Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

#socialist #socialism #communism #anti capitalism #the belief that we won’t work under capitalism genuinely makes me so mad #like #you realize the goal of social reform is to abolish imperialism right?#there won’t be good just showing up out of nowhere without slavery and/or imperialism

My one basic opinion is that nobody should ever have to live in poverty and boy oh boy does this make some motherfuckers real mad!

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

STORY TIME !! 🖊

Unlike any other people, I have an idea what a Social Worker is. Pero ang alam ko lang ay taga-bigay sila ng relief goods kapag may kalamidad, taga-tulong sa mga nangangailangan lalo na sa mga kinapos sa pambayad sa ospital at mag-bigay ng edukasyon sa mga Mangyan.

Both my parents are community organizers and community developers. Kaya siguro hindi gaanong bago sa akin ang magtrabaho kasama ang mga nasa laylayan ng lipunan at mga considered “vulnerable” sectors.

I finished my degree after 5 and a half years. Hehe 😅 Oo, hindi ako on time grumaduate. Sobrang pressure pa noong Board Exam dahil mag-isa akong nag-take sa school namin, so it 0% or 100%. Pero syempre hindi ako na-pressure, nag-inom ako 😂😅

Matapos ang exam, pag-uwi sa Calapan, nag-volunteer ako bilang community profiler sa Conservation Innovation Philippines. Noong pumasa ako ng board exam, kinabukasan nag-apply kaagad ako sa mga field na interesado ako. Pero naka-set talaga noon ang mind ko na sa Province ako mag-wowork.

Kasama ng ilang mga Social Workers kong naging kaibigan sa Luna Goco (hindi ako don graduate pero naging friends ko sila) nag-apply kami ng trabaho sa probinsya. Hanggang sa nakapasok ako bilang Medical Social Worker sa MMG Hospital sa amin. After 3 months, tumawag ang Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office.

Naaalala ko pa noong nag-aapply ako sa PSWDO, pinasulat ako ni Mam Zarah kung alin sa tatlong method ng Social Work ang strength at weakness ko. Syempre, strength ko ang community organizing at weakness ko ang Case Work. Bakit? Siguro dahil mas nababad ako sa komunidad. Mula sa mga magulang ko, hanggang sa mga gawain sa simbahan, pulos pag-oorganisa. Isa siguro sa dahilan kaya ako mahina sa Case Work ay dahil tamad akong mag-sulat (nang hindi literary fiction) at medyo hindi fruitful ang experience ko during my Field Instruction 1 and 2. Nahirapan ako sa Case Work.

Surprisingly, inilagay ako ni Mam Zarah sa Bahay Kanlungan. Isang temporary shelter para sa mga abused and neglected women and children. In other words, maraming Case Work. Maraming Case Management. Tamad na tamad ako nung una pero pipilit kong mag-trabaho. Ina-apply ko iyong mga mga bagay na napag-aralan ko. May times pa na kapag uuwi ako matapos kong gumawa ng Case Study Report ay masusuka ako o lalagnatin dahil sa stess sa mga cases na nababasa at napapakinggan ko. Sa kakapilit ko sa sarili ko, sa kakapush nila Ate Net at Ate Mira sa akin, sa tiwala nilang tatlo ni Mam Zarah at nang mga kasama namin sa BK, masasabi kong nag-improve ako sa pag-gawa ng CSR at Case Management.

Habang nasa BK, naranasan ko rin na maging taga-balot ng relief goods at mag-monitor ng bagyo. HINDI KA SOCIAL WORKER PAG HINDI KA NAKARAMAS NG RELIEF OP! HAHAHAHA!!! Naranasan kong pumasok ng 2pm to 10pm para dumuty sa pier para mag-bigay ayuda sa mga Locally Stranded Individuals noong kasagsagan ng Pandemic.

Nag-part time ako bilang Research Assistant sa project ng USAID at Ateneo de Manila tungkol sa epekto ng illegal drugs sa relasyon ng mga substance abuse users at sa kanilang mga pamilya.

Sa BK ko naranasan maging Nanay, Ate, Tita at maging warrior rawr 😂 Nang-aaway nang mga guardian na nagpapa-urong ng kaso ng mga bata. Sa BK ko nadevelop ang marami kong skills tulad ng courage, patience... OO PATIENCE na laging paalala ni Ate Nen dahil mainitin ang ulo ko at ang Integrity. Always na paalala ni Mam Zarah at kahit saako makarating naririnig ko ang bilin niyang INTEGRITY. 😇 Blessed to have a boss like her. Blessed to have colleagues like them.

May part time din ako noon na counseling. May bata akong na basic counseling cause she seems like lost. She has plans for herself, hindi niya lang ma express and I am happy to see that she is okay now. She is vocal and an achiever sa school 😭🥰

After almost 4 years sa Bahay Kanlungan, I tried new venture. I worked at TeleCPU. A project by Child Protection Network (#AkoParaSaBata) and Unicef. 🩵 A Multi-disciplinary team na ang focus din is crisis intervention to abused children. Child Protection Unit (CPU) is a "one stop shop" for the children victims of abuse. Dream job ko ang Philippine General Hospital (PGH) but knowing na mataas ang standards nila, I did not go for it at balak ko nga sa Province lang mag work, but then, God really has plans. God really knows our greatest desires. Pinagtrabaho niya ako sa PGH-CPU. 💙 A dream job. A dream team (SHOUTOUT MGA WENGWENG!) Dito ko na experience kumausap sa mga Barangay Officials at Barangay Workers. Na-experience makipag deal sa mga tao, sumagot ng helpline calls at maging MASTER TYPER sa APSB 😂 🧡 Naranasan ko rin tumulong mag-organize ng big events, gumising nang maaga at matulog ng late 😂 kahit na tinulugan ko si Doc at si Papi nung sinabi kong tutulong ako 😂 BEST BOSS SI DOC MARIANNE. 🤍 Natutunan ko maging organized (medyo) at mas maging professional sa working place. FOCUS kung FOCUS. Higit sa lahat natutunan kong respetuhin na may iba't iba tayong working styles at working phase. 🥰

