Abstract
This paper discusses how women in prison have an additional distinction compared to men in prison in that women are usually the primary caregivers in the family. Although men may or may not feel a need to maintain ties with family members, this issue has a much greater impact on women who are incarcerated. It looks at how numerous studies have been done on women in prison and how many of the problems women face deal with the most basic idea of maintaining a healthy relationship with their families. The paper also examines how numerous state correctional institutions have begun to incorporate programs to nurture the family relationships that are jeopardized while women are incarcerated.
From the Paper
"Children are significantly affected by the mother's absence. In fact, there is evidence to support the development of psychological problems; as they become older, they may in fact develop problems as a direct result of the mother's incarceration. "Furthermore, a study by the American Correctional Association (ACA) suggested that the children are at an increased risk of future institutionalization in the criminal justice system (Bloom and Steinhart, 1993; 81)." Children are the innocent victims of the mother's incarceration and the separation from her children can prove to be a powerful catalyst for change."

Abstract
This paper examines how women in prison have an additional distinction compared to men in that they are usually the primary caregivers in the family. Although men may or may not feel a need to maintain ties with family members, this issue has a much greater impact on women who are incarcerated. It looks at how, as the number of women being incarcerated increases, the question arises, to what extent are women in correctional facilities able to keep family ties while incarcerated?

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the novels "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, and "Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly. Specifically, it discusses family ties -- Gulliver's neglect of his family compared to Victor's neglect of his. It looks at how both authors create characters that are far from normal and neglect their families in chaotic and unbelievable worlds. They abandon their families for their own selfish pleasures and wants.
From the Paper
"Both of these works use family ties, and the lack of them, to perpetuate their own distinct views on the Enlightenment movement, an intellectual movement prevalent in the 18th century, when both of these writers were working and creating. Swift wrote a succinct analysis of the movement in another essay, "Thus God and Nature link'd the gen'ral frame, And bade Self-love and Social be the same" (Swift and Williams 71). The movement celebrated intellectual thought, and posed the perennial questions, "what is God, man, nature, society, and/or history?" These unusual novels entertain, but they also "enlighten," as they subtly, and not so subtly, attempt to answer these questions, especially as they relate to family and society of the time."

Family Ties, 2002.
Daniel Defoe's recurring theme of family relationships in 'Roxana' and 'Moll Flanders'.

Abstract
This essay explores Defoe's preoccupation with the theme of family relationships which is a recurring motif in much of his work. Contains a particular concentration on his two novels 'Moll Flanders' and 'Roxana'.
The moral of 'Moll Flanders' is that abandoning children has hidden long term consequences, some of which are not only harrowing but life threatening, and that these consequences have an effect not only on the individual, but on society as a whole. The moral of 'Roxana' is If the ?unsufferable? behaviour of servants is not curbed then the natural order of society will become undermined by the corrupting influence of those ?less morally endowed?.
From the Paper
"In Moll Flanders and Roxana, by Daniel Defoe, the theme of family relationships, relationships between parents and children, husbands and wives, and masters and servants, is a recurring motif. This theme is not only a feature of these two novels, it was also a preoccupation of the author?s, and is a subject of some his earlier works, in particular his treatise, The Family Instructor (1715), which was published in three parts. It is difficult, if not impossible, to separate Defoe from his themes. But for Defoe the family was of primary importance, as David Blewett asserts in Defoe?s Art of Fiction: Moll as Whore and Thief:"

Abstract
This paper analyzes the fourth section of Elihu Rosenblatt' book "Criminal Injustice" which deals in particular with the clarification of gender issues and how these issues relate to prison reform. It examines how it addresses the particular stresses women face when exposed to punishment and the stresses of incarceration in the criminal justice system. It evaluates the misconceptions that often women?s prisons are viewed as easier or less stringent then men?s prisons and that women are ?less punished? than men.
From the Paper
"The women?s control unit featured highlights the difficulties women face in the real world of corrections. Women are judged not only as criminals, but also for their failure to obey certain societal, feminine norms as wives, mothers, or girlfriends. When women become judged as criminals, they are seen as not only forfeiting their rights as citizens, much like men, but also as forfeiting their rights as wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters, etc. They, in essence, become viewed as ?nonpersons? rather than individuals in need of rehabilitation, much less individuals still possessing a certain set of basic human rights. The controls set in action to monitor their behavior within a prison reflects this perception. Exposure to their children, for instance, is used as a method of control, when women have children."

