Argue for or against Talcott Parsons' assertion that families function best when men assume instrumental roles and when women assume expressive roles
What will be an ideal response?
The student should either promote or negate Parsons' perspective that families are best served by hard-working, self-confident, and competitive males as breadwinners and nurturing and supportive females as homemakers, especially as these roles apply to the three primary functions of families: to ensure that society has an ongoing supply of new members and to be a source of socialization, to provide economic support for family members, and to provide emotional support for family members.
