Fatherhood Sociology

Decent Essays
It was old trend when a father would bring the daily breads for the family while mother would take care of the children in most of the society and with the women empowerment, this harmony has been changed. There is no harm in women employment and in fact this is positive from many perspectives and yet we can see huge competition among the married couples especially regarding their career while they totally overlook their needs for their children. Fatherhood is important and he has many roles to play for the children but a mother, as we have seen throughout the century, makes the major share of contribution towards upbringing the children. When a mother has very little time to share with her kids, the problem related to juvenile crime increases.

According to fatherhood.org every one and three children live in father absent homes. It has been proven that children who have both parents in their household tend to do much better in most aspects within school, society, and also within their self-confidence.

In Genesis 2:24 the Bible states, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they become one flesh” (The Holy Bible New International Version, 1978, p. 2).…

    One problem that most women suffered was that they sometimes left their jobs for child rearing and come back later. Recently women join workforce in huge numbers, highly qualified and they should be compensated for their education. This recognition will motivate them and make them feel as part of their organizations.

To remedy this problem, some governments are adopting more flexible policies for family leave and for telecommuting; others are developing child-care programs.…

    In past group leader assignments, leaders have been assigned five questions to focus the group discussion on. In both of my groups (both in part one and part two of the course), I have frequently veered off those questions and into discussions beyond the lecture material. This was due to the questions assigned being undebatable at times and too straightforward. That was why I enjoyed creating my own question for this group assignment. This report analyzes the effectiveness of my question in my group leader assignment for the understanding of course material.…
