...People have often debated whether technology is good or bad. Many people believe that technology can only cause harm to their lives and to the society, while many others strongly defend the technologies which have made their lives much more leisurely and enriching than it could have been with the absence of technology. In my opinion, both of these views are correct to an extent, but I also believe that what should be examined is not whether technology in its self is good or bad, but rather how we decide use it. Household appliances have greatly evolved in the last century. Refrigerators, gas and electric ovens, microwaves, vacuums, dishwashers....the list goes on and on. All these things have made housework much easier than it would have been about 100 years ago. This results with both positive and negative effects. It has given us easier ways to get jobs done, leaving more time for other things, but the bad part of this is what is chosen to do in this extra time. In many cases, this extra time is spent doing leisurely things, which might make us happier, but also has an effect on our health. Lately we have become aware of the dangers of heart disease and the health benefits of exercise. We would have gotten most of this necessary exercise 100 years ago just from doing our daily chores but now aren t getting enough because we don t have to work as hard to do those same chores. This can be blamed on technology, but again, in fact it is our own fault because we chose to use the...

...Assessment of the View that Conjugal Roles Have Become Equal Different sociologists have had different views to whether conjugal roles have become equal. Researchers have measured different aspects of equality/inequality in conjugal roles. Some have concentrated on the division of labour in the home: they have examined the allocation of responsibility for domestic work between husband and wife and the amount of time spent by spouses on particular tasks. Others have tried to measure the distribution of power within marriage. Willmott and Young, and Gillian Dunne are amongst those who have argued that conjugal roles are equal. However many sociologists such as Ann Oakley, Ferri and Smith, Duncombe and Marsden, and Edgel, who have carried out research into the area of conjugal roles, have found little evidence that couples share equal division of domestic tasks. Willmott and Young agree with the statement that conjugal roles have become equal. During the 1970’s they announced the arrival of the symmetrical family, a family in which the roles of husband and wife were similar. In the home the couple ‘shared their work and shared their time’. Husbands were seen to be increasingly helping with domestic chores, child rearing and decision making about family life. Willmott and Young found that 72% of husbands helped with these household tasks. They argued that the change from segregated to joint conjugal roles results mainly from the withdrawal...

...An Assessment of a Nontraditional Family Abstract This is an assessment of a three-member nuclear family. All members were present at time of interview and were open and willing to answer all questions or give feedback. The family consists of Ken 35 years old, Jessica (divorced) 31 years old and Jalen 12 years old. Jessica married Jalen’s father at the age of 19 when she became pregnant and were then divorced a year later. Jessica’s described her former husband as abusive and as having a “bad temper”. Ken is Jessica’s boyfriend of 10 years. They have lived together for 9 of those years in Ken’s house. Jessica is divorced and has one child, Jalen. Ken has been Jalen’s sole father figure for 6 of the 10 years he has been with Jessica. Jalen’s father moved to Florida about 6 years ago and has visited one time. He pays child support when he is employed and calls regularly. When asked about her relationship with Jalen’s father in the past, Jessica answered with a quick reply of, “not good”. This paper will explore the dynamics and functioning of this family. An Assessment of Nontraditional Family The nuclear family consists of two people, not necessarily married and their children (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2009). Ken does not have any children of his own, but considers Jalen to be his son. He is involved in decision-making and discipline with Jalen. Having her son at the age of 19 was very difficult for Jessica to adjust to. She had not graduated high school and made...

...See this story has a twist, about a man, who’s finally got on the right path, found an amazing woman but it all goes wrong. Thousands of people in the United Kingdom die because they are involved with gangs. This story will narrate how a man got his girlfriend in a very bad situation. Times are getting tough and tighter. But wait; before this story goes on, you should know more about the basic background- Mark met Sarah just about a year ago in college, they both went to their local college, and from then they’ve been inseparable. However; Mark had his own ideas back then, he was out selling drugs from 6:00pm to 6:00am, he found it the norm and the way of life. He was a regular smoker of weed and went through several boxes of cigarettes a day. He was known as a “Clapham boy” and he hanged around with a group of so called “friends” but he didn’t know their true colours. He got involved with the wrong people who lead him into being remanded by the police and having several counts of GBH and Affray. He was as cold as ice, and basically had no heart. He got involved with group violence which made him fight for his own area which was Clapham. However, on a cold winter’s day he met Sarah, as their eyes stuck together as ice the first time they saw one another and that’s the moment where Mark decided to drop everything, his so called “boys”, the gang and the shotting.

