Family of Orientation
Think about the terms that are discussed in this week’s lesson.
- Describe your family of orientation based on those terms (lineage, residence, power).
- Now think of your family in terms of functionalist theory an conflict theory.
- How were the functions of the family carried out in your family of orientation?
- How was labor divided in your family?
- Was there any visible conflict in your family?
- Do you think that families have some similarities to the workforce as conflict theorists do?
