Familial Interactions

This chapter considers familial relationships as obstacles to the realization of egalitarian ideals. It has been argued that the conflict between the family and equality is in fact much less stark than is commonly recognized. Parents and children can enjoy healthy familial relationships, and parents can exercise all the rights needed for those relationships to make their distinctive contribution to well-being, without our having to tolerate anything like the kinds of inequalities of opportunity to which familial interactions currently give rise. This argument, however, still has family values on one side of the line and distributive considerations on the other. The chapter suggests the former be incorporated into the latter, as it were, by treating familial relationship goods as distribuenda: that is, as among the goods that people should have opportunities, perhaps equal opportunities, for.

Parent Child Relationships

The family is hotly contested ideological terrain. Some defend the traditional two-parent heterosexual family while others welcome its demise. Opinions vary about how much control parents should have over their children's upbringing. This book provides a major new theoretical account of the morality and politics of the family, telling us why the family is valuable, who has the right to parent, and what rights parents should—and should not—have over their children. The book argues that parent–child relationships produce the “familial relationship goods” that people need to flourish. Children's healthy development depends on intimate relationships with authoritative adults, while the distinctive joys and challenges of parenting are part of a fulfilling life for adults. Yet the relationships that make these goods possible have little to do with biology, and do not require the extensive rights that parents currently enjoy. Challenging some of our most commonly held beliefs about the family, the book explains why a child's interest in autonomy severely limits parents' right to shape their children's values, and why parents have no fundamental right to confer wealth or advantage on their children. The book reaffirms the vital importance of the family as a social institution while challenging its role in the reproduction of social inequality and carefully balancing the interests of parents and children.

The paper examines the importance of the family as an educational environment for the formation of the value system of the young generation. It is an outcome of cyclical research on the values of the younger and older generation in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship in Poland. The research data refer to the value examination questionnaire "100 Sentences - 100 Opinions" by Mirosław J. Szymański and the Value Scale by Milton Rokeach. The results confirm significant similarity of axiological systems for both respondent groups. The comparison of research results from three study stages (1994, 2003 and 2017) proves that the values systems in both younger and older generation are more constant than variable. Therefore, it can be concluded that in spite of disruptions experienced by a contemporary family, it is still considered the source of principles and values for a younger generation. The author proves that the first positions in the young people's and their parents axiological systems are held by the allocentric and prosocial values. This is also confirmed by the appreciation of the value of "true friendship" and "mature love”. It is beyond doubt that these values make it possible today to establish close and rewarding relationships that are extremely helpful to the sense of security and recognition. Furthermore, the studies prove that the participants in both research groups perceived the civic and material values as least important. The research studies a rather moderate acceptance by the respondents of the views representing family values. Young people in particular, still refer to the family with reluctance, criticising the various areas of the family's life, and they do not hesitate to point out the factors that disorganise the life of this community. They also clearly indicate their expectations of the family and, as can be anticipated, construct their own visions of the family. Although there are some changes in the order of values, they are not clear enough to suggest that the hierarchy of values and reference to family values of younger and older respondents has changed significantly over the years. The results with regard to the meaning of the family as a source of the young generation's values somewhat undermine the common theses about the little impact of family socialisation on the development and upbringing of the young generation and the loss of the family's basic duties.

Victims Of Violence

In this paper , we focus on contemporary Macedonian literature for young people, in particular of one of its segment, and it is the presence of violence and violent scenes in the works designed for this audience. Theorists of this literature, popularly called YAL, not circumvent these issues, just like writers who write books intended for adolescents. This topic will be discussed by esplicit examples that will be taken of contemporary literature for young people, in order from one side to indicate their presence, and the need to write freely on the subject, and on the other hand to help young people who are experiencing these problems. The analysis will show that in most cases, the cause of the young sometimes turning to violence or themselves been victims of violence are shifting family values, or lack / absence of the family, a family member, usually a parent, neglect by parents and their preoccupation with work.