Abstract
This paper analyses the needs of the Lok family who have a family member who needs health care. The paper explains how an integral part of quality care is that all care professionals who interact with the patient and family members share the responsibility of providing patient and family education. In this case the author establishes that as the family are immigrants it is necessary to understand and respect their religious and cultural background in order to be able to provide the best health education.
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 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)."

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.
6,096 words (approx. 24.4 pages), 29 sources, AU$ 208.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

The Ties that Bind, 2002.
An examination of family ties in two novels - "Death of Salesman" by Arthur Miller and "Eveline" by James Joyce.

Abstract
This paper presents the writer?s opinion about the characters in two books being trapped by their families. The writer uses Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and James Joyce's "Eveline" to illustrate the way a person can be trapped by families and obligations. The characters of Eveline from "Eveline" and Biff from "Death of a Salesman" are compared and contrasted for the way in which they are entangled in seemingly hopeless situations because of their families.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature writers depict an underlying theme that they may not even have been aware of when they wrote the piece of literature. Eveline in James Joyce's "Eveline" and Biff in Miller's Death of a Salesman the authors depict and portray characters who are ultimately trapped by their families with no way out. While the story does not directly address their entrapment it is obvious when one studies the fabric of their lives that they were indeed trapped by family for different reasons and circumstances."

Familial Evolution: Role Relationships in the Family Structure, 2005.
An examination of family structure and roles in Kaye Gibbons' "Ellen Foster," Celia Rothenberg's "Child of Divorce, and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child."

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."

Religion and Family, 2005.
Examines the effect of religion on family life.

Abstract
This paper explores whether religion strengthens the relationship between the members of a family or whether it has no impact on family ties. The paper examines the conceptual ideas of psychologists and sociologists in a bid to better understand the issue. The paper concludes that religion does indeed strengthen family ties.
From the Paper
"In other words, the closer a family's relationship is with God, the more love they will have to offer not only to their own family but to others as well. It is this divine relationship with God that strengthens the love a family has for one another and for their community. Jamie had a very strong relationship with God and therefore could spread this love beyond her own family to those she came across in school. Her love for God and in effect for people as well gave her the extra push she needed to forgive the wrongdoings of others and to show them love despite of what they had do to her."

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 (...)"

Structural Family Therapy, 2006.
A case study of a family and the problems in its family structure that have begun to arise after the death of the mother.

Abstract
This paper discusses a particular family and the problems within the family structure that are observable in the relationship between the sisters Terry and Maxine. The paper notes that, while the family has been guided for most of its existence by the mother of these siblings, the mother has died and the conflicts that have evolved throughout the family history between these two sisters have begun to affect the entire family. This is evident in the arguments over selling the house, the decision of the family to no longer have Sunday dinners and the severing of ties between family members after the mother's death.

Family Nursing, 2006.

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."

Family Visitation for Prisoners, 2006.
Argues that the present system in the U.S. does not make it easier for prisoners to maintain normal ties with their families.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper suggests that the U.S. prisoner family visitation system come under review by authorities. The paper maintains that it is just one more tool in the country's correctional system that will keep its prisoners grounded in the fact that they are human, and keep the families grounded in the fact that the incarcerated member is still very much a part of their lives.
From the Paper
"Family visitation can also give the family who has lost a member to prison a measure of validation , especially when family visits can be tied in with "check-ins" with family support services who can make sure the family on the outside is surviving socially and economically. There may be little external support for a father or mother who is raising children on their own while a spouse is in jail. There is tendency for society to see the removal of the parent as a "comeuppance" not noticing what the effect may be on the blameless ones left behind, which did nothing to bring the grief and loss upon themselves. "
