Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that the symbolic interaction perspective states that people's personal experiences help them create their own definition of marriage. People expect marriage to be a lifetime commitment, or at least a form of socially acceptable serial monogamy. People's personal experiences from their families of origin affect their views on marriage. However, from the structural-functional perspective, marriage helps maintain stability in society, provides economic and emotional support for family members, and clearly defines sex/gender roles. Families of divorce and single-parent families are viewed as instances of family deterioration.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
