Nature Of Family Life Research Articles

Підготовки до розроблення та використання в освітньому процесі початкової школи гендерних педагогічних ігор на основі суб’єкт-об’єкт-суб’єктного підходу

The article reveals the issue of preparation for the development and use of gender pedagogical games in the educational process of primary school on the basis of subject-object-subject approach. It was found that one of the main tasks of higher education is a professionally competent future specialist who is able to think freely and actively, independently generate and implement new ideas and technologies of teaching and education. An analysis of recent research and publications. Based on the generalization of theoretical positions and concepts «gender», «culture», «gender culture», the essence of the concept «culture of gender relations of junior schoolchildren» is revealed. Selected components of the gender of primary school age: the ability to identify with members of the same sex; the ability to relate their gender behavior to the behavior of others; knowledge of «female» and «male» activities, professions; external and internal aspects of masculinity and femininity; ideas about the partnership nature of family life; humane treatment of adults, peers of the same and opposite sex; types of gender representations; elements of knowledge about gender; sources; game activity. The structure of gender pedagogical games on the basis of subject-object-subject interaction is determined. It is substantiated that certain conditions should be taken into account for the organization of gender pedagogical games. Game techniques are offered for creation of gender pedagogical games. It is concluded that the use of gender pedagogical games based on subject-object-subject relations will lead to the successful development of the child as a whole.

Work-Family Conflict and Family-Work Conflict on Employees Turnover Intentions in the Tourism Industry

Work Family Conflict (WFC) happens when work weights meddle with the nature of family life, though Family Work Conflict (FWC) happens when family weights meddle with obligations at work. Then again, Turnover Intention (TOI) is about deliberate or involuntary act of quitting their job (Lingard & Valerie, 2009). The motivation behind the examination is to look at inside 50 respondents in the tourism industry, mainly hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies in Alexandria the effects of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family-Work Conflict (FWC) on Turnover Intentions (Saridakis & Cooper, 2016). This paper expected to look at: Whether the Work-Family Conflict impacts Turnover Intentions of the representatives that thusly impact their Turnover conduct. Whether Family steady association discernments assume any part in impacting workers' Turnover Intentions. Whether these discernments can impact the effect that Work-Family Conflict has on Turnover Intentions and certainly on Turnover conduct. The outcomes demonstrated that Alexandria representatives in the tourism industry who encountered an abnormal state of Work-Family Conflict display more Intentions to leave the present manager (MA, 2017).

The Nature of Family Life among Marginalized People Living with HIV/AIDS in the Canadian Prairies

This article reports on family life for a group of individuals living with HIV/AIDS from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Participants took photos of people and things that provided support to deal with their disease; they then described the photos, and their narratives were used as data points for this analysis. Eight themes were revealed, and we report on one, family life, which has three subthemes: (a) family separation, shown across the life cycle, from adoption of respondents or of their children; from illness or death of parents, siblings, or offspring; and from physical separation; (b) family support (or lack thereof); and (c) family violence, either physical or psychological, that was frequent and formed the context for interaction. These subthemes are discussed and implications for practice and research are presented.

Social class and changing families in an unequal America

American families are far more diverse and complex today than they were 50 years ago. As ideas about marriage, divorce, and remarriage have changed, so too have our understandings about cohabitation, childbearing, parenting, and the transition to adulthood. Americans of all socioeconomic backgrounds have witnessed changes in the nature of family life, but as this book reveals, these changes play out in very different ways for the wealthy or well off than they do for the poor. Social Class and Changing Families in an Unequal America offers an up-to-the-moment assessment of the condition of the family in an era of growing inequality. Highlighting unique aspects of family behavior, it reveals the degree to which families' varying experiences are shaped by social class. This book offers a much needed assessment of contemporary family life amid the turbulent economic changes in the United States.

Time, Space, and Memories

ABSTRACTThis article traces the ways that gendered and generational family practices were remembered across time in the context of working-class homes in Victorian Britain. Two everyday domestic objects—the father's chair and the grandfather clock—are examined and analyzed, drawing on John Gillis' work on ritualized family spaces and contested notions of time (Gillis 1996). Both these objects resonate with the contested use of domestic space and the layered meanings of family time in working-class lives, not least because both are often remembered in autobiographical accounts of home and family. The special place of the father's chair highlighted the feminizing of the home and accompanying development of rituals to welcome and ensconce the father in his domestic domain each day. The sound of clocks underpinned the bringing together of industrial time, separating leisure and work for those at school or employment away from home, and at the same time conveying the cyclical nature of family life and its everyday routines from day to day, year to year, and generation to generation. Memories of chairs and clocks embedded in autobiographies offer important evidence about the images, sounds, and sensory experiences that resonated most powerfully when remembering and composing the hierarchies and tensions of working-class family life.

