Expert Solution

Introduction

Society is not a homogenous unit, rather it is heterogenous, and this heterogeneity is reflected most powerfully in the differences between generations. Grandparents, parents and children reflect three generations who are different in their ages, outlook and many other factors. Often such differences become a source of conflict as we see in the case of Marley. In contemporary society though violence withing a family is strictly condoned, and legal provisions exist to identify and punish such families of responsible family members. A Child Protection Worker is one such social worker who is appointed by the state for the benefit of children and families who are undergoing strain, tension and hardship of one way or the other.
