Families and Households: Key Perspective Overview
S

@sophiexox
1 / 7
Functionalism and the Family
Think of society like a human body - every part needs to work together to keep the whole thing alive. That's exactly how functionalists see families, using what they call the organic analogy to explain how social institutions support each other.
Murdock studied 250 different societies and found nuclear families everywhere, leading him to identify four key functions: managing the sex drive, reproduction, meeting economic needs, and socialisation. Meanwhile, Parsons focused on just two crucial roles: primary socialisation (teaching kids society's rules) and stabilising adult personalities through his famous warm bath theory.
This warm bath theory suggests that women naturally take expressive roles (emotional support) whilst men handle instrumental roles (breadwinning). The family becomes a safe haven where stressed workers can recharge and feel secure.
Quick Check: Durkheim argued that social solidarity (people sticking together) was essential for society to function properly.
However, this rosy picture ignores some harsh realities. Many couples now share both breadwinning and emotional responsibilities, and functionalists completely overlook family problems like domestic violence and women's exploitation. Their theories feel quite outdated when most women are now breadwinners themselves.
Marxism and Family Structure
Here's where things get political - Marxists see families as part of capitalism's grand plan to keep the rich in power. They divide society into two parts: the economic base (who owns the factories, land, and means of production) and the superstructure (institutions like family, education, and media).
Karl Marx founded this theory, but Althusser and Engels developed the family angle. They argue that families brainwash children into accepting inequality as normal - this false class consciousness stops workers from rebelling against their exploitation. The nuclear family only emerged because capitalism needed it.
Zaretsky claimed families offer an illusion of escape from capitalist exploitation, like a fake holiday from reality. Meanwhile, the bourgeoisie (ruling class) use families to control the proletariat (working class) by making them think hierarchy is inevitable.
Reality Check: Engels believed people only started forming nuclear families when private property became important under capitalism.
Critics argue that Marxists ignore family diversity and the fact that people often marry for love, not economic reasons. Their focus on class conflict also overlooks how women's roles have dramatically changed in the 21st century.
Feminist Perspectives on Family
Feminists aren't having any of the "happy family" narrative - they see families as places where gender inequality thrives and women get a raw deal. Unlike other theories, feminism comes in different flavours, each with its own take on what's wrong.
Radical feminists blame patriarchy entirely, seeing men as the enemy and family as an institution designed to benefit men. Marxist feminists point fingers at capitalism, arguing that women serve as a "reserve army of cheap labour" whilst absorbing their husbands' work frustrations. Liberal feminists like Somerville are more optimistic, believing laws like the Sex Discrimination Act are gradually improving things.
Oakley famously argued that housework is real work - it's just unpaid, undervalued, and overwhelmingly done by women. Fran Ansley developed the idea that wives "soak up" their husbands' anger from workplace exploitation, essentially becoming emotional punch bags.
Food for Thought: The "myth of symmetrical family" suggests that despite claims of equality, women still carry a dual burden of work and domestic responsibilities.
Critics argue that feminists focus too much on traditional nuclear families and ignore that some women choose expressive roles or that domestic violence isn't universal. They also overlook situations where women abuse men or serve as primary breadwinners.
Personal Life Perspective
Forget blood relations and marriage certificates - the Personal Life Perspective (PLP) says families are whatever people decide they are. This approach celebrates free will and argues that you can't understand relationships without knowing what they mean to the people involved.
The PLP absolutely slates structural theories like functionalism, Marxism, and feminism for being obsessed with traditional nuclear families. Instead, they focus on how families change throughout someone's life course and recognise the choices people make in creating their own definitions of family.
This perspective highlights both the positive and negative sides of intimate relationships. Yes, families provide belonging and relatedness, but they also acknowledge that biological families can involve abuse and unhappiness - relatedness isn't always sunshine and rainbows.
Modern Example: Nordqvist and Smart's 2014 study found that parents of donor-conceived children valued social bonds over genetic ones when forming family relationships.
The strength of this approach lies in understanding how people actually construct their family relationships rather than imposing outdated sociological definitions. It's refreshingly honest about the complexity of modern relationships and doesn't try to force everyone into the same box.
Postmodernism and Family Choice
Welcome to the "supermarket of life" - postmodernists believe you can pick and mix relationships like choosing breakfast cereal. They reject the idea that any single family type dominates and argue that rapid social change makes grand theories pointless.
Stacey discovered that greater freedom has liberated many women from patriarchal oppression, leading to incredibly varied life paths and new family forms like "divorce extended families" (people who help each other despite not being related by blood or marriage). The key themes are diversity, consumer choice, and freedom from traditional structures.
Media saturation and online dating have created new relationship norms - if someone doesn't meet your exact requirements, you can simply move on to someone who does. Meanwhile, changes to work patterns have destroyed the traditional male breadwinner role, with people spending longer training for careers and changing jobs frequently.
Reality Check: Late modernists argue that whilst people have more freedom, social structures still heavily influence family decisions.
Critics suggest postmodernists overestimate how much choice people actually have. Most people still want stable, long-term relationships, but the pressures of modern life make this difficult to achieve. People don't necessarily "choose" divorce or singleness - life circumstances often push them into these situations.
Interpretivist Approaches
Interpretivists take a completely different angle - they're not interested in big theories about society, but in understanding how individuals make sense of their social world through interactions and meanings. Think small-scale, personal encounters rather than grand social structures.
Charles Cooley developed the "looking glass self" concept, arguing that we understand ourselves through how others react to us - basically, we see ourselves reflected in other people's responses. Goffman took this further with his dramaturgical model, suggesting we're all actors performing different roles depending on our social context, keeping our "true self" backstage.
Symbolic interactionism focuses on how people interpret signs and symbols in social situations. Our behaviour isn't instinctive - it's a process of reading social cues based on experience, and these interpretations can vary dramatically depending on the context.
Key Insight: Labelling theory suggests that individuals often react to being viewed a certain way by others, which can actually influence their behaviour and self-concept.
The strength of interpretivism lies in its focus on individual agency and meaning-making. However, critics argue it ignores broader social structures and power inequalities that shape people's choices and interactions in the first place.
New Right Perspectives
The New Right are the traditionalists of sociology - they firmly believe there's only one "correct" family type: the traditional nuclear family. They see family roles as natural and biological rather than socially constructed, making them a distinctly conservative, right-wing approach to family sociology.
New Right thinkers emphasise four main principles: individual freedom with minimal state involvement, reduced welfare spending, free market competition, and the importance of traditional institutions and values. They argue that the nuclear family is society's "cornerstone" and that family diversity threatens social stability.
Their concerns focus on women's careers disrupting traditional roles, the rise of single-parent families creating an underclass, and what they call "dependency culture" where people rely too heavily on welfare benefits instead of traditional family support.
Supporting Evidence: They point out that children from broken homes are five times more likely to develop emotional problems, and lone-parent families are twice as likely to live in poverty.
Critics argue the New Right exaggerates the decline of nuclear families and ignores that easier divorce actually helps women escape unhappy or abusive relationships. They also overlook that most single parents want to work but struggle with childcare and job flexibility, rather than deliberately depending on welfare.
