...support the civil rights of workers in the 1980s, or the International Solidarity Movement currently working to resolve conflicts in the Middle East). In political settings, solidarity movements attempt to bring groups together by emphasizing their shared interests, values, and experiences. Intergenerational solidarity functions in a similar way by establishing connections between older and younger adults in an effort to strengthen the bonds between them and resolve differences. In a family context, intergenerational solidarity can be used to explore the behavioral patterns that parents and children use to maintain connections over time (Harwood, 2007, p. 120). Intergenerational...

...on psychodynamic (intergenerational and psychoanalytic) family therapies; and how these concepts apply to helping the protagonist in the major motion picture Antwone Fisher overcome traumatic incidents he experienced during his childhood and adolescent years, as well as help him to manage his current anger issues. Psychodynamics, in its broadest sense, is an approach to the study of human behavior that emphasizes the study and use of the psychological forces that underlie human behavior, feelings and emotions; how they relate to early childhood experiences . . . (Sher & Sher, 2015). Intergenerational and psychoanalytic family therapies can be described as an approach to the study of how a person’s maladaptive behavior is influenced by unresolved issues within the family dynamics and multigenerational processes. Psychodynamic (intergenerational and psychoanalytic) family therapies apply to the protagonist in the major motion picture Antwone Fisher because of the traumatic incidents he experienced during his childhood and adolescent years: childhood physical, sexual, and mental abuse; neglect and abandonment; death, grief, and loss; repressed emotions, identity and self-worth issues, interpersonal relationships, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These concepts also apply to Antwone because of current rage/anger issues he is exhibiting. According to the Association for Advanced Training in the Behavioral Sciences (2015, p. 18) psychodynamic family therapy combines...

...behalf, not any amount of guilt toward their parents touches the children and drives their motivation to obtain a dynamic which in turn can offer the immigrant parents some level of psychological control over their offspring. Growing up in the immigrant families is usually marked by discordant acculturation, when the children’s learning of new ways and simultaneous loss of immigrant culture outstrips that of parents. When this occurs, linguistic and cultural gaps among them can exacerbate the intergenerational conflicts; make the children feel ashamed of their parents as they attempt to blend with the native friends, and lead to reversal roles, as the children take up adult roles earlier by dint of situations. All families of immigrants must contend with “stress and storm†adolescence and “generation gapsâ€, and the acculturation to new society. This is often a conflictive and complex process that is full of fault lines that are non-reducible to simplistic elaborations of parental pressure or peer pressure. Nevertheless, at the heart of the matter is the relation between children and their immigrant parents, and contradictions which are engendered in the process. The intergenerational relations among the immigrant families are shaped and managed with divergent frameworks of incorporation and reception, and within differing sets of vulnerabilities and resources. Still, after putting into account the circumstances within which the children of immigrants are coming of age...

...Domestic violence or domestic abuse is the dirty little secret that some people in society want to ignore. Women hide behind dark glasses, makeup and lies to cover the secret of abuse out of shame, blame and fear. Domestic violence is a cycle of abuse that needs to be addressed. There needs to be more research on the cycle of abuse. Society needs to be educated on the effects of domestic violence and acknowledge that it is a societal problem because the abuser is not the only one abusing the victim. There has been focus on domestic violence when it occurs in the home, but the cycle of abuse is important as well to understand the etiology of domestic violence and find solutions to end this cycle of violence. According to the National Coalition on Domestic Violence, 1 out of 4 women are being abused. 1.3 million women are victims of domestic violence and is the number one reason that women end up in the emergency room with injuries with an average of 3 women a day victims of homicide as a result. Women between the ages of 20-24 are more likely to be victims of nonfatal injuries. Besides rape, domestic violence is underreported. Men are abused as well, but 85% women are victims of domestic violence. 30% to 60% of abusers will abuse children in the home. The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion a year. Children who witness domestic violence are more likely to repeat this cycle of abuse than those who do not and this is the continuation of...

...(Nguyen2011) In order to get a clear understanding of the dynamic of Vietnamese parents and youth in the U.S. it is imperative that the differences between the Eastern and Western cultures are implicated since most Vietnamese parents are immigrants whose Asian cultural background may have affected their cultural integration particularly in terms of the adoption of their parenting styles (Nguyen & Cheung, 2009). Because the traditional Vietnamese culture is communal in nature family interests often take precedence over personal concerns and where one’s primary duty is to the family linage (Nguyen, Messe, & Stollak, 1999). This traditional family linage is “characterized by a strong patrilineal structure and a certain order in family life” (Dinh & Nguyen, 2006, p.409). The...

...3 million men and 4 million women are victims of physical violence in the U.S every year and approximately a quarter of the women population and a seventh of the men population will experience severe domestic violence during their lifetime. (U.S. Department of justice report, 2000). With each awakening day, three women are killed by their former or current spouses. Every minute roughly 24 people will fall victim of physical violence, stalking and even rape by their intimate partners; over 10 million men and women within the course of every year. On average, health centers receive over 18 million mental health victims from abusive relationships every year. According to the U.S department of Housing and Urban development, Domestic violence has emerged as one of the leading causes of families’ homelessness; a third of the families in the New York family Shelter system remain adrift owing to domestic violence. Not surprisingly, children suffer the blow in equal measures. Annually, over 3 million children suffer the pain of witnessing domestic...

