Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow

Every family experiences conflict in its own way Disagreements are a normal part of being

a family and living together Family discord is often a result of different personalities, misunderstandings and stressful family issues Understanding that conflict is normal is the first

step in learning to deal with these situations It is important for families to learn appropriate

ways to deal with problems that will promote growth and cohesion

Parental Conflict

Parental conflict is common in many families and often leads to friction involving the entire family Most parental problems revolve around financial matters, infidelity, different views regarding child rearing and family decision making Homes with high levels of parental conflict

often have a tense and hostile environment that can have negative effects on the children A 1998

study published in "Family Relations" found that children in high-conflict families demonstrated lower levels of well-being in internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors and conflict with peers

Poor Family Communication

Another type of family conflict is lack of proper communication In today's society, many families communicate superficially and don't have time to share meaningful conversations The conflict in this arrangement is that there are no opportunities to discuss family values, issues and other important topics; this often leads to disagreements Communication conflicts are also present in families that lack healthy communication skills and engage in yelling, cursing, blaming and insulting

Parent-Child Power Struggles

A parent-child power struggle can create conflict and stress for the entire family Having a

child who wants to control the parent leads to increased parent frustration and decreased patience when dealing with other family members The other children often feel that the defiant child is receiving more attention and may start acting out themselves Power struggles frequently result from different parent and child temperaments or difficult developmental stages, such as the

"terrible twos" or adolescence

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow.

The nuclear family is the traditional family structure in the West This term, originating in

the 1950s, describes families consisting of a father, a mother, and their offspring Under this

structure, the family is seen as the basic unit in society; the father functions as the breadwinner

and the mother as the homemaker Nowadays, alternative family types are becoming more

prevalent, such as single-parent families, families headed by same-sex parents, and extended families where families live with their kin, which may include several generations Extended families are less common in North America, where it is not uncommon to place grandparents in retirement homes

A Social Trends survey in 2009 reported radical changes in child rearing and marriage

practices in the United Kingdom Figures showed that while 30 percent of women under thirty had given birth by the age of 25, only 24 percent had tied the knot This marked the first time childbirth had become the first major milestone in adult life, ahead of marriage In 1971 in the U.K, 3/4 of women were married by the age of 25 and half were mothers

Judging by the high rates of divorce and the increasing number of children born out of wedlock, it would appear that the family as an institution is in decline American sociologist Stephanie Coontz believes so too, but for different reasons Coontz points out that marriages are

no longer arranged for political or economic reasons, and children are no longer required to contribute to the family income Marriages nowadays are founded on love She believes this shift towards love and free choice has actually weakened both the family by making it optional and the bond between the husband and wife by making it contingent on emotional fulfillment
