Document Summary
The book "in the name of the father" traces the evolution of divorce laws in canada and the coining of the term "custody laws". He believes each year tens of thousands of canadian children suffer through marriage breakdowns and this affects them emotionally and mentally: 6) childless families have increased and that the fertility rate is below replacement levels. "raising adults", analyze your family or a family you know well. Discuss two points you observe that convince you the family is largely patriarchal and failing or democratic and succeeding at raising adults. Their responsibilities exercised within the family unit are clearly underlined. Conway"s first definition of family is more traditional, is exclusively heterosexual, meaning it requires a man making it inherently patriarchal. The second definition, is simpler family is a relationship some permanence between or amongst persons with or without children. More conducive to the modern world we live in.
