SOC 305 - History and Image of the American Family

Institution:

Antioch University-Seattle

Subject:

Description:

The social meanings of the American family in the late 20th/early 21st century. Contrary to the popular notion of a traditional family, the structures of American families have, historically, varied a great deal, as have their composition, the functions of their members and the values underlying those features. Students examine how the family has been "mythified" within popular films andhow public figures have both invoked and reinvented these representations in their attempt to shape society. HS; PSY; SOJ
