...Family as a Social Institution SOC101 By Joshua Simpson If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother, and the teacher. (Abdul Kalam) For this paper I will be explaining how the American family is a social institution and the struggles that come along with it. I will be focusing on the American family and its traditions and also how divorce impacts the family and community. The American family can limit social contact but I can also flourish through the family. The modern American family as a social institution can be taken in many different ways. In some the typical American family known as nuclear (mother, father, and kids) is declining. The other type of family is extended or encompassing other relatives. These families are also called traditional families because these families are what Americans have come accustomed to. Thus because families are growing and allowing extended family in. another reason why they are declining because families are becoming one parent and the children or spit parents and the children live with extended family. Many people do not agree with this conclusion because there have not been any studies to show this but from observation and a look around your own community I sure you can find one of these untraditional families. There are many factors that contribute to families breaking up and becoming...

...Family ch Soc101 Instructor Miriane Portes January 22, 2014 The Social Institution of the Family Society is that complex social group of human beings that share an identity inhabiting active relationships and a unique culture. Those members of a society classify themselves through that society and work together with other members to ensure that the rules, generally agreed upon by all members to preside over how they relate to each other, are in place. Sociological perspectives are viewpoints from which we study and understand society. There are varied sociological perspectives available to social scientists for the purpose of study. What sociological perspective is used depends on the theories and purposes one needs for their study. I am going to show how functionalism, Conflict theory, and Social Interactionism can be used to study the social unit of the family Functionalism looks at the family as if it was one automatic unit with every member of the family having a role and a function affecting the whole. Take for example; the father who is traditionally head of the household who’s primary function is to provide for economical and financial needs for his wife and children. The wife who is supporter of the husband and nurture to the children, the children are dependent on their parents but also have an important role as well. These roles vary according to the age of the children and their stage in life. In the...

...Casey Kerstetter Education SOC101: Introduction to Sociology (ACK1219E) Instructor: Lynn Ma June 11, 2012 The sociology of education is the study of how public institutions and individual experiences affect education and its outcomes. It is most concerned with the public schooling systems of modern industrial societies, including the expansion of higher, further, adult, and continuing education.(Wikipedia) The sociology of education also provides all students with a rewarding educational experience; the focus should be on integration of the social, intellectual, and emotional components of learning by linking home and school experiences and incorporating a curriculum that addresses students' diversity and different learning styles. Functions of Education in Society include. Assimilation and transmission of culture/traditions: This needs to be done consciously and selectively because traditions need to be selected for transmission as well as omission depending on their value and desirability in today‘s democratic set-up. We need to teach children self-esteem and self-efficacy. The other Education Society include: The functionalist theory focuses on the ways that universal education serves the needs of society. Functionalists first see education in its manifest role: conveying basic knowledge and skills to the next generation. Durkheim the founder of functionalist theory identified the latent role of education as one of socializing people into society's mainstream. Functionalists...

...Education and Its Impact as a Social Entity SOC101: Introduction to Sociology Education and Its Impact as a Social Entity When I think of a social structure in its entirety or as a sum of its parts, I think first of education. How we educate our young sets the ground work for how and what our nation becomes in the future. Without a firm cohesive understanding of how and what we are teaching our children and the purpose of those teachings, we can never truly advance as a culture. As with any aspect of society, the first step in correcting something that is damaged or ineffectual is to first acknowledge that there is a problem. Education is a vital element in society because it is a major influence in the development of our children and how they react to society as adults. There has been a shift in how schools function within our society. The standards of a school are greatly affected by the environment that the children find themselves in on regular basis. In order for a child to perform at the peak of their athletic ability certain things must be done prior to an event, such as a solid night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast, and proper training. The same is just as important to a child’s academic performance. Academic success cannot be achieved unless they have the proper preparation, such as a solid 8 hours of sleep each night, healthy food to eat on a regular basis, and the stability of a safe and secure environment. “In recent years, bullying has risen to heights...
