Order Description
I want the essay to:
– explain what interdisciplinary social sciences (when using more than 1 discipline to look at a social issue)
– define the family over time (a nuclear family 1945 + the family today)
– why is family important to social scientists (family now… and was … which makes it an example of continuity and change, that is of an interest to social scientists)
– the UK family in “the golden age” (a brief about the golden age)
– the thesis statement that the UK family had CHANGED since 1945
– it MUST use HISTORY, SOCIOLOGY and POLITICS as the interdisciplinary approaches to analyse the change
– IMPORTANT to talk about and mention the change in values + liberalism (ex. same sex couples)
– link conservatism and feminism to the topics (their opinion about them/ how they view them)
(please make it start with an intro then a brief paragraph about the golden age then conservatism and feminism)
