Chapter+16+Marriage+and+the+Family

Marriage and the family is one of many social institutions which nearly all people will have experienced at least once in their lives. Therefore, it is of major importance to our study of society, and of sociology.

Now is a time to take a pole on sex and sexuality. Primarily you will be asked questions regarding premarital sex, teen-age sex, and extra-marital sex. At the end of the opinion pole there is a short written assignment. The grade is out of 10 marks. It will be placed as a participation grade. Go to http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_henslin_sociology_8/43/11213/2870609.cw/index.html to complete this assignment. From this main page scroll down the column on the left and find "Sociology By the Numbers". Go here and open the window. Then scroll down till you find "Trends and Correlates...". Pick this and complete the questions there. These should be sent to me by the beginning of your next class. Marriage performs many functions in human society. Now you will need to read your text pp. 453-456 and complete the questions on this handout Notes for this class:
 * __Lesson 1__**
 * __Lesson 2__**

__**Lesson 3**__ Ultimately, many marriages create children. Indeed, that is one of the primary functions of marriage. But parenthood is not without its challenges. Though to many of you the film I am asking you to watch may seem old, 1988, its message resonates through all periods of time. The family dynamic faces several challenges and conflicts. Some in the film you will identify with; some will be totally foreign to you. I know you will enjoy the film. Be sure to complete the project assignment that follows. media type="youtube" key="lCxZ26G2GII" height="344" width="425"
