KEY ASSUMPTIONS Every social system needs to achieve a state of order or system equilibrium. Institutions help make that happen. All of our norms, values, roles, and institutions can be classified on the basis of the following expressive and instrumental variables: Ascription and Achievement Affectivity and Affective Neutrality Diffuseness and Specificity Particularism and Universalism Collectivity and Self

THE FUNCTIONS OF FAMILIES To regulate sexual activity To ensure that new babies survive to become adult members of the society To ensure that children are socialized into the norms and values of society To provide “economic” support for family members To satisfy our emotional needs for love and security To provide us with a sense of place and position The “Benchmark” Family Is The Traditional Intact Nuclear Family Of A Breadwinner Husband, Homemaker Wife, And Their Children (Preferably A Boy And A Girl)
