Structural-Functionalist theory dwindled in the 1960s and 1970s with the increase in single-parent families, gay couples, and blended families. Why would these social changes affect structural-functionalist theory?
 
  A. Structural-functionalist theory was the prevailing theory in the 1950s and thus by contrast came to be seen as uncool.
  B. Structural-functionalist theory was predicated on the idea of a set structure for institutions like the family and so single-parent families, gay couples, and blended families were invisible in this view.
  C. Structural-functionalist theory had no way to explain these differing family forms other than to label them deviant, and the weaknesses of the theory became apparent.
  D. Structural-functionalist theory relied upon one man and one woman in a family for the concept of roles to work, and these new family forms did not allow for the concept of roles.

Question 2

When criminal or civil laws are broken, African American family members tend to distance themselves as a means of preservation.

  b) False
