Conflicting Perspectives of the Ideal Family

(2004), for example, conflict between married couple, child abuse and male superiority. They also pay less attention to the harmful effects that families may have on broader societies. Unlike Marxists, functionalists do not consider changes in family life based on class, race, religion, and place. However, according to Willmott and Young, the former industry is the core, not expanded to the extent that Parsons asserts, parents and children working together in the handicraft industry such as weaving.

At the same time, conflicting views, in particular Marxists, have different understandings of their families. In view of Marxism, we know that the economy is the infrastructure that supports several superstructures, and that the family is one of the superstructures supporting the economic foundation. Therefore, the family system helps to provide a large amount of workforce to the capitalist economy. For example, a family can embrace them cheaply because the family can train the children to be the next generation workers, so the capitalist class can hire them cheaply. Women as reserve forces can be an inexpensive source of extra labor and can help lower wages. At the cultural level, the family system helps individualize acceptance of existing economic and political arrangements. Its role is to embed bourgeois ideology in people's consciousness. (Liu 2014, p.150)

Marxism looks at the family on a macro scale. The view of Marxism is conflict theory, which believes that the family socialization process leads to the spread of the ruling class philosophy. Therefore, individuals misunderstand the hegemonic of capitalist system and capitalist class, thus becoming hegemonic. Continue to be abused through the creation of labor force and profit of proletariat. Engel (1972) believes that the core family of bourgeois is an organization that represses women. They are mainly seen as owner of children, economically dependent on their husbands, they remain faithful to them. According to Engels, the purpose of this family is to dominate women and protect property, so men need to know their own children to take over their wealth. (Taylor and Richardson et al., 2002)

Intercultural perspectives, work, family interfaces - In the 21st century it is becoming increasingly important to study work and family conflicts from a cross-cultural perspective. Hofstede (1980) explained that individuals of different cultures are considered to have different values, beliefs, and social expectations. Yang, Chen, Choi, and Zou (2000) show a good example of how collectiveist culture and personal culture people are seeing work and families. They compared samples from the US and China and reported that American employees had more family needs than Chinese employees. Family demand has a greater influence on American work and home conflict than in China, and the demand for work has a greater influence on Chinese work and family conflict than in the United States. 2000, 120) 2000)
