SOCY 443 CCBC WK 5 Consequences of Social Inequality in Society Discussion

 

I’m stuck on a Psychology question and need an explanation.

  1. Give an example of how social inequality in society may negatively affect families.  What are the possible long-term consequences of this inequality?
  2. How might inequality between partners affect their relationship?  In particular, how might the division of household labor affect partners, and how might equity be possible?  (If you would prefer to examine a different form of inequality within families, that would be fine too.)
