Question 1

Conservative attitudes toward family diversity have mainly focused on
A) relaxing restrictions on family behavior.
B) promoting traditional family values.
C) promoting gay rights.
D) ensuring access to abortions and family planning.

Accepted Answer

Conservative attitudes generally prioritize promoting traditional family values, which usually involves a focus on promoting the nuclear family unit as the ideal form of family. This often means advocating for policies that support heterosexual marriage and parenting, while opposing divorce, cohabitation, and nontraditional family structures.

Question 2

Attempts at social policy that reward traditional families
A) have largely failed in their intended demographic.
B) have largely succeeded in their intended demographic.
C) have discouraged nontraditional families from forming.
D) have decreased the stigma of not getting married.

Accepted Answer

Attempts at social policy that reward traditional families have largely failed in their intended demographic. This is because traditional families are not the only type of families that exist in society, and policies that only benefit them can exclude and harm other types of families, such as single-parent households, same-sex couples, or families with non-biological caregivers. Moreover, such policies can also reinforce gender stereotypes and inequality by placing the burden of caregiving and domestic work on women and limiting their opportunities for paid work and career advancement. Overall, policies that support families should be inclusive, diverse, and flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs and realities of individuals and communities.

The twin facts that women are more likely to be employed than in the past and that people are living longer,healthier lives will help our society meet the challenges created by
A) demographic transition
B) the population pyramid
C) age structure

Accepted Answer

Demographic transition refers to the changes that occur in a population's age structure as it transitions from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. As women become more employed, they tend to have fewer children, leading to a decline in birth rates. Additionally, as people live longer and healthier lives, the elderly population is growing, leading to an aging population. These two factors combined help our society adapt to the changes in the population structure and meet the challenges of demographic transition.
