This chapter explores the significance of younger generations in changing their parents' and grandparents' perspectives, moving beyond common conceptualisations of the one-directional sharing of values and practices from older to younger generations. Drawing on the interview data, it focuses on the synergistic learning experiences described by parents and grandparents. The chapter looks at how conversations with younger generations can prompt reflection on deeply held values and attitudes, and can contribute to a shift in perspectives. Most notably, it details how the rising prominence of environmental concerns has been brought to the attention of older family members, and how environmentalism is brought into the family home via knowledges and practices learnt by younger family members in the classroom. The chapter also considers how discussions with children and grandchildren present an opportunity for parents and grandparents to 'update' their perspectives on gender and sexuality.

AbstractThe article discusses the image of the family and the family home in a series of novels for young people by the popular Polish writer Małgorzata Musierowicz in the context of literary conventions and stereotypes about the family in contemporary Polish society. The novels, which cover a period of over 40 years, generally fit contemporary Polish realities; however, the didactic function of the novels results in the author creating an idealized image of the Polish intellectual family, filling the readers with optimism. The picture created by the writer, on the one hand, fits perfectly into the stereotype of the family, which is one of the values highly esteemed by Poles. On the other hand, it adapts to the conventions of novels for girls. In this article, the stereotype of the family is reconstructed on the basis of language data and surveys. We present the meanings and contexts of family as a noun and family as an adjective. We also present the results of our survey, the aim of which was to determine an essence of a stereotypical family and how the traditional family model is comprehended by respondents coming from various groups. We also present the respondents’ attitude to the patriarchal family model and the division of roles into male and female. In our opinion, the correspondence between the family picture created in the novels and the image of the family operating in social consciousness is the reason for the popularity of the series.

For many people, whether or not they enjoy an interest in the family home is fundamental to their sense of security, stability, and even their sense of self. However, a person may find themselves in a position where they are neither the registered legal owner of property nor do they enjoy an equitable interest under an express trust of land. This chapter examines how a person may acquire an interest in the family home through operation of the law of implied trusts: constructive and resulting trusts. It focuses on non-married, non-civilly partnered, cohabiting couples, or family members otherwise coming together to purchase property as a home. For these people, no legislation exists that gives courts jurisdiction to declare and adjust property interests. In this situation, the courts turn to the law of trusts to determine rights in the home, as this chapter explores.

An acute injury in which a family member requires critical care creates a period of intense stress for families. During such time, family members are often faced with decisions about the patient or the family. The ability of families to make decisions during this stressful period is not addressed in the literature. The purpose of this study was to determine what decisions families made in the one-month period after a patient’s admission. Families of patients with severe head injury were chosen because these families are often forced to make decisions quickly and to act as proxy decision-makers for the injured person. Nurses can make important contributions to assist family members in making decisions about the patient or the family. Nurses need to understand what decisions family members need to make and the circumstances surrounding the decision-making process to intervene appropriately

This chapter considers the civil law remedies which are designed to protect a victim from domestic violence. The two primary protective orders under Part IV of the Family Law Act (FLA) 1996 are the non-molestation order and the occupation order which can be applied for and obtained in conjunction with each other, or separately. The chapter also discusses the fact that the occupation order can also be used to regulate occupation of the family home in non-violent situations when a dispute arises between family members about who is entitled to occupy the home, and on what basis.

Human Awareness

Pets as  human substitute in Japanese family. This study aims to describe the Japanese society's view of pets, especially in relation to the substitution of the position of family members, especially children, in a family. This is in line with the emergence of a phenomenon whereby the presence of children in the family has been replaced by pets, especially for those who choose not to have children or elderly citizens. The method used is analytical descriptive method and literature study. From the analysis results, it is known that the presence of pets in lieu of the presence of friends, family members, even biological child (human substitute) for some Japanese is a necessity. On the one hand, this can be seen as something positive because it raises human awareness in animals. But on the other hand, this can be interpreted as a decrease in the quantity and quality of interaction among human beings, which in the long term can affect a person's ability to show empathy to others.Keywords: pet; pet attachment; human substitute

Catherine de Saint-Pierre was Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's sister. Although his letters to her have not survived, we do have her letters to him. While he and his brothers travelled the world from Mauritius to Haiti, Catherine remained in their native Normandy. News and merchandise from far-flung corners of the globe came to her, but she never moved. Nevertheless she played an important role in the family dynamics, as she was often the one who gave family members news about each other. The trials and tribulations of her life in Dieppe fill the pages of her letters, but, in addition to details of her latest ailments, we gain a sense of someone who was very adept at navigating social networks to get the best for her and her family at as little cost as possible. This article reveals the hidden practical realities of getting things done on a budget in Dieppe at the end of the eighteenth century. It highlights the range and versatility of the networks upon which Catherine called as a means of saving money and provides us with some insider details on everyday expenses and exchanges invaluable to all those looking to better understand the economics and legalities of period.

Practical Impact

The family home is the key property asset that most family members will own in their lifetimes. However, many people living together in a home do not give any real thought to whether the property is owned between them, or what would happen if they separated. This chapter explores the reasons why cohabitants do not often think through their entitlements to the property, and why the law has been slow to provide redress to them. It considers the rules applicable to the application of trusts and proprietary estoppel to aid cohabitants, as well as critiques them. It also examines the practical impact of the remedies provided by outlining what happens when property is to be sold. Finally, it considers the many attempts at law reform and why they have, to date, failed to reach the statute books.

This chapter examines Blonde Venus (1932), Sternberg and Dietrich’s characteristically atypical take on the fallen woman film genre. Dietrich’s character is as much liberated as cast out from the family home when she resumes her earlier career in show business and is condemned by her husband for prostitution. Yet the downward trajectory of the fallen woman genre never really exerts its grip on Dietrich, for she remains a mythical being. The chapter interprets the film as a critique of the patriarchal institution of marriage in which standards are expected of the woman that are not expected of the man: Dietrich’s character’s husband shuns her for selling her body, even though he attempts to sell his own (to a medical researcher). The question of the film that the chapter explores is the reconcilability of fairy-tale romance and everyday marriage: Blonde Venus does not take for granted the transition from the one to the other.