...life Name Professor Course Title Date Assignment Chapter 16- Balancing Competing Demands of Work and Family The main focus of the chapter is the competing demands of paid work and family as single parenthood and dual-earner families replace the traditional family where the husband was the breadwinner while the wife was the homemaker. The competing demands of work and family are childcare, taking care of elderly parents, and the burden of being a single-parent. The chapter also looks at how the government can intervene to help workers balance the demands of work and family. The government reviews family friendly policies such as child care, family and medical leaves, and alternative work schedules. The Competing Demands of Work and Family Both two-earner and single-parent families are faced by conflicts in trying to balance the demands at work and family level. These demands include taking care of small children and elderly family members, and a host of other family obligations. Women that are employed and have families find it difficult to balance the demands because they have family obligations to honor before and after work. Women do more housework than men thus reducing their wages because of decreased time and energy for work. Women’s time is also consumed taking care of the elderly because the responsibility lies mostly in their part. In the U.S, the population of persons aged over 65 is expected to increase by 100 % by 2020 therefore placing more burdens on women...

...Children and Chores. Children and chores are, in my opinion, a good thing. There are several advantages to learning chores throughout youth. Children that learn to do chores growing up have an advantage for later in life. While children are young they can learn to do chores for after they move from their parents home. Chores such as; laundry, yard work and housework can prepare a child for life on their own. Laundry is a great chore for children. It gives them the opportunity to learn how to separate clothes into different loads such as; a white load. One would want to teach them that only white clothes go into that load. Otherwise you could end up with all pink clothing if a red sock were to get mixed in. It would bleed throughout the load and tint all the white clothes. It also gives them the chance to learn how to use the washing machine and the dryer. They can be shown which settings to use for the different loads. Using the dryer, then having them fold the laundry or hang it up will help when they are own their own at college or when they get married. Yard work is also a great chore for children. It gets them outside for exercise also. They can learn how to mow the lawn by learning to work the lawnmower. They can maybe help in a garden or flower bed by pulling weeds. In the fall, they can rake leaves into piles and put them into yard bags. Snow shoveling can be done in the winter, in addition to doing it for a chore they could...

...*PANIMULA* Akala ng marami, ang ‘housekeeping’ ay ginagawa at iniaaplay sa bahay lamang subalit ito ay mahalaga at may malaking epekto sa pagiging produktibo mo at ng iyong mga kasamahan sa trabaho o pangangalakal. Nakatutulong din ito sa paglago at sa kinikita ng iyong kumpanya o negosyo. Napananatili rin nito ang kaayusan at kagandahan ng ating kapaligiran upang makaakit ng mga kostumer at kliyente. Tandaan na ang kagandahan at kaayusan ng isang opisina o tindahan ang unang-unang makikita ng isang kostumer o kliyente bago pa man niya masubukan ang inyong produkto o serbisyo. Paano nga ba ang pagsasagawa ng ‘good housekeeping?’ Narito ang ilan sa mga paraan:Tingnan ang inyong kapaligiran. May mga bagay ba o mga kagamitang hindi na gaanong importante o hindi na kapaki-pakinabang at hindi na magandang tingnan dahil nakauubos ng mahalagang espasyo? Nakagugulo rin ang mga ito sa isip ng mga nagtatrabaho kaya maaari nang itapon. Tingnan kung paano nakaayos ang inyong mga gamit sa inyong opisina o maging sa inyong pabrika. Ang mga ito ba ay nakaayos nang tama? Sa isang simpleng negosyo kagaya ng sari-sari store, tama ba ang pagkakalagay ng inyong mga paninda? O baka naman naghalo ang mga sabon, mantika at diaper ng bata? Ayusin ang mga ito at planuhin kung saan ang tamang lugar na dapat paglagyan ng mga ito upang maging madali ang paghahanap, gayundin, madaling makita ng mga kostumer.Maglaan ng ilang minuto araw-araw para sa paglilinis upang hindi na gaanong dumami ang dumi...

