Abstract
This paper will examine the intergenerational communication between parents and children as a sub-system of the larger system of the family unit. It will be argued that this relationship cannot be understood in isolation from other relationships such as the child's interactions with her peers. In this analysis, it will be seen that only a holistic approach to the topic of communication within the family can hope to pull together the many stands of the family relationship(s).

From the Paper
"Patient and family education is an integral part of quality care. Providing it is a responsibility shared by all care professionals who interact with a patient and with family members. Teaching patients can be the most challenging as well as the most rewarding aspect of care. Understanding the patient's religious and cultural background is an important consideration when providing health education to the Lok family. In order to determine the family's cultural status and understand its forced migration, I must be open-minded, show respect for beliefs that differ from my own, and avoid making assumptions or stereotyping. In educating the Lok family, it is essential to understand Chinese culture. China is a country of multiple faiths, with a large segment of the pop..."

Abstract
This paper studies the family members and dynamics in two American novels about marooned families. The paper compares the personalities and character traits of the matriarchs and patriarchs, as well as the children. Another similarity discussed is the scenes in which the families are forced to venture into unknown territory in order to survive. The paper also illustrates how both books reinforce the traditional values of the nuclear family. In fact, the paper concludes that the most important lesson from these books is that the family will pull together to surmount obstacles and to counteract adversity.
From the Paper
"The Robinsons reached their unlikely new home when they were shipwrecked on their way to settle in a place that was not their home. We are not told how the Borrowers came to be living under the floor, but we do find out that at one time there was a colony of Borrowers, some of whom were extended family, living in the same house. Both environments require the participation of both mother and father to survive. In both, the father leaves the home every day to obtain the things necessary for survival. In both, the mothers stay home and prepare meals, provide clothing and keep the home comfortable and clean. In both, the home - no matter how undesirably located - is a haven for the family, the place where they feel safe and where they enjoy each other's company."

Work and Family Conflict: The Dual-Earning Family Problem, 2000.
A look at the conflict between work and family that two-income families face and the lack of support they receive from employers.

From the Paper
"One of the largest transformations in family life over the last decades has been the rise of the dual-earner family. The number of families which are dual-earner, married couple households has increased dramatically, having overtaken "traditional" breadwinner/homemaker families in number as early as the mid-70s, continuing into even through the late 1980s and 1990s. Despite the phenomenal growth in this segment of the population, very little has been done to meet the growing needs of dual-earner families. With the prevalence of mothers and fathers in the work force, inevitably we find that there is a conflict. Caregivers in the workforce face the difficult decision to choose between their family and their jobs, and unfortunately, most employers do not do enough to help."

Hierarchical Communication Patterns, 2002.
A research design to study the effects of hierarchical communication patterns on children.
1,100 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 2 sources, APA, £ 19.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper proposes a research study to test two specific research hypotheses: (1) Children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to view televised acts of violence positively than will children from families with open communication patterns and (2) children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to engage in acts of violence than will children living in families with open communication patterns. The paper also discusses data analysis and anticipated results.
From the Paper
"In addition to the nine self-report attitudinal items on the survey, data regarding the gender, ethnicity, and family constellation of each respondent will also be collected. Specifically, the participating teacher will indicate these variables on each survey and will also identify the degree to which each respondent has engaged in verbally or physically aggressive and/or violent behavior in the classroom, using classroom records and school disciplinary referrals to identify the number and type of acting-out behaviors observed in the course of the present school year."

Familial Evolution: Role Relationships in the Family Structure, 2005.

Abstract
The family, an evolving entity that exists beyond the boundaries of genetics, encompasses relationships intertwined by emotions, education, proximity and biology. The roles each member of the family holds: father, mother sister, and brother, impact the family specifically, and potentially impact society at large. This paper examines these ideas by taking a look at "Ellen Foster" by Kay Gibbons, "Child of Divorce" by Celia Rothenberg and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child" (anonymous).
From the Paper
"The actions of the family affect society at large. Roles remain the same, but the people playing them and their methods constantly fluctuate. While increasingly common to find homes where both parents work, it remains an unfortunate necessity. Children of these homes often draw their life's instructions from daycare workers and television rather than the tutelage of their mothers and fathers. Rather, it is imperative that the pursuit of advanced education, critical thinking, and spiritual exploration be encouraged and demonstrated by the parents."

Abstract
This paper reviews, discusses and analyzes the impact that incarceration has on a prisoner's family and community. According to the paper, the majority of the incarcerated population are men, most of whom are fathers with families. The paper takes a look at how the families of prison inmates are left behind to pick up the pieces.
From the Paper
"Mass incarceration places a tremendous strain on the extended networks of friends and family that have traditionally sustained poor African American families in difficult times, thereby weakening the communities' ability to cope and survive economic and social hardships (Roberts 2004). Although loss of family contact may be seen by many as simply part of the offender's deserved punishment, there are damaging consequences to families, social networks, and communities. According to Roberts, the "injury to social networks is also a counterbalance to claims that removing criminals may benefit their relatives by relieving the families of problems caused by the offender's antisocial behavior" (Roberts 2004). However, the type of offender has changed due to the new sentencing reforms that impose harsh prison terms for relatively minor drug offense, thereby increasing incarceration of first-time, nonviolent offenders, who most likely have valuable ties to the community networks and institutions, which means that the loss to communities is greater today in terms of the quality as well as quantity of inmates (Roberts 2004)."

Communication in a Nursing Environment, 2002.

Abstract
The following paper proposes that understanding and utilizing body language would be an effective way for a nurse to improve communication. The nature of communication and the importance of body language in the communication process is examined with a focus on how this can be used to assist in communication in a medical set-up. Based on the research in this paper, it is seen that body language can be used by nursing staff to ensure they send the right message to patients and their families and also to ensure the real message and the real state of patients can be understood.
From the Paper
"From the research, we can see that body language is an important part of communication and has great effect on communication. From the nursing perspective, we have seen how it can be used to determine the patients and their families real state. We have also seen how the body language of the nurse can be used to ensure that the patients and their family feel comfortable enough to speak freely and communicate the truth.By training and ensuring that nurses are aware of body language, effective communication can be better established. This is especially important because the nature of the situation means that understanding the patient's state is critical to providing them with correct treatment and also because the nature of the situation means that the patient may not necessarily speak honestly about their conditions.Training nursing staff in the importance of body language would allow them to better communicate with the patients and their families and this in turn, would increase the quality of care that could be delivered, with the quality relating to personal needs as well as medical needs."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this research is to discuss family therapy in the context of marriage and family systems. Under discussion will be conceptual models of family therapy, the family life cycle concept, and a comparison of various approaches to the treatment of families.
Conceptual models of family therapy: family systems, family pathology, family treatment.
The conceptual models of family therapy that make the most sense are systems-based family therapy, whether structural or strategic, and the concept of triangulation. Systems-based family therapy, both structural and strategic, are based in social theory. Both deal with the psychodynamic world of the family rather than viewing the identified "sick" member of the family individually. For example, mental illness in a family (...)"

Abstract
This paper evaluates the current field of family health nursing by answering a series of basic and straightforward questions about that field. These questions include the nature of the family unit, the importance of the family for nurses, and methods for application of family health nursing theories. Throughout this paper, a rough definition of family health nursing according to the author's own understanding are shown.
From the Paper
"The changing structure of the basic family unit will have a certain impact on family health and healthcare. Family health nursing takes this into account and provides for a holistic approach to healthcare that incorporates the working of the family into health assessments (Anderson, 2000). In doing so, the nurse will take into account the dynamics of the family in order to assess, implement and evaluate care."
