Done By: Cindy Hill & Jasmine Kaur
Due to the fact that there was a consensus taken, it can be drawn that the theory was descriptive. There were no biases applied in the study of this theory to show how a family and society in general should/ is suppose to function. The details in this theory were solely based upon studies done that show how it is that most happy successful/ families come about being the way that they are... THROUGH WORKING TOGETHER.
Education as an institution:
Education brings together many people. These people learn to get along in their schools and by getting along 90% of the time they end up having to work together to help each other achieve their goals. Education allows people to train for their future roles in society.
Institution:
A well-established and structured pattern of behavior or of relationship that is accepted as a fundamental part of culture, as marriage. Ex. The institution of the family.
Interdependence:
the quality or condition of being interdependent, or mutually reliant on each other
Politics and law as institutions:
The law is all about authority, it commands respect; this relates to the theory because majority of people believe it to be good and beneficial for the safety of people because it helps to gain/ achieve collective goals. Politics is important because it shows a system of order, there is always a political system established anywhere in the world that you go.
Family as an institution:
Family is the primary part of socialization; it helps to shape children from young ages into men and women who would be beneficial to society. They are the building blocks for the way that our future gets mapped out. Families work together to provide the emotional stability of the individuals within that unit; families function by working together.
Consensus- Values:
Value consensus ensures that people have shared: - Goals, Roles and Norms.