...Human Experience - Relationships Tammy Johnson, Donna Washington, and Anthony Butler ENG/125 August 30, 2011 Carla Clemmons Human Experience - Relationships Relationships are part of everyone’s life and they are what make people who they are. Relationships influence an individual’s way of thinking and the way the act. Relationships can also be difficult to maintain. Relationships are a way of connecting with people that are close to you and that you care about. Everyone needs or wants to be loved and cared about at some point in their life. Personally experiencing another can be interesting and an essential part of life. * The readings that give examples of the human experience of relationships are “A Doll’s House,” Henrik Isben, “Woman’s Work,” Julia Alvarez and “On Going Home,” Joan Didion. In the drama “A Doll’s House,” the relationship between a husband and wife is played out. This play demonstrates the conflict of a wife deceiving her husband. It also shows different ways a husband treats his wife. Throughout the play, Nora is referred to as her husband’s “little Skylark” (Isben, 1879). The title of the play symbolizes the way Nora is treated and how her husband thinks of her. She is thought of like a mindless doll that is living in her “doll house” The irony in this play is that while Nora’s husband thinks she does not have a mind of her own, she takes it upon herself to go out and take a loan out to get her family through a rough time. The time...

...In Jessica Hemauer’s essay “Farm Girl”, Hemauer explains the good and the bad of having grown up on a farm. Hemauer shares her feelings of anger, sadness, and jealousy. Hemauer also shows us her gratitude as she reflects back. When Jessica was young she did not realize that all of her hard work and her fathers’ stern ways were indeed teaching her a very important lesson in life. She only felt the sadness of being different from her classmates, and that her responsibilities on the farm made it hard for her to get involved in school activities like her schoolmates. Every morning the “5:00 a.m. Beep! Beep! Beep!”(Hemauer) began the daily routine and list of chores that Jessica’s father had assigned for her and her siblings. Everyday Jessica had to make sure the calves were fed; the stalls were clean while her older brothers and sisters milked the cows. As Jessica got old older she learned how to manage her time well enough to get involved in school activities and keep up on her daily chores. Jessica was able to play sports, be involved in musicals and plays, and even become class president. Jessica states that every day she reflects on her family and the daily routines of working on the farm, and now that she is older she understands the lesson her father taught her. Jessica wasn’t just bottle feeding the calves, she was learning responsibility. When she was cleaning the stalls, she was learning to work hard, and when Jessica decided to get involved in school activities she...

...The Challenges of Cross-cultural Adjustment: A Study of Secondary Chinese Students in South Australia (Homestay Situation) Chong Zhou, Guiyun Chen Abstract In this study, the researcher intends to make some contributions to the research literature regarding the analysis of secondary students’ cross-cultural adjustment through investigating a group of Mainland Chinese students’ experiences in secondary schools in South Australia. The study explores the perceptions of Chinese students in a more naturalistic way through conversations with them in their own language. It focuses on the cultural challenges faced by these Chinese students and provides some insider’s knowledge about the underlying causes for these challenges and their coping strategies in the process of adjusting to living and learning in Australian culture. This paper, as part of the study, will particularly focus on the challenges involved in the homestay situation, the results of which indicated that the secondary school Chinese students at homestays were confronted with four broad categories of challenges: difficulties with food, English language, household chores and relationships with homestay hosts. The findings also uncovered the detailed basis of each of the students’ difficulties, providing some specific cultural information for educational practitioners to better understand secondary Chinese students in Australia.

...(e) Discuss the suggestion that the family has become more symmetrical (24 marks) AO1 Skill Knowledge and understanding = 8 marks AO2 Skill Identification, analysis, interpretation & evaluation = 16 marks According the recent media hype, the 1990’s have given birth to the phenomenon of the ‘new man’. This suggests that men are now doing more housework and childcare, while women are increasingly selling their labour in the labour market, and consequently contributing economically to family life. Willmott and Young predicted that the family, are becoming symmetrical. They claimed that the family has evolved from an institution based on patriarchy, to one characterised by equality and democracy. This essay will claim that, although relations in the family may have change the ‘new man’ and symmetrical family are nothing but an exaggerated myth. Willmot and Young argue that the family has changed from that of an industrial form, traditional Nuclear family to that of a modern form, symmetrical family. The Nuclear family is defined by specialised division of labour whereby the adult male sold his labour in the labour market in exchange for a wage, while his wife became primarily responsible for childcare and housework. In comparison the symmetrical family is an institution where partners play equal roles. This suggests that the family has evolved from having gender-segregated roles to joint-conjugal roles. Willmott and Young’s suggestions can be supported by the...
