| What is it? | What
is a family, and what distinguishes it from other kinds of
associations? Is the traditional role of the family merely
grounded in custom and habit, or is there a deeper philosophical
justification for it? How has the structure of families
changed
over the ages, and how does it differ across cultures? John
and
Ken examine the structure and function of the family in relation to
morality, values, and evolution with Stanford sociologist Michael
Rosenfeld, author of The Age of Independence:
Interracial Unions, Same-Sex Unions and the Changing American Family. |
