SOC201 Numerous Dimensions of Family Life in United States
SOC201, Numerous, Dimensions, Family, Life, United, States
Your Final Exam is a comprehensive examination of the course material. Please be sure to review the content for all 8 modules as you prepare to complete the final exam. The final exam addresses all six course outcomes.
Your Final Exam will consist of FOUR essay questions. Each essay answer should address the question prompt completely and should consist of approximately 500 words of text (approximately 2 pages of double-spaced and 12-point font of text). Be sure to carefully cite supporting evidence and sources within each answer.
Before you begin writing, it is recommended that you outline each essay and locate the evidence you will use to support your argument. The body of each essay should be your presentation of evidence, organized carefully to support any theoretical insight and empirical analysis that is relevant and can be mustered.
Your work should demonstrate your considered reflection on the material we have covered in the course. The final exam questions tap into all your newly acquired knowledge and allow you to examine multiple dimensions of family life in the United States, using evidence drawn from throughout the whole of the course.
Thus, the quality of your work will depend on the care with which you plan your responses and show the breadth and depth of your knowledge (i.e., avoid making general assertions about families unless you have the evidence to back them up; also, be sure to consider possible counter-arguments where applicable).
You are required to answer any FOUR of the NINE questions below in order to receive full credit.
Each essay response to the questions below should be approximately 2 pages (500 words) in length, not including references (be sure to identify which number question your essay responds to).
Question 1: Marital Happiness and Marital Quality
Differentiate between marital quality and marital happiness. In your opinion can a couple have marital happiness without marital quality? Why? Do you feel marital quality is enhanced or deterred when the first baby arrives? Explain.
Question 3: Social Construction of Gender
Compare and contrast gender stratification in the family structures of the 18th century North American colonies and/or 19th century America with the gendered family arrangements of the U.S. in 2011. Identify and explain positive or negative elements of gender identity in these family structures.
In your analysis, be sure to consider all the ramifications of gender. For example, how have inequalities between men and women shaped work-family conflict, domestic violence, care for aging parents, cohabitation, and/or marriage/divorce/remarriage and the evolution of stepfamilies?
Do you think women’s positions in the family have remained more or less the same, improved over time, declined over time, or a combination? How have men’s family roles evolved over time? Have they become more or less responsible for the welfare of their families? Or have their responsibilities simply changed? Have men also been victims of gender stratification?
Question 7: Family Institutional Strength
Is the American family today a weak or strong institution? Is it a bulwark against potentially destructive forces in the outside society, or is it overwhelmed by those forces? Base your response on a careful analysis of the interaction between American families and at least three of the following six social forces:
Racial and ethnic identity
Social class
Economic change since the 1970s
Question 4: Race, Gender and Immigration in Families
Discuss challenges that immigrant and racial/ethnic families face as they integrate into middle class American society. Identify and discuss factors which can cause conflict among the different generations of these families, and between these families and American social institutions dominated by the elite and the middle class.
How do you think these conflicts can be reasonably resolved? In what ways do these diverse families “go mainstream”? What are the divergent paths along which they develop?
