Family
Family is defined as domestic group of people and it is linked through same ancestor, marriage, adoption, committed relationship. Form of family differs from ancient form. Single-person household has been increased. And family form is different from culture to culture. Also, family forms is attitudes toward endogamy. Family form has changed over time,
There are many theories about family. 1.Function of family : From children's view, family is family of orientation. From adult's view, family is family of procreation. Procreative families utilize marital privileges, rights, laws but all society do not follow this, Non-procreative familiy facilitate social, economic, emotional, interpersonal support network.
Family life cycle is courtship - marriage - children - divorce - death and widowing.
In family, there is inequality based on gender, race and ethnicity, religion.
And there are new forms of family - one parent household, cohabitation, same-sex unions, childfree.
My think & Question
I focus on new forms of family especially one parent household. Since 2007, Korea divorce rate has been higher than 110,000. Divorce in two-person households (wife&husband), divorce isn't important. But if they have child, child will have wound in their mind. They will be lonely in empty house and miss one parent. So they need help. How can help them??

I agree with your opinion that they will be lonely.
ReplyDeleteBut, I don't agree with your opinion that they will miss one parent.
They don't miss one parent. They still have two parents. Although they do divorce, they will have to pay attention to their children.
If having enough care, I think they cannot be lonely.

I also agree with your opinion that one parent house's children might lonely and they need help. However, I wonder whether you mean the help of a national lever or a personal level. I think it is good to provide policy. I think it's better to organize a system that can provide care for children while mothers or fathers work.
ReplyDeleteIt is likely that an education that changes the perception of one parent is necessary. One parent's children are not ashamed of this family situation, and other children are aware that one parent's family is just one type of family.
ReplyDeleteAs the divorce rate increases, one parent usually has to make money, so there are many children who keep their own house.
ReplyDeleteA variety of methods are needed to help those children who are lonely and have a broken heart.
First, it is necessary to establish regional facilities for educating or playing together children who are left alone in the house.
In addition, a counseling center for the children should be set up to help them grow up well.
