Description

Explore the complex reality of modern family dynamics with this insightful work from Routledge. The modern family faces significant strain as people struggle to balance the desire for intimacy, warmth, and self-fulfillment with the realities of daily life. This book examines the concept of the family's double life, where expectations often clash with actual experiences. By analyzing the gap between our deep-seated values and our everyday experiences, the authors provide a unique perspective on how we perceive domestic life. You will learn how family rituals, political rhetoric, advertising images, and television sitcoms create powerful myths about what a family should be. This book offers a deep look into the yearnings and expectations that shape our social structures and personal connections.
