essay “Life is a Journey” vs “Life is a Game” This week we’ve learned about the impact that metaphors have on our lives. In Lakoff’s “The Family”‚ he discusses how metaphors have shaped our moral and political views.

Family Trends. 1) Identify and explain two reasons for the decrease in first marriages in England and Wales since 1970. a. Since 1970‚ first marriages have decreased massively. A possible reason for this could be because they are too expensive for people. The prices of weddings since 1970 have escalated dramatically.

Certainly the term ’family’ has raised various debates in the modern society and as evident from the study of different cultures‚ there is now no clear taxonomy of a family unit. From a functionalists point of view‚ it is a unit of people bound together either biologically or by legal marriage.

The way families function has evolved drastically over the years. The meaning of family has changed and people do not have the same views on family that previous generations held. It may be hard to believe‚ but men used to be the breadwinners. It sounds strange to think that a woman used to stay home with the children while the man went off to work‚ but that was the norm over 100 years ago. It was in the 1960’s when women fought to be treated as equals‚ and now there are more female leaders in this
