SO 332 - Marriage and the Family

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This course takes a close look at marriage, family, and alternative lifestyles. A major theme of the course is the tension between individuals and the societal environment in which they make their decisions. Increasing flexibility forces individuals to make many difficult choices with regard to family values and personal autonomy: often these decisions are being made in the context of conflicting cultural values. Another focus of the course is the shift from viewing marriage as an institution to viewing it as a relationship in which the partners expect to find companionship and intimacy.