This chapter sets out the various kinds of conflict between the value of equality and the value of those parent–child relationships that constitute the family. It offers two reasons not to pursue fair equality of opportunity all the way. On the one hand, we must be prepared for children of similar talent and ability raised by different parents to enjoy somewhat unfairly unequal prospects of achieving the rewards attached to different jobs, since the alternative would cost too much in terms of familial relationship goods. On the other hand, some unfairness in the distribution of those prospects could be beneficial for those who have unfairly less. In both cases, then, there are conflicts between fair equality of opportunity and other values.

HOW WE GET INVOLVED WITH COURT-MANDATED PARENTS Because of the emotional intensity and conflict that is typical of many court-mandated clients, our approach begins with the initial telephone contact. When parents are ordered to therapy to help settle custody and/or visitation issues, usually one parent calls in explaining that they have been court-ordered to therapy. When this happens, we take down some basic information and explain that we must wait for the other parent to call in before therapy can begin. If we see one parent before making contact with the other, we are likely to become part of the adversarial climate characteristic of the court. In a few cases, an attorney or guardian ad litem will refer the case directly to us. They usually want to give us background information about the family. We thank them for this input and ask that they have the family call us directly so we can tell them about our center and how we work. We also tell the referral source that therapy will begin after we hear from both parents.When the first parent calls in, they often tell us that we shouldn't expect a call from the other parent, saying, "I asked him/her to come to therapy a hundred times when we were married and he/she always refused." Sometimes we receive a court-order from a judge in the mail; the court order explains who is referred to therapy and why. It usually states that the parents are having difficulty resolving issues regarding their children. These issues include disputes about visitation, custody, and financial support. It is important to note that some families we see are in the midst of the divorce process while others have been divorced for many years. THERAPIST POSITIONING We see our role with court-ordered families as flowing from our ideas about people, therapy, and change. So, when we work on these cases, we become part of a system of people engaged in a dialogue about the well-being of a family. It is important to note that no one involved with the family denies that the best interests of children are primary. What those best interests are, however, is open to debate. Our role, as we see it, is to join with members of each system (family,

Higher Consciousness

Spirituality refers to the search for and experiential elements of the sacred, ultimate meaning, higher-consciousness, and transcendence (Friedman and MacDonald, 2002). Emmons (2000) argued that spirituality can be viewed as a form of intelligence because it predicts functioning and offers capabilities that enable people to solve problems and attain valuable goals. In other words, spirituality is based on abilities that produce valuable outcomes. Research suggests a positive relationship between spirituality, life purpose and satisfaction, health, and family well-being. Family life is supposed to be about forming persons– parents and children growing together, learning from each other, supporting one another, in living out a shared mission and goals – all of which has to do with spirituality. Without a strong sense of spiritual well-being, families too easily become mere collections of individuals living under the same roof. Fostering our family's spiritual well-being is what enables us to be more than a bunch of people sharing a room but feeling lonely just the same. It is what enables us to celebrate the love that comes from God's own heart, and discover–as a family– all the ways that life is a gift, and to help each other become everything God created us to be. The present article earnestly attempts to explore how spirituality enhances physical and mental health of the family members, thereby promoting family well-being.

