Answer to Question 1
Family function refers to how a family works to meet the needs of its members.
Family structure is the legal and genetic connections among people living in the
same household. They are connected because the structure of the family influences
the degree and success of family function. Examples will vary and should include
two distinct family structures such as the nuclear family and the blended family,
along with clear indications of the effect of function on the chosen structures.
Answer to Question 2
Possible causes of bullying include inborn brain abnormalities or genetic impulses,
insecure attachment, stress at home, and a lack of guidance on effortful control. The
behavior often starts with aggressive acts against other children and then escalates
when it goes unchecked. Circumstances that contribute to bullying are lack of adult
intervention, the rising popularity of the aggressive children, and the willingness of
other children to befriend the bullies.
