Family Sociology

In the fall of 1952, a courageous 18-year-old Roberta boarded a Greyhound bus in Missouri to start her new adventure to train as a nurse in Oklahoma. While in training, she falls in love with and marries a World War II soldier. The new couple moves to his cotton farm in rural Oklahoma and starts their life as a family. As the story develops, it proves how Roberta-Mama's early years in Missouri influenced her Oklahoma life and how it helped bond her family together.

President Obama's goal is to create a two-class society: the poor and the super-rich. Decades of liberals - and even a few supposed "Republicans" - have helped push America toward this goal, and President Obama hopes to finish their work. Why? Because this two-class society cements the crony capitalism that feeds big government and keeps corrupt big shots like Obama and his friends in power, permanently enshrined as the ruling class. Meanwhile, it keeps everyone else hooked on the government like a drug that's impossible to quit.

Over the past three decades, our daily lives have changed slowly but dramatically. Boundaries between leisure and work, public space and private space, and home and office have blurred and become permeable. How many of us now work from home, our wireless economy allowing and encouraging us to work 24/7? How many of us talk to our children while scrolling through e-mails on our BlackBerrys? How many of us feel overextended, as we are challenged to play multiple roles - worker, boss, parent, spouse, friend, and client - all in the same instant?

Dalton Conley, social scientist and writer, provides us with an X-ray view of our new social reality. In Elsewhere, U.S.A., Conley connects our daily experience with occasionally overlooked sociological changes: women's increasing participation in the labor force; rising economic inequality generating anxiety among successful professionals; the individualism of the modern era - the belief in self-actualization and expression - being replaced by the need to play different roles in the various realms of one's existence. In this groundbreaking book, Conley offers an essential understanding of how the technological, social, and economic changes that have reshaped our world are also reshaping our individual lives.

Hat deine Ur-Ur-Uroma eigentlich schon an Sex gedacht? Klar, denn sonst wärst du heute wahrscheinlich nicht hier! Sicher hat sie anders geflirtet als die heutige Jugend. Aber die Menschen waren früher längst nicht so prüde, wie wir manchmal denken. Liebe, Sex und nackte Körper gab es schon immer. Aber wie darüber gesprochen, gemalt und geurteilt wurde, das verändert sich im Lauf der Geschichte immer wieder. Die Ethnologin Elin Hägg nimmt uns mit auf eine erstaunliche Reise durch die (abendländische) Geschichte der Ideen, Religionen und Machtverhältnisse – immer in Bezug auf deren Auswirkungen auf das Sexleben.

La maternidad suele glorificarse y asociarse a emociones positivas: la felicidad de anunciar el embarazo, las lágrimas al cargar por primera vez al bebé, el orgullo de ver crecer a los hijos. En consecuencia, el arrepentimiento de ser madre parece un tema prohibido, porque una podría arrepentirse de no haber tenido hijos o de haber perdido uno; pero no de haberlos tenido. Stéphanie Thomas reflexiona sobre esa zona oscura y llena de preguntas dela maternidad a partir de los testimonios de diez mujeres en diferentes contextos y situaciones sociales.

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

Good communication creates an environment of safety, love, and respect.
