Man is a subject with liberty, truth; An individual is a creative person. The existence of individuals is not separate from the means of living. The means of subsistence is the end, the person is the means, so helplessness, unhappiness, and falsehood appear. Removing falsehoods makes standards defining functions and duties of grandparents, parents, spouses, brothers, and children appear. Standards appear to be meaningful in the ownership, binding, and mutual use of individuals. The existence of standards makes the family the living organization of individuals. Patriarchal habits, brute force, violence, taking advantage of families to hurt each other. Parents defending and protecting their children is an animal instinct, and compliance with standards is irresponsible. The norm that binds individuals to only use each other in the family is not to have universal humanity. Money appears to abolish the false norm becomes to abolish the family. Abolish family norms expressed in separation, divorce, eliminate violence, sexual weakness, respect men, and despise women so that people can relate to each other with common humanity, that is, bring individuals back to life return to a life of freedom, truth, and creativity.

Focusing on the extreme poles of the spectrum of human relationships, this chapter argues that considerateness is the foundation upon which our relationships are to be organized in both the thin, anonymous context of the public space and the thick, intimate context of the family. The first part of the paper, sections I–III, explores the idea that considerateness is the minimum that we owe to one another in the public space. By acting considerately toward strangers we show respect to that which we share as people, namely, to our common humanity. The second part, sections IV–VIII, explores the idea that the family is constituted on a foundation of considerateness. Referring to the particular distribution of domestic burdens and benefits adopted by each family as its “family deal,” I argue that the considerate family deal embodies a distinct, family-oriented notion of fairness. The third part, sections IX–XV, takes up the notion of family fairness, contrasting it with justice.

The article follows the fate of Eugene (Yevgeny) Kalachev, a Siberian Cadet Corps graduate and Cossack regular officer of the Russian Imperial army, a creative person, teacher, professor of pictorial art of the Soviet era. Siberian Cossack E. A. Kalachev graduated the Siberian Cadet Corps (1905) and the Nikolaevsky Cavalry School (1907). Having served three years in the Third Siberian Cossack Regiment in the rank of sotnik, he left military service (1911) and thus drastically changed his life. After leaving Omsk for good, he went to St. Petersburg and enrolled at the Higher Art School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He studied in the workshop of Nikolai Semenovich Samokish. His later life was that of an artist and a teacher. In Soviet era, he was a member of the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia of the State Academy of Artistic Sciences and participated in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition. In his later years E. A. Kalachev was teaching at the faculty of arts of the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography. The article is based on published and unpublished sources. Of most interest are biographical documents from the fonds of the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region and correspondence preserved in the family archive of the author. The following three letters are of particular interest to historians: (1) letter from a Russo-Japanese War participant, sub-yesaul Vasily Epifanovich Dolzhenko to cadet E. A. Kalachev (1904); (2) letter from junker of the Nicholaevsky Cavalry School E. A. Kalachev to captain V. E. Dolzhenko (1906); and (3) letter from professor of pictorial art E. A. Kalachev to Maria Evgenievna Dolzhenko, widow of V. E. Dolzhenko (1956). The article may be of interest to art historians, researchers writing biographies of the Russia Cadet Corps graduates, and historians following the life of Russian officers on the eve of the Russian Revolution of 1917.

In an ever-changing world, the family continues to simultaneously symbolise persistence and transformation. This book looks at various shifts, ruptures and continuities in representations of contemporary Indian families. How the media conveys family norms and images as well as the nature of romantic relationships constitutes the book’s central approach, which connects the different discussions in it. Its chapters analyse documentary and feature films, promotional material, such as television commercials, and the usage of new media technologies in communication. The authors look at visualisations of familial change, ranging from split motherhood, new fatherhood and dysfunctional families to intergenerational relationships, including the pre-marriage stage of life. Aimed at an interdisciplinary readership interested in South Asian, gender and media studies, this book thus contributes to our understanding of the current—ideological and ‘lived’—reality of an Indian family.

Abstract: Long-term care (LTC) is mainly provided by the family and subsidiarily by the market and the government. To understand the role of these three institutions, it is important to understand the motives and the working of family solidarity. In this paper, we focus on the case when LTC is provided by children to their dependent parents out of some norm that has been inculcated to them during their childhood by some exemplary behavior of their parents towards their own parents. In the first part, we look at the interaction between the family and the market in providing for LTC. The key parameters are the probability of dependence, the probability of having a norm-abiding child and the loading factor. In the second part, we introduce the government which has a double mission: correct for a prevailing externality and redistribute resources across heterogeneous households.

In the 21st century, we try to understand how the roles of men and women have been changed in Vietnam that has firm beliefs of Confucianism in the society. Confucianism in Vietnam instills the concept of male superiority over women. Although the laws in the country establish women’s rights, the norms and practices of society still engender male domination. Vietnam family norms promote the unity of the family while placing women in a subservient position, the traditional culture requires obedience to a father and then to a husband and sons. As per family norms, the power of family decisions also remains with husbands. Men keep contact politically and socially at village meetings and exchange the use of resources and production. With the increase of women taking greater productive roles and earn income, their involvement in decision-making also increases. Due to increased women’s education, female power within the family has also increased. Over that last three decades (Starting in 1986, Vietnam carried out the renovation of the country), these traditional views on gender roles influenced by Confucianism have changed drastically, although it is still looked down upon for women to work outside the house, it is slowly being accepted and almost 71.1% of the female population in Vietnam is actively participating the workforce (General Statistics Office of Vietnam, 2019). On the other hand, the male domination over the woman on the family has eased out, and many men do help out with household chores and looking after children while the woman works. Although this population is much lesser than the expectations, it is still a change from the Confucianism principles where the male remains dominant and authoritative. Although there are instances to prove that Vietnam is coming out of its traditional views on gender roles, it is still far behind concerning gender equality compared to globally desirable standards. It is expected that modernization will bring about the empowerment of women and a balance between men and women in both family and society.
