Document Summary
We had a crash course in political sociology. We learned about weberian and marxist theories of the state. We were introduced to foucault and learned a bit about his ideas about power. We then turned our attention to the family. We discussed how our understanding about what makes a family has changed over time. We also discussed how our views about the family may be different based on where you. This week, we focus on gender grew up, your cultural background, and so forth. Last, we discussed trends in marriage and families based on last weeks reading. Tends to be based on biological, hormonal physical or physiological differences between males and females. This including both primary sexcharacteristics (the reproductive system) and secondary characteristics such as height and muscularity. No because there are people are intersex, and getting down to the science, they are not two concrete sexes. Gender tends to be associated with one sense of being male or female.