Children's snacking, children's food: food moralities and family life

This work considers the construction of children's food and children's eating practices, in the narratives of children, aged 11–12, and their parents, and explores what these constructions reveal about child–adult relations and the nature of family life. It argues that, implicit to the differentiation of children's and adult's food and eating practices within families are generationally nuanced food moralities. We suggest that the day-to-day, ongoing negotiation and management of these generationally nuanced food moralities is integral to the constitution of intergenerational relations and generational identity and, indeed, the idea of ‘family’ itself.

Family Life in the Twentieth Century

This third and final volume of History of the European Family series concludes a comprehensive work synthesising what is known about the history of the European family over the past five centuries. It places family history and the changing life experience of ordinary people at the heart of the new social history. The 20th century saw extraordinary events and changes that were without precedent in human history. It was the century of world wars, of economic crises, and of radically new ideologies and political regimes; yet it was also the century of guaranteed social rights, economic growth and the advent of the Welfare State. The profound political and social transformations that took place between 1914 and 2000 had a huge impact on European families, particularly in relation to women and contraception, work and migration, domestic instability, and the law. One of the fundamental questions raised by Marzio Barbagli and David I. Kertzer is whether, and to what extent, different European societies became more or less similar over the course of the 20th century, as far as the nature of family life is concerned. Bringing together ten contemporary scholars in the field from across Europe and America, the editors present a collection of essays which explore the influences of the economy, the state, the church, the world wars, and other demographic forces over the European family during the most violent century in history.

Roots, Routes, And Rootedness: Diversity, Migration, and Toleration in Mid-Atlantic Pluralism

Roots, Routes, And RootednessDiversity, Migration, and Toleration in Mid-Atlantic Pluralism Ned C. Landsman One of the most often cited descriptions of mid-Atlantic society ever penned appeared in 1782, in Letters from an American Farmer, written some years before by the French-born writer and New York inhabitant J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur. In the third letter of that volume, the author, posing as a farmer in Pennsylvania, asked the famous question, "What is the American?" He provided the following answer: He is either an European, or the descendant of an European; hence the strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now wives of four different nations. . . . Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men.1 There are many questions one could ask about the Farmer's description—about nations and groups in the mid-Atlantic, about the nature of family life in the region, even about the gendered connotations of the concept of a new race of men. But the aspect that has always attracted the most attention has been the description of the mixing of peoples, long considered to be among [End Page 267] the classic statements of American pluralism. It is fitting that such a passage was penned by an inhabitant of the mid-Atlantic, for there, more than anywhere else in British America, one found early and extensive intermingling of diverse groups of settlers—English, Dutch, French, Scots, Irish, Swedes, Finns, Jews, and German-speakers from diverse jurisdictions—along with similarly varied African and Native American peoples, who Crèvecoeur failed to mention. There one found as well the most often-noted system of religious toleration in British America, if not the whole of the Western world. The Middle-Colony region surely was, in Michael Zuckerman's apt phrase, "America's First Plural Society."2 The prevalence of toleration and pluralism in the region by no means describes all there is to know about diversity in the mid-Atlantic. Implicit in the Farmer's description is not only the fact of the intermixing of peoples in the region, but several different portrayals of how they mixed. In the passage cited above, the Farmer wrote of people of many nationalities "melted into a new race," a phrase that seems to anticipate depictions of America as a melting pot, in which immigrants from diverse backgrounds came to adopt a common culture. Yet at other times the Farmer described people of varying beliefs and habits living side by side, suggesting that those peoples were not really melted together at all. In those passages, the Farmer emphasized instead the toleration of difference, a society in which religious and cultural variety flourished. Moreover, there were clear limits to the author's general sense of inclusion. If the Farmer viewed Americans as assembled from "all nations," both the language and context make abundantly clear that the "nations" to which he referred were entirely restricted to northern and western Europe. The ambiguities that appear in the Farmer's presentation had existed within the region almost from the beginning. For if toleration and diversity were among the distinguishing characteristics of the Middle Colonies, the ways in which people mixed—the degrees of integration and inclusion, the extent of liberty and tolerance, and the general character of the groups themselves—were quite varied. There were in fact several rather different varieties of pluralism present in the mid-Atlantic, ranging from an apparently large degree of intermixing that often appeared to reduce distinctions among people to a pluralism comprising diverse communities, sometimes living side by side, but with only limited interaction among them. Religious accommodation within the region also varied, from the limited and often grudging acceptance of doctrinal and denominational difference known as toleration to [End Page 268] something much closer to true tolerance and full religious liberty. If the Middle Colonies were in fact precursors of American pluralism, that is because all of those forms would have significant echoes later in...

Changing our view of the family.

The notion of ‘family’ is as old as humanity itself and has been the subject of countless research studies. Many of the problems of modern living have been attributed to the changing nature of family life. Indeed, many a politician has staked his or her future on a return to so-called traditional family values as the panacea for all society’s ills. This is a risky strategy, however, if we consider the huge diversity of what constitutes family today.

