The family is the most significant unit for impacting the young. No significant morals can be realized without sufficient family impact on the children. In most countries, the family is the primary unit through which socialization takes place. INTRODUCTION 11/28/23 2 M ut k en Technologies
Patriarchy as a Major Contributor to Family Strife 4 Most men still think they should be the head of their households, and they earn far more money than their wives. When wives challenge this archaic viewpoint, it may cause friction in the home. Conflict theorists agree that families play these pivotal roles, but they argue that the functional approach overlooks or minimizes problems inside the family unit. M ut k en Technologies 11/28/23

Social Functions of the Family The functional perspective emphasizes that social institutions perform several important functions to help preserve social stability and otherwise keep a society working. A functional understanding of the family thus stresses the ways in which the family as a social institution helps make society possible. As such, the family performs several important functions. 11/28/23 8 M ut k en Technologies
Family Stability: Socializing the Children 11/28/23 9 M ut k en Technologies The family is the primary unit for socializing children. No society is possible without adequate socialization of its young. In most societies, the family is the major unit in which socialization happens. Parents, siblings, and, if the family is extended rather than nuclear, other relatives all help socialize children from the time they are born.

Family Conflict Solution: Spouse Togetherness When spouses have different ideas about what a marriage and family should be like, it may lead to friction, according to the symbolic interactionist perspective. If the differences between partners are too great and the spouses are unable to work together to resolve them, marital strife and even divorce may result (Kaufman & Taniguchi, 2006). 11/28/23 11 M ut k en Technologies

Challenges to Curbing Family Conflicts: Poverty Low-income parents are much less likely to read and speak regularly to their infants and young children, who thus are slower to develop cognitive and reading skills; this problem in turn impairs their school performance when they enter elementary school. Low-income families are much more likely to experience negative events, such as death, poor health, unemployment, divorce, and criminal victimization. 11/28/23 13 M ut k en Technologies

Running Family Businesses A family company is often founded by a parent or parents and then handed down to the next generation, who must learn to collaborate well with each other. Siblings often form partnerships in the business world. Of course not! These days it's hard to tell people you trust them, but siblings should be safe bets, right? 11/28/23 15 M ut k en Technologies
In-Law Related Conflicts The situation is so commonplace at this point that it's a cliché. Those who have to deal with in-law conflicts know all too well how genuine and unrelenting the burden can be. Family personality conflicts, such as those between mothers and daughters or between mothers and sons, are common when a new adult or set of parents joins an existing family. You can't deny that they're head over heels for one other... 11/28/23 16 M ut k en Technologies

Solution to All Types of Family Conflicts There is no quick answer for resolving family disputes. Sometimes, one determined family member may take the reins in resolving family dispute, leading to amicable resolutions that benefit everyone involved. However, families seldom manage to work out their differences on their own. After internal efforts to resolve a family dispute have failed, it may be time to bring in a professional who specializes in handling such cases. 11/28/23 17 M ut k en Technologies
Conclusion Conclusion There is a vast spectrum of possible conflicts in contemporary life, and family conflicts are only one example. There are, of course, a lot of things that may go wrong in a marriage, but that's a topic for a separate (and much longer) post. As a result, the emphasis of this essay is on the most typical causes of tension between relatives who are not married to each other. This may lead to tensions between adults who grew up together, as well as between parents and offspring. Therefore, why do members of the same family often end up fighting? Seven of the most frequent points of contention between relatives are listed here. 11/28/23 18 M ut k en Technologies
