Description:

This course takes a look at marriage, family, and alternative life styles at the end of the twentieth century. It provides an in-depth study of male and female interaction and balances research and theory with the practical examination of personal choice and decision-making. Students will examine the tension between the individual and the societal environment, and the existence of contradictory cultural values. The shift in focus that is taking place from viewing marriage as an institution to viewing it as a relationship in which one expects to find companionship and |intimacy will also be explored.
