    22. Family and Culture Chapter 7 22 06/03/2012 Giddens’ Conclusions

    23. Family and Culture Chapter 7 23 06/03/2012 Conclusions The functionalist ‘warm-bath’ image of the family is increasingly questioned as naďve. Marxists, Radical Psychiatrists and feminists are critical of the family. They all see the family as preventing the individual from achieving personal freedom in different ways. R.D. Laing sees the inward-looking privatised family as a cause of mental illness. Edmund Leach sees the modern family as stifling and claustrophobic.

    24. Family and Culture Chapter 7 24 06/03/2012 Conclusions (continued) David Cooper sees the family as a dangerous socialising agency creating over-obedient citizens. Even the functionalists Vogel and Bell recognise family dysfunctions with children used as emotional scapegoats. 1 in 10 women experience domestic violence in their life, 1 in 4 every year. In 45 to 70 per cent, the father inflicts violence on the children as well as the mother.

    25. Family and Culture Chapter 7 25 06/03/2012 Conclusions (continued) NSPCC highlight how child abuse is mainly bullying. But two children die a day in Britain because of abuse or neglect. Anthony Giddens argues the family reflects wider changes in society. He argues a return to the traditional family is neither possible nor desirable.
