Compare and contrast the conservative, liberal, and feminist approaches to families and family change. Which perspective makes most sense to you, and why?

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Conservative: Cultural and moral weakening leads to family breakdown, which leads to social problems like poverty and crime.
2. Liberal: Changing economic structure leads to changing family and gender roles, which leads to diverse effects and an underclass.
3. Feminist: There is a lack of cooperation among the community, family, and work, which results in families where adults are stressed and overburdened, resulting in children lacking sufficient care and attention from parents.
