...Assess the view that in today's society the family is loosing its functions (24 marks) there are many different sociologists who look in the families place in today's society and assess the level of function to family that family has today. The nuclear family provides functions for society, Murdock supports the theory that the family allows its members to express their sexuality in a socially approved way. This also allows for the reproduction of children needed for society. The family defines what is socially acceptable according to sex with controls, over dating, pre-marital sex and marital sex. Chaos would be resulted without these controls. However, some theorists argue that the nuclear family is loosing functions. This is because in Britain since the 1970s there has been an increase in the reproduction of children before, alongside and outside marriage with lone parent families and increased divorce as part of a greater choice in society. Post-modernism argue that changes in society with choice and greater individualism mean that traditional ideas on sexual relation are not carried out by nuclear families with many new family types and the rise of single parents. Another reason the nuclear family provides functions for society is through socialisation. The theorist Parsons argues that primary socialisation is still provided by the family who teach society's culture such as the language history and values,. Without this, society would cease to exist. On the other...

...PERPETUATES INEQUALITY Using a microsociological lens, we develop a theoretical framework that explains how social class distinctions are sustained within organizations. In particular, we intro- duce the concept of “class work” and explicate the cognitions and practices that members of different classes engage in when they come in contact with each other in cross-class encounters. We also elucidate how class work perpetuates inequality, as well as the consequences of class work on organizations and those at the lower end of the organizational hierarchy. By examining microlevel interactions and how they become institutionalized within organizations as prevailing rules and practices, we contribute to both institutional theory and the sociology of social class differences. We encourage future research on social class and discuss some of the challenges inher- ent in conducting it. Several contemporary developments—includ- ing the financial crisis of 2008 (Rajan, 2010), the shrinking of the middle class (Leicht & Fitzger- ald, 2007), and the rise of the “new poor” in America (Cohen, 2010)— have reinjected the is- sue of social class differences and inequality (Stiglitz, 2012) into contemporary discourse. Within organization studies, however, social class has received only scant consideration (cf. Castilla & Benard, 2010; Dacin, Munir, & Tracey, 2010; Scully & Blake-Beard, 2006). While two re- cent exceptions report the consequences of class differences on individual behavior...