Sexual Orientation and Legal Discourse: Legal Constructions of the “Normal” Family

AbstractLegal method, or the way in which legal claims are processed, is an integral component of the law's authority to include, exclude and deny claims and experiences. This paper explores the issue of sexual orientation and the legal construction of family as it emerges in the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Egan v. Canada. The analysis includes a detailed consideration of the ways in which the Supreme Court of Canada incorporates assumptions about the nature of family life as a relevant factor in its assessment of the meaning of the word “spouse” under the Old Age Security Act. The process by which notions of the normal family become legitimized through legal discourse is deconstructed using the work of Mary Jane Mossman and Michel Foucault. Mossman develops an analytic framework which illuminates the ways in which legal method works to preserve the power of law and the illusion that law produces “truth.” Michel Foucault considers both the ways in which knowledge is produced as truth, and its integral links to power.

Choice Within Constraints: Mothers and schooling

ABSTRACT This article explores the discourses of choice in the context of the current, and international, public policy debates about providing freedom of choice for parents as consumers in the education market place. In particular it explores the public and private discourses of choice to illustrate the argument that mothers as parents are not 'free to choose' but act within a range of constraints. We term these both structural and moral constraints and offer evidence about them as experienced by mothers over time in relation to bringing up children, from resources to negotiations about relationships and expectations about both the nature of family life, employment and their children's place within the future. It also offers some evidence from our various research studies of mothers from their perspectives, about the processes of choice, in the context of both structural and moral constraints, including issues about involvement in their children's education and schooling. Consideration is also given to mothers' evaluations of their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their possibilities of child rearing and education. The article concludes with the argument that mothers' experiences of the processes of bringing up and educating their children are not at all in harmony with the, albeit contradictory, public policy discourse of their being free to choose. Mothers' various perspectives from their varied vantage points are indeed limited by structural and moral possibilities in a patriarchal and racist society.

The family life cycle: Impressions

This paper is concerned with the kind of everyday family experiences that most of us have gone through. It is written in a style that is more poetry than science, but, like poetry, probably gets closer to the truth about the nature of family life than does more technical conceptual material. Too often professionals write in such abstract, theoretical terms about families that they end up sounding unlike any family you ever knew. In this paper, I tried to write about the natural, typical incidents that occur to people as they get married, have kids, grow old, and die. It is hoped that the reader will connect and identify with these evocations, get shocks of recognition, as well as, who knows, some private chuckles. Families are where you live, emotionally and physically. Our family experiences — the passions, hates, loves, mysteries, paradoxes, measureless sacrifices, joys, injustices, jealousies, storms, comforts, bonds, and patterns— are burned into the cauldrons of the mind. The family memories lived through intimate others persist through space and time, sometimes sharply, usually as vague wisps of unremembered pasts, shaping the meanings of our lives and those close to us. The family, not anatomy, is destiny.

Ashkenazic Jewry and the European marriage pattern: A Preliminary survey of Jewish marriage age

In the course of early modern times, the population of Western Europe developed a family and marriage pattern which differed sharply from that of most of the rest of the world. This "European marriage pattern" was marked by very late marriage, by the extreme rarity of households containing more than one couple and by the frequent presence of young unmarried servants.1 This seemingly unique pattern has significance not only because of its impact on the nature of family life, but also because of its possible connection with the emergence of other patterns of modern western life. Late marriage seems to have been connected with systems of widespread free land tenure and private property. By delaying marriage, young people were waiting to accumulate sufficient property before founding a family. (Often they served as servants in the homes of unrelated families during the period before their marriage.) This period of "delayed gratification" was a primitive form of population control and a sign of rational control over one's economic situation. By establishing a long period between physical maturation and marriage, it helped create the separate state of adolescence with its many sexual and emotional strains. It also played a role in the transition from marriage choices controlled by parents for their minor children to marriage partners chosen by the spouses themselves, many of whom were now adults whose parents had either died or retired.

Blending Families in Australia: Is the Nuclear Family Changing?

SynopsisThe nature of family life in Australia is changing and established ideas relating to family, marriage and divorce are being challenged. One such challenge is provided by the ‘blending family’, that is, family groupings in which one or both adult partners have previously been married or in de facto relationships from which they bring children. Outwardly the blending family is indistinguishable from other families. It is their internal structural characteristics and dynamics, and their external social needs that are different. This paper outlines the extent of this growing family form in Australia, together with details of changing family patterns. Blending families are shown to be overwhelmingly Anglomorph and middle-class, and are more likely to be formed around a divorced mother with children. The second half of the paper discusses some of the reasons for the formation of blending families and examines several of their significant structural characteristics, noting that role ambiguity and unclear...

A Sidewards Look At Change

In contemporary society, especially within American middle-class families, there is a shift from a generational to a peer-associational orientation. This shift in authority orien- tation also carries with it a divergence from a preoccupation with role performance to one with competence development. These shifts are explained in the changes in societal requirements, in the nature of family life, and in ongoing child-rearing practices. These ongoing changes suggest the necessity to re-evaluate present practice modalities and tech- niques which are anchored in studies and practices pursued within a generational orientation.
