Generally, we think of a family as a domestic group of people.
But society increasingly accepts a number of variations on family forms
For exapmple: an elderly man and cats, a close knit franternity or sorority.
Consequently, there is substantial variation in family forms around the world.

Another is polygamy. it refer to have many spouse.And these structure was change over time.

2.Mention and Question
I can know the fact that meaning of the family has changed historically, andthe meaning of family is beyond the meaning of the family;mother father son ...
And i knew the reason of the marriage is just have baby. but after knowing the childfree,
I can fix my stereotype.
And I also learn the aging has a mean that sociology,and the eldery people has a restiction
So i have a question. As science and technology evolve, Every house has a robot in the future.
How will the robot affect the concept 'the family'?
I think the concept 'the family' is not affected.
ReplyDeleteIn future, everyone has robot and they use their robot in a variety of ways.
We think their robot as pet or family or just robot or friend.
It depends on how we think about it.
So, the concept 'the family' is not affected and maybe the number of people thinking a robot as family increase more and more.
I think the robot change many family forms. Peoples cut loose at houseworks, so they have many leisure time. I don't know it is positively or negatively. But one thing for sure, it changed the family and society.
ReplyDeleteI think, in future, robot can be a member of families. Maybe in very distant future, robots have high intelligence like human beings. And its looks is similar to human beings. Eventually robots not different from human. So, it can be accommodated as members of families.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting question.
ReplyDeleteIn the future, it will be natural for robots to live together at home like family.
Although the robot is not a person, some people would consider it a family.
Just as pets are now recognized as a family, I think there is a possibility that robots will be accepted as a family.
I read your post well. Probably at first I think that robot is a convenient tool for my life. But if it becomes massive, it will be accepted as a family. For example, livestock was once a property and possessions. But now I accept it as a family.
ReplyDeleteI will not accept it at once, but gradually I will accept it as a better robot.
