Chapter 10: Families

Chose ONE of the listed questions and answer the question
1. Why might the public wedding proposal be an antiquated gesture? How does it put pressure on
the one being asked to say yes, even if that person does not really want to?
2. With the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states, how do
you see those who are against same-sex marriage resisting this change? Do you see a time in the
near future where we will have total acceptance of same-sex marriages in the United States?
How might one?s attitude toward same-sex couples be related to their socialization experience?
Give examples.
3. Dual-earner families are on the rise. How does having both parents working compromise the
integrity and stability of the family? How does this affect the quantity, and potentially the
quality, of family interaction? At the end of the day, is it more valuable to have money in the
bank or a lifetime of memories? Explain.
