can be legally recognized through marriage. Men and women are loved, married. They live together as a couple and live in a variety of social functions.
But marriage causes multiple inequalities. For example, sexual inequality. Women and men marry under agreement. But woman much more to give up than men. For example, when a woman becomes pregnant, it is difficult to work. She must rest or quit her job to childbirth. In addition, after childbirth women have a lot of situations that makes her work harder.
After all almost women are more likely to give up their jobs than men after giving birth. Women also have a much higher amount of labor than men in housework or parenting.
2)My mention in this link.
So, in this link, I studied 'family'. The question of the basic concept of the family, the meaning of the family, the role of the family, family and sexual inequality are the keywords of this link that I think. Families are a very socially important group. They can exist through their families, be socialized, and live safely in their own society. Today we recognizes various forms of family, and there are several forms of family. All of us are already members of the family, and we will be living another family in the future. In the society, we will live up to our social, legal, political and economic obligations.

3) Question in this link.
Speak about the type of family that people did not recognize in the past but now recognize.
Like the homosexual family or the single family.
In your article, it is good that I did not read some part of the family. It also seems to be an interesting summary of the article about the family. To answer your question, there are many family forms in modern society, like Neo-Singles (: The Neo-Singles refer to a celibate generation enjoying a single culture based on their strong economic power and ability of using digital) and Dingk (: double income, no kids. Working hard and leisure time is characterized by a way of life that you want to do while doing what you want without being restrained by their children). They are a new form of family emerging in modern society.
ReplyDeleteThere is a dinkpet in the form of a new family.
ReplyDeleteThey are dual-earner couples, but do not give birth to children, but instead raise pets.
