You need to watch these 3 short films and write an essay.
Write your observation as an essay that compares polygyny to polyandry, and matriarchal to patriarchal families on these dimensions:
Culture – how do each of these family forms maintain legitimacy in society? (Refer to cultural artifacts of symbols, values and norms. How does ideology help secure these family forms as “normal”)
Power – who has the power in the family? How is this determined?
Then, compare these families to your own on culture and power.
Your essay should be 5 paragraphs: an introduction, one paragraph each on culture, power, and a comparison to your own family, and a conclusion.
I’m Armenian. I’m Christian and in my culture, the man is the head of the family and takes care of the family. In my culture, women and grandpa’s grandmas raise the children because most of the time men are working. In my culture, some women are not allowed to work to take care of the child but also some men are totally fine with it and let their women do whatever makes them happy. In my culture, people are having as many children as they want because they also understand the fact and responsibilities of having a baby and how challenging sometimes it can be.
