Are not fixed and unchanging.  They often provide clear behavior guidelines for family roles.  This could be how the mother often does domestic labor such as taking care of the children and cooking and cleaning.  Meanwhile the father is more of an economic provider and does domestic work in the home like repairs.
Child roles:
They used to be an economic provider and now they are more of an emotional provider and can provide more stability in the home.  Children are also not held to the same standards as adults because they still need to go through more development.
New Man:
This is where the men begin to take on more domestic responsibilities.  There is also the idea of the new father which is where it combines a traditional masculinity and being a good, caring, and responsible father.  According to McMahon the idea of the new man is a fantasy that most men have little interest in.
Domestic Violence:
More domestic violence is seen against women however domestic violence does occur against men. There are a number of domestic violence cases the go unreported. According to Kirkwood this could be due to several reasons. 1. The victim's low self esteem, 2. Economic or psychological dependence on the perpetrator, 3. Fear of further consequences.]]> 2021-03-24 16:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348903784 Adulthood - Alexis https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348909273 -emotional attachments hold more value

- Economic – without state support this ‘family choice’ could not exist. 

- Moral – its existence depends on the tolerance of those who eventually pick up the bill for women who choose to have children outside of marriage. 

- Single parenthood, therefore, is considered both immoral and unproductive. It produces poorly socialized, dysfunctional children who go on to live adult lives dependent on state benefits, crime or both. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348910172 Danielle - Roles and Responsibility https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348913150 Parents:

They were once considered economic and emotional drain, however, they represent a new valuable resource for families, in relation to childcare. They can be especially resourceful to lone parent or single parent families as work pressures parents to have less time for children, therefore, grandparents can have an emotional role for their grandchildren. As a negotiation, most grandparents want to help out but don’t necessarily want to provide full time care for their grandchildren as they are no longer considered a “door mat.”

The idea behind the kinship based family structure was to have the opportunity to work, while having other people to help raise the children in the household. Not only this, but larger families were used to maintain family businesses and lifestyles, such as a family farm. 
- Post- industrialization- Following the industrial revolution the structure of the family began to change, along with the roles within the family. As families began to move across the country to gain work, the size of the family began to decrease. This allowed for a new structure of the family to take place, the nuclear family. The creation of the nuclear family provided balance within the household, and allowed for more support from the state. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348941412 Marxism Feminism // Isabella Garcia https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1348946070 • gender inequalities in conjugal roles in capitalist societies based on Marxist ideas

These roles where given because society deemed they were the best fit. However, this is inaccurate.

2. Moral Economy - values and norms relating to conjugal roles and responsibilities of different family members. The female partner can exercise high levels of power through organizing family resources and behaviors 
3. Emotional economy relates interpersonal relationships to “affective power.” If someone loves you, this gives you power. It can shift depending on who loves the other the most: partner who loves the least can use this to exert power over one who loves the most.

It has changed from being treated as mini adults to being treated as a vessel of innocence that should be protected from the harsh reality of the world. The types of child has also changed overtime, changing from the delinquent child (introduced in the early 19th century) to the psychological child (introduced in the late 20th century). This change over time proves that childhood isn't rooted in biology. Another indicator that childhood isn't a biological thing is the differences between cultures experiencing childhood. The aboriginies people go through the woods in order to become a man while people in America do no where near something like that. However, in addition to cross cultural differences there is also differences within cultures. Things like gender, class, and ethnicity all effect how a child experiences childhood, therefore further proving the point that childhood isn't a natural thing since it changes.]]> 2021-04-09 16:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1400661238 Divorce- Alexis https://padlet.com/mrreynolds55/f6yn8qqjnezfho8m/wish/1400663479 Divorce has only been legal for sixty years.

Different societies see children in different ways, yet if it were a biological idea then everyone would view them the same way. 
Additionally, the idea behind childhood has shifted since it was first discovered. Pre-industrial societies almost ignore the idea of kids and just treat them like young adults, yet along the path of modernisation that changed. Now, kids are granted protection and personal psychological development. The society and its needs dictate how children are viewed, as childhood is a social construct. 
- Children have a complicated place in society. They are granted the protections of adults to keep their innocence, but are also expected to understand the responsibilities of adults. It is stated that children need adults to protect them, but should also have little influence from adults to keep their development innocent.

In ways of the Aborigines, at age 13, after spending 6 months in the australian wilderness, are they accepted into adulthood.  Whereas 13 is still quite young, this rite of passage is the crossing point between child, and adult.  Secondly, In jewish culture boys have the Bar mitzvah for boys once they turn 13 and the Bat mitzvah for girls once they turn 12.  This is a large stepping stone to becoming an adult as it is another rite of passage, that shows your age socially, through the event milestone, rather than the actual chronological age of the child.

The main reason that boys and girls are treated so differently is because parents assume that their children are psychologically different based solely off of their gender. For example, painting the same child as both Beth and Adam, researchers were able to conclude that regardless of how the child behaves, people will treat children differently only based on their gender tied to their name. Parents will often expect women to be more domestic and have more of a bedroom life while parents expect men to go out and play and have less restrictions with curfew and who to hang out with and when.

Older ages in those societies were often viewed as hinderances and a weak link in the group. Nomads prefer to move their home from place to place, so if a member is slowing them down, they will tend to want to remove them. 
However, pre-industrial settlements will treat elderly with respect. Life is about enjoyment and survival where they’re concerned, and the older someone is, the longer they’ve survived. People will want to talk to the elderly and respect their decisions in the matter of living longer, so they have a high status. 
- Social age is not only how society puts a value on chronological age, but it is part of a development of one’s self-image. Social age is blatantly more significant due to how much of society uses it over chronological age. Society keeps track of chronological age, but gauges rights and responsibilities by the person’s social age.

2. A decline in family size from an average of 3 to 1.6 children, although it has risen slightly over the past decade

When a family breaks down, it loses social effectiveness and instead draws on the institutions around it for support. The children involved are more likely to become deviants and rebel against laws, an obvious issue. 
 - The idea of the permeable family is a postmodern look at family structures. It details that families are able to mold with the changes it meets, from breakdown and reconstitution to childbearing and death. There is no set structure in society; each structure serves its purpose, even and especially when family roles are negotiable. - Laws have made it easier for divorce to occur. The Divorce Law Reform Act of 1969 is one such law. The process is a lot easier, with the reasoning for divorce no longer needing to be blamed on one partner; now divorce may happen if any kind of breakdown occurs. 
Secularisation has increased, lessening the religious significance of events. Marriage was once a very religious ceremony, but modern times have disregarded that more and more. Marriage, when religious, forbade divorce; nowadays divorce is looked upon by only few as a sacrilegious event. 
Women have as of late been more financially stable when on their own. Originally, they had to find a man with a job to keep stable, but now they have more independence. They have more career opportunities, enabling more financial stability without having to marry for it.