...Family and Gender CJS/230 Gender and Family CJS/240 Tiffiny West September 8, 2013 Nicole James Today the traditional family of two parents with the father working to provide and the mother at home caring for the children is occurring less often. Women and working more and spending less time with their children whereas men seem to be increasing the time they spend with their children. More children are also living with only one parent rather than two. Siegel & Welsh (2005) states that “as many as 40 percent of White children and 75 percent of African-American children will experience parental separation or divorce before they reach age sixteen…” (p. 157). Changes or disruption in the family unit has the potential to have a lasting effect on children. Primarily, children learn values and attitudes which guide their actions from their family unit. Many experts believe that a broken home can determine a child’s law abiding behavior. Several studies show that children who have been through family breakups are more prone to delinquency and hyperactivity. Blended families, or step-parent families, are occurring more often yet are less stable than biological families. Sociologist Sara McLanahan found that children who live with both biological parents do better than children who are raised without their biological father. These children are less likely to find and keep a job, finish high...

...same topic. By combining what worked in other studies model, this model is a strong reference point to build off. In the 66 studies analyzed, the researchers find that education has two main effects on income distribution; it reduces the share of wealth in the top, and increases poor peoples the share of wealth. This shows that education has a big influence on the lives of the poor and can be a powerful tool for changing inequality. Griliches and Mason come up with a similar regression model in 1972 on the relationship between education, income and ability. The variables they include are scores on a mental ability test, parental status, location where they grew up, school years completed before their service, and school years completed afterward. This study was data was collected from a group of post WWII veterans in 1964. They use the simple linear regression model that is as...

...Residential schooling and Indian Boarding schooling have both been used throughout Canada and America. It was said to be a solution for the “Indian problem”. For many others who attended, it was a time of abuse and desecration of culture. The first residential school opened in the 1800’s. Under the Indian Act, it became mandatory for every Indian child between the ages of 4 and 16 to attend a residential school or boarding school and it is illegal for them to attend any other educational institution. There are two objective views that the government wanted to establish with these schooling systems. The first one is to isolate the children from their families, so they can be converted and educated into the “white” culture. The second view is...

...Southeastern University Biblical Family Ministry Paper: Segmentation vs. Integration William Davis PMIN 3273 Professor Vasquez 17 September 2015 Biblical Family Ministry Paper: Segmentation vs. Integration Throughout history churches have always been segmented-programmatic to accommodate different ages individually in their own classrooms learning their own thing. A segmented-programmatic church means that the family is never together and are all learning something different. However, many churches have found that this method is becoming old and they are finding it to no longer work with today’s times. Researchers have shown that 70 percent of young people leave the church by age 22 this is because churches are failing to bring in young worshipers and keep new the old ones. Now, many churches are starting to lean towards a more family-integrated service. A family-integrated service is one in which all of the different classes you get with segmented model is eliminated. There is no youth group or children’s church, everything is done in the main sanctuary and the family is always together. The segmented-programmatic church model came out of the nineteenth century when school systems started putting students in tightly in tightly-graded classes. The church saw that this was a functioning model in society and they believe that it would work within their walls. The segmented-programmatic model has a couple good things that can come out of it; however, there are...

...The Psychological and Emotional Effects of Divorce in Adolescents Danielle Nicole Mickens Holmes Community College Abstract Lately there has been an increase in the divorce rates in the United States. While there may be ways to prevent it, it affects the lifestyles of adolescents’ and other people around them. Usually children and adolescents take divorce harder than the adults involved. This review shows how adolescents can be psychologically and emotionally affected by divorce. It also reviews how they may be able to cope during the process of divorce. The Psychological and Emotional Affects of Divorce in Adolescents “Till death do us part” are the vows people normally say when they get married. People often dream of a fairy tale wedding and they also believe that they have found what they may call their soul mates. Apparently as years go by, those vows and beliefs seems to decrease. Divorce is known as dissolving the legal union of marriage. And with that being said the divorce rate in the United States is the highest in the world. 50% of marriages end in divorce. However, children and adolescents that are involved in the divorce can be psychological and emotionally affected by it. Divorces can change a person’s lifestyle. (Wendel, 1997) One out of every two marriages that end in divorce includes children and adolescents. Research collected gives an understanding on how adolescents psychologically act, emotionally feel, and the resources they...

...Women’s Social Mobility in the United States of America We live in a world full of obstacles where it’s said that the one who is born poor will remain poor. Like many other country in the world the United States of America is also struggling with the difficulties regarding social mobility. The American dream is that the poorest suburban person can be a rich person too and America is the home and land of unlimited possibilities. The main idea is that if you work hard enough you can make it to the top. Is it true for everyone? Can women make it to the top? But before I start my essay on Women’s Social Mobility in the United States of America let me clarity certain definitions. The concept of social mobility has two main meanings: a) in the narrow sense, represents the moving in a stratification system, b) broadly refers to the space movement (territorial mobility) and / or change of employment (or mobility fluctuation labor). Studies (theoretical and empirical) say that social mobility can be placed in three categories: - those using a hierarchy criteria, tracking movements between strictly hierarchical layers. It’s the American tradition, which uses the social status as a hierarchical criteria. - those who use as a classification criteria exclusively the individual’s occupation, this leading to the establishment of a social space consisting some number of socio-professional categories: tradition - those using as a criteria social classes and social strata. Here fall particularly...
