Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Conflict and feminist analysts view functionalist perspectives on the role of the family

in society as idealized and inadequate. From the conflict and feminist perspectives,

families do not operate harmoniously and for the benefit of all members, but rather are

the source of social inequality and conflict over values, goals, and access to resources

and power. According to some conflict theorists, families in capitalistic economies are

similar to workers in a factory. Women are dominated by men in the home in the same

manner that workers are dominated by capitalists and managers in factories. Although

childbearing and care for family members in the home contribute to capitalism, these

activities also reinforce the subordination of women through unpaid (and often

devalued) labor. Some feminist perspectives on inequality in families focus on

patriarchy rather than class. Women's activities in the home have been undervalued at

the same time as their labor has been controlled by men. In addition, men have

benefited from the privileges they derive from their status as family breadwinners.

Conflict and feminist perspectives on families focus primarily on the problems inherent

in relationships of dominance and subordination. Specifically, feminist theorists have

developed explanations that take into account the unequal political relationship between

women and men in families and outside of families. Some feminist analysts explain

family violence as a conscious strategy used by men to control women and perpetuate

gender inequality.
