sociologyPick at least one of the theoretical frameworks that we discussed in class and apply it to the contemporary family in all its aspects such as dating, cohabitation, marriage, divorce, parenting styles, etc. Begin your essay by discussing the theoretical framework in general. Your discussion of it should be a combination of class notes, readings from the text, as well as outside sources. o The paper should include your own thoughts or opinions that are supported by the literature.

At no stage did Aboriginal civilization develop substantial buildings, roadways, wheeled cart as part of their different priorities and approach.”
