According to Moore et Al (2005), the New Right claim there is a decline in family and believe there was once a golden age of family. These theorists are firm believers of the old traditional ways or norms and values who are often politicians who think conservatively. The presumption of when the family was at its golden age is considered to be when husbands and wives were devoted to one another thought thick and thin and when they raised their children in a way that respects both the parents and society's customs.
The 1960s and early 1970s is viewed by the New Right as the time traditional values started diminishing and they put quite a lot of blame on the government as they are the ones who place policies such as legalising abortion (1960s) and allowing contraceptive pills to be available through prescriptions and the NHS and that because of the sexual freedom this allows for women they are less concerned about the family. They also claim women are distracted from their 'natural' careers as mothers due to things like equal opportunities and the equal pay legislation.

Capitalism seems to slowing down the way in which communism is succeeding. Anti-Marxists look at the link between social, political, and economic actions and how they are linked, as well as how they may be affected by culture. Anti-Marxists are looking at factors which may alter Marxism (Kidd, Abbott and Czerniawski, 2004).

It fails to explain the social interaction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It also fails to see problems in other marginalised groups such as the ethnic minority, women and the elderly. It doesn’t recognise the conflicts these groups have and puts its focus purely on the class conflicts. Also it doesn’t address the conflicts in these other groups in our society. ]]> 2017-11-27 10:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210314834 Jenny https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210315903 Society is a complex system, Functionalism is a theory that says in order for society to be strong and stable it must use its parts to work together. In order to understand society we should investigate the relationship between  ‘parts of society’ both to each other and to society as a whole. We can analyse different parts of society for example religious beliefs and customs by showing how they relate to other institutions within it. We can study the function of social practice to analyse the contribution it makes to the continuation of society.  Functionalists such as Comte and Durkheim use an example of a human heart to compare the operation of society, parts of society work together like parts of the body to benefit society as a whole.

From this they examined the differences in health, the results showed that after 30 years of receiving free NHS there is a clear gap between the health of the working class and the middle class. The report also showed that Britain had a bigger gap than most European countries, where from this the government tried to hide the report and only made a few copies hoping that not many people would notice it. The Acheson Report was conducted 18 years later in 1998 and this report also showed a difference in health; which was also supported by other small studies. The Black Report suggested that there are reasons for the differences in health regarding social class, these reasons are used in today’s reports on health and social class this is according to Newbold et al (Newbold et al, 2008, AQA Sociolgy, Cheltenham, Nelson Thornes Ltd). ]]> 2017-11-27 10:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316728 Jess https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316858 2017-11-27 10:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316858 Walter https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316889 2017-11-27 10:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316889 Serwaa bridgetmay73 https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316936 2017-11-27 10:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316936 Rebecca https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316985 (Cameron et all, Published 2008, Cheltenham, Nelson thornes Ltd, 2017)]]> 2017-11-27 10:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210316985 Comfort https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210317163 2017-11-27 10:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210317163 Jess https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210317501 Feminists believe that the key to expose an oppressive society is to exploit how the dominance of males and their power over society. Feminist writer Hammersley (1992) believes that there are four aspects to feminist research. These include the beliefs that inferiority of women in seen in all aspects of society, analysis should be based on women’s emotions and experiences, to help the research belong to the women understudy the subject of research should help interpret the information established, and that the success of research should be measured in the liberation of women.

Families accept and understand the biological differences between men and women.society arguably played a major role. Families often contributes through primary socialisation. Boys are dressed differently and have different toys to girls. Boys are treated differently to girls through their behaviour, not as individuals. Girls imitates their mothers “cleaning and cooking “ Boys are encouraged, imitates simulates their father(washing cars) and they assume and made believe it is part of man’s duty

The triple shift is a combination of having a job,taking care of the family and also housework. Feminists beieve that the triple shift causes mental illness with women and and that they lack support from other famiy members.

Marx’s theoretical perspective has often been referred to as historical materialism. This means that Marx is opposed to idealism. Marx argues that the dominant ideas and ideals of an age are like reflections of the dominant way of life, more specifically of a societies mode of production.

Another problem is that it believes that there is a system of power beginning from the top of society making its way down , Marxists don’t recognise how power may be in the hands of different groups in society as they pay more attention to the social class of individuals in society as they clearly recognise the conflict going on but the however abandon the in society.( Cameron J , Flowers T , Hart M , Peace M , Renton N , Watts D, Wright M , AQA Sociology , Nelson Thornes , Cheltenham, 2008 ) https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210321903 Alima]]> 2017-11-27 10:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210321903 Elisha https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210323761 2017-11-27 10:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210323761 Elisha https://padlet.com/bridgetmay73/bllze9evyul9/wish/210324666 The interactionist perspective has been spoken about by a number of sociologists, Hebert Blumer (1969) believed that interactionism is based on 3 central views. 
Firstly, he argued that social forces do not influence human behaviour. Rather, human behaviour is based on subjective perceptions, people have choices of what to do because of being self-conscious. Secondly, he saw meanings as flexible because people are in constant discussion with one another. Lastly, he believed that society is based on human actions. This is opposed to society building upon individual behaviour. (Haralambos, 2017)

There is a concensus agreement that men and women has biological differences. Nevertheless the family believes that most of the differences are created by society, however the family play a role in creating this difference through the upbringing. This is as a result of how they were brought up and the toys they played with. Girls imitate their mothers on how house chores are done and believes that is part of the formation or a role of a woman.

There has been a massive influx of anorexia and bulimia in men, which previously was widely only really associated with women. This is due to things such male lifestyle magazines, and even the new existence of the male cosmetic industry within our society, which is putting more and more pressure on men in todays society. This is making people question the link between identities, and what we perceive as popular culture (Kidd, Abbott, and Czerniawski, 2004).

Their opinion is that there was once a golden age of the family in which husbands and wives love each other and children were trained to respect the law. 
The 1960s and 1970s raised the bar in this family values that was on the brink on the doorstep of the state especially legalisation of abortion and the NHS making contraceptive pills easily accessible. Sexual freedom, equal opportunities and equal pay legalisation enjoyed by women has made women loose their identity as 'natural ' careers. The 1969 Divorce Reform Act  contributed to the decline of commitment to marriage. This ' New Right ' think tank also raised concern of  the basis of decriminalising homosexuality nd lowering of the homosexual consent age. They saw all these new ideas as the hallmark to the decline of traditional family values because they see homosexuality as not part of the social life bloc. (Stephen Moore et al )