Clay Dolls, which means a doll made of earth, was excavated from the Silla area, mainly in Gyeongju. Accordingly, research on clay figurines in Silla has been carried out actively and it would not be too much to say that it was mostly Silla’s clay figurines which have been mostly studied so far. The study of clay figurines of Gaya has been relatively slow, probably due to the fact that the cases of excavations are very limited. Recently, various types of clay figurines have been excavated from the presumed royal palace site of Geumgwan Gaya under the excavation and investigation by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. Earlier in Gimhae, a variety of clay figurines, including character clay figurines, were excavated in an excavation to create a site for a hanok living experience center. Based on these new data, this paper tries to infer the different characters, roles and significance of clay figurines in Gaya society, by studying various kinds of clay figurines excavated from Geumgwan Gaya territory. Bonghwang-dong, which is believed to be the center of Geumgwan Gaya, is a complex of relics including living facilities, hospitality facilities, trading facilities, workshop sites and earthen fortresses. Various clay figurines were excavated at the main sites of Bonghwang-dong s historical site, from which that the people of Gaya used clay dolls to perform ceremonial acts there can be inferred. In Bonghwang-dong sites other than the presumed royal palace ruins, horse shaped clay dolls and the clay dolls resemble utensils used in rituals are usually found. human figured clay dolls, animal figured clay dolls, house figured clay dolls have been excavated around the presumed royal palace ruins within Bonghwang-dong site which differentiates this region from the rest of the site. Along with the presumed royal palace ruins, there is a tendency of various clay figurines being found in the other ruin in the hanok living experience center with multiple purpose relics. In conclusion, there is a possibility that clay dolls had been used to wish for the well-being of the family members by the ruling group, or the well-being of the community at importance areas like the presumed royal palace ruins and the hanok living experience center ruins. This kind of tendency is found in many ruins around the Ancient Gimhae Bay(Gogimhae-Man), which leads to an assertion that various rituals and ceremonial acts had been carried out using clay dolls throughout that area.

Specific Virus

SUMMARYHeredity in viroses has to be considered (i) from the standpoint of the specific virus which, like any living organism, presents heredity, variability and mutation, and (ii) from the standpoint of the human host, where the receptive conditions may be genetically controlled.The heredity of disposition to poliomyelitis is also witnessed by the results of Gedda's twin clinical method as well as by the proportionality between the consanguinity ratio and the ratio of concordance of the infection in the family.The heredity of disposition to trachoma has been studied in 775 families from Eritrea, the disease having been examined in parents and children. Statistic and genealogic analysis shows the existence of a disposition. The mating of an affected father to a nonaffected mother does not alter the frequency of the affection in the children, as compared to the case of the children of both nonaffected parents. On the other hand the affected father makes the frequency of the affection significantly rise in the children when mated to an affected mother. Such a behaviour is explained through a more frequent disposition in the children of parents both affected by one and the same disposition.The study of the sample through the dimensions of the sibship, showing a constant nonaffected-affected ratio, independently from the above dimensions, also leads to assuming the existence of a disposition. This sharply contrasts with the epidemiologic concept of a higher risk, the higher the number of sibs.

Analysis And Synthesis

Purpose: to substantiate the role of family look in family upbringing of a child's personality based on traditional values. Methodology: an integrated approach was applied, questioning of parents, conversations with teachers, parents, children, methods of analysis and synthesis obtained. Style "family look" implies the presence of a unifying element in the image of the whole family. Family look emphasizes belonging to one family. Self-expression by family look is manifested through identical colors, similar patterns and common motifs in family members' prints. Options for "family look" are: 1) the same clothing in style, material; 2) a single style; 3) identical accessories; 4) a single color scale; 5) clothing for pets, dolls ect; 6) identical prints. Family look clothing can be not only for the holidays, but also for everyday look. The original style of "family look" stands out because it is a whole philosophy, where family, children and love are declared as the most important values. Results of the research: features of the “family look” style were analyzed. A parental survey was conducted to identify goals and priorities for choosing a family look clothing. Modern parents and teachers of preschool education have been found to be familiar with family look, which is a testament to the great popularity of style. Most surveyed identifi ed this style as the same clothing for parents and children. Only a small proportion of those  surveyed indicated that there were other signs of style, such as the same accessories. Psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of family values in the structure of the personality of the child due to the "family look" style have been determined.  Scientifi c novelty: the possibilities of "family look" style in the development of a child's personality have been identifi ed. Practical importance: baced on a creative source, author's models of women's, men's and children's clothes in the style of “family look” were created. The results of the study can be used by workers of the fashion-industry in the formation of the range of products of light industry, and also by parents in the family upbringing of children.
