The research offers a plot analysis in Synge’s play “Rider to the Sea”. This play is written in 1902 describing a complex family life story. This play will be analyzed by using the structure method focusing on the plot development of the play. The story of the play "Rider to the Sea" is interesting since it portrays the different side of family where the family life is still dependent on the men’s efforts in their family. Roles of the men in the story are very important because the family life cannot run well without men’s contribution. The Riders to the Sea has a unique place in dramatic history. The essence of its uniqueness lies in the creation of a true tragedy within its boundaries of a one act play. At first sight, the plot would seem too trivial and the characterization too faintly sketched to enable the playwright to build up and communicate the typical momentum of a high tragedy. To reach the aim of the analysis, the writer uses the qualitative research. The result is expected to give the reader a better understanding of the description of the plot of the play “Rider to the Sea.” Keywords : plot, simple plot, complex plot

This paper aims to strengthen the opinion or the concept suggesting that family roles are significant in the attempt to overcome drug uses, violence and terrorism in Indonesia. This is a qualitative research, in which sources of data were literary works, such as academic books and articles.  The article refers to Berger’s theory of social construction during the first stage in the process of externalization out of three stages: externalization, objectification and internalization, which lead to transformation of social actions, which then shape people’s habits. Meanwhile, in the effort to control Social Actions or control people’s habits, the article refers to preventive and repressive efforts, while in terms of the process of social control; the article refers to persuasive, coercive and curative efforts. Our findings suggest that three main social problems: first, drug uses, violence against children, wives, and husbands and terrorism are still main social problems in Indonesia, which require serious, substantial and sustainable efforts to find effective solutions.However, population growth also needs attention even though it is not as vital as others mentioned earlier; second, there are several important reasons and/or factors that problem of drugs, violence and terrorism persist in Indonesia, one of which is the failure of the family to take important role in guiding its members;third, based on our reviews of literature, we conclude that to maximize roles of family, marriage couples should be knowledgeable and competent in keeping their family runs well. For that reason, it is paramount important for marriage couples to educate themselves regarding their roles and responsibilities within the family life. This can be done through taking the pre-marriage courses for those who are about to get married. In fact, marriage couples should persistently educate themselves through many means and channels.

Home movies, like family photographs, are important parts of family life, acting as ways to frame the idea of the family and connect different, inter-generational memories together. Footage of key moments helps develop a family identity, as well as locate it within broader historical contexts. As a result, home movies provide an incredibly useful source with which to examine the intersections between narratives of the family, nation and belonging. Utilising a collection of personal home movies, this paper will explore how these themes are touched on within the context of British Colonial Southern Africa. These films explore how ideas of family identity are rooted within ideas of home and belonging, articulating a conceptualisation of colonial Southern Africa as a ‘home-scape’ for descendant of British settlers living there during the 1950s and 1960s. These home movies draw attention to the creation of the idea of home and family, while also producing disruptive elements to those narratives.

Families in which a parent has died will show a variety of reactions and recovery patterns. This article examines several factors which contribute to this variance. Within the framework of a developmental role analysis of the family system, the influence of the stage of the family life cycle, the roles of the deceased, previous patterns of role allocation, and the type of death are discussed. It is suggested that “person oriented” families, characterized by achieved roles, open communication, and flexible power structures, will more effectively reallocate family roles following the death of a spouse/parent. On contrast, “position oriented” families, characterized by ascribed roles, closed communication, and relatively inflexible power structures, will be too dependent on cultural norms and will lack the role-reallocating mechanisms necessary to ensure adequate family functioning following such a death.

Résumé This article explores how space gets mobilised in the performance of “family business”. The very concept of the “family business” collapses some deeply entrenched distinctions in Western modern societies, those between home and work, private and public, family life and business rationality, distinctions that are mapped over space through the creation of boundaries between work space and family space, home and office. The “family business”, especially when run from home, unsticks this ordered sense of space as familial images and business stages are collapsed. Our analysis of small family run boarding kennels focuses on the way space is used to frame different stages of action. In particular, we draw upon theatrical metaphors to explore the work that goes into the staging of identities and social relations. We first discuss the relationships between space, stages, performance and identity through a theatrical lens; we then draw upon material from our study of family run boarding kennels to explore how owner-managers use space as a malleable resource from which they carve out and assemble different stages to perform their business and themselves to different audiences. After going back into the theatre to discuss the role of stages in weaving together coherent stories in the family business or in drama, we close by exploring the limitations of the theatrical metaphor for the analysis of social life.

There is a duality, an apparent contradiction, in Jesus' words about the family which is rooted in the rejection of legality as a sphere for family life and in the creation of a community whose claims transcend those of the family.

This article presents the main results of qualitative research on the sense that peoplehave of the right to public support for the reconciliation of work and personaland family life, in the case of staff of a local authority in northern-central Portugalthat is the object of an equality plan. The authors conclude that: the sense that thereal content of rights is small is reflected in a limited awareness of the obligationsthat pertain to the state, employers and society in general when it comes to providingservices and support for the family; reconciliation problems are individualisedand privatised; people have low expectations as to the support they are likely toreceive from their employer and the state; and they are thus unlikely to mobiliseand demand access to rights.

Exploring the untold experiences of family members and friends caring for the children of female prisoners in England and Wales, this book sheds light on the collateral damage that incarceration causes those who take over caregiving responsibilities for the children of female prisoners. Providing new qualitative research on the lived experiences of caregiving relatives, alongside theoretically informed and policy-relevant insights, the book shows the difficult and damaging consequences of the ‘family sentence’ they serve. Exploring the stigma, scarce statutory support and policy neglect they face, it offers much-needed evidence to encourage the development of a more inclusive, understanding and family-oriented justice system.
