Some terms used by sociologists to describe families are:
• Patriarchy: a group(e.g. a family or society) which is ruled by a man, for ex-
ample the father of a family.
• Matriarchy: a group ruled by a woman.
• Egalitarian, companionate and symmetrical are terms used to denote a family
pattern in which husband and wife appear to be more equal, to be compan-
ions as well as spouses, and to have similar roles.
• Segregated is used to describe a pattern in which husband and wife have
clearly separate roles, perhaps spending most of their leisure time with
friends or relatives of the same sex.
Although parents may seem to have less power than in the past they may in fact
have greater influence than ever before over their children.
Children are less likely to play outdoors as the danger from the traffic increases;
trips in the family car are becoming common; examination pressure on more and
more young people increases the amount of time many have to spend on home-
work; television and computer games encourage children to stay at home.
The home, and therefore the parents, are becoming more and more important to
the child. Certainly parents now have more time to talk to their children, show
affection and take them out. Argument in many homes seems to be replacing
physical punishment as a way of solving problems. The differences in outlook
between parents and children are often stressed and there is said to be a ‘genera-
tion gap’; however, parents and children may have more in common than such
views would suppose.
