What "family problems" do people see from the conservative point of view? What about the liberal point of view? What about the radical-left point of view? How would each political position define solutions to family problems?
What is an Ideal response?
• Radical-Left View: Family life is bound up with inequality based on class, gender, and sexual orientation. All these types of inequality are unjust.
• Liberal View: Tolerance for the broad range of family life in today's society; efforts to impose any model of an "ideal family" limit people's choices; poverty among women and children is a serious problem.
• Conservative View: Conventional families are breaking down. Divorce, single parenting, and living together without marriage are symptoms of a "me first" culture that weakens society and places children at risk.