Pero sabi ko nga, may plano si Lord. AT syempre, darating ang time na kinakailangan kong umuwi ulit sa province dahil ni Tala. Kung pwede ko nga lang siyang dalhin sa Manila eh. Honestly, ito na yata ang pinaka-challenging na trabaho para sa akin. After almost 5 years of working with child abuse cases, sea abuse naman 😅

I am currently employed at Malampaya Foundation. Isang napaka-generous na NGO. Wala akong masabi, bigay talaga sila ng incentives sa employees. Hindi ka tatamarin ng work, sa halip ma momotivate kang pataasin ang incentives at bonus mo. 🤣 #MukhangPeraWithAHeart Isa naman akong community organizer dito. Ang funny noh? Ang sabi ko ang strength ko ay COMMUNITY ORGANIZING pero heto ako ngayon sobrang nag-aadjust at hirap na hirap 😅 Kaya ko naman. I know I can pero dumarating talaga tayo sa career life natin na nalilito tayo at nahihirapan sa ginagawa natin. I am convincing myself to strive, to be better. Alam kong kaya ko and I am doing my best to help the communities na maiangat iyong livelihood nila at matulungan sila sa Marine Conservation kahit na basic lang ang alam ko.

Siguro isa sa kalakasan ko iyong adventurous akong tao. Tuwang tuwa ako noong nag-training ng Mangrove Assessment, wala man akong naintindihan sa terms pero noong practical na super go na go ako. Nag-enjoy akong mag-lakad sa putik at mag-sukat ng mangroves. Na-eenjoy ko na tuwing pupunta ako ng communities ay may mga kwento sila at naka-ngiti ko silang iiwan matapos ko silang matulungan kung paano nila matutulungan ang mga sarili nila. ❤️💙💛 Sa trabaho ko ngayon nahahasa ang resource mobilization skills ko at ang mediation skills.

I have a looooong way to go.

Marami pa akong gustong field na maranasan.

Ang pangarap ko talaga ay maging doctor. Pero one way or another, na realize ko na nanggagamot din ako, hindi man ng lagnat o anumang pisikal na sakit, pero nakakagamot ako sa kalidad at estado ng buhay ng mga tao. Nakakagaling ako ng mga emosyonal na sakit.

Masaya akong naging Social Worker ako.

Kahit minsan, litong lito na ako sa buhay ko.

HAPPY WORLD SOCIAL WORK'S DAY 💜 Maligayang Araw sa atin mga Manggagawang Panlipunan 💜 Nag-iba ka man ng landas, successful o nagiging successful ka pa lang

ARAW NATIN 'TOH! 💜🌻

the thing about art is that it was always supposed to be about us, about the human-ness of us, the impossible and beautiful reality that we (for centuries) have stood still, transfixed by music. that we can close our eyes and cry about the same book passage; the events of which aren't real and never happened. theatre in shakespeare's time was as real as it is now; we all laugh at the same cue (pursued by bear), separated hundreds of years apart.

three years ago my housemates were jamming outdoors, just messing around with their instruments, mostly just making noise. our neighbors - shy, cautious, a little sheepish - sat down and started playing. i don't really know how it happened; i was somehow in charge of dancing, barefoot and laughing - but i looked up, and our yard was full of people. kids stacked on the shoulders of parents. old couples holding hands. someone had brought sidewalk chalk; our front walk became a riot of color. someone ran in with a flute and played the most astounding solo i've ever heard in my life, upright and wiggling, skipping as she did so. she only paused because the violin player was kicking his heels up and she was laughing too hard to continue.

two weeks ago my friend and i met in the basement of her apartment complex so she could work out a piece of choreography. we have a language barrier - i'm not as good at ASL as i'd like to be (i'm still learning!) so we communicate mostly through the notes app and this strange secret language of dancers - we have the same movement vocabulary. the two of us cracking jokes at each other, giggling. there were kids in the basement too, who had been playing soccer until we took up the far corner of the room. one by one they made their slow way over like feral cats - they laid down, belly-flat against the floor, just watching. my friend and i were not in tutus - we were in slouchy shirts and leggings and socks. nothing fancy. but when i asked the kids would you like to dance too? they were immediately on their feet and spinning. i love when people dance with abandon, the wild and leggy fervor of childhood. i think it is gorgeous.

their adults showed up eventually, and a few of them said hey, let's not bother the nice ladies. but they weren't bothering us, they were just having fun - so. a few of the adults started dancing awkwardly along, and then most of the adults. someone brought down a better sound system. someone opened a watermelon and started handing out slices. it was 8 PM on a tuesday and nothing about that day was particularly special; we might as well party.

one time i hosted a free "paint along party" and about 20 adults worked quietly while i taught them how to paint nessie. one time i taught community dance classes and so many people showed up we had to move the whole thing outside. we used chairs and coatracks to balance. one time i showed up to a random band playing in a random location, and the whole thing got packed so quickly we had to open every door and window in the place.

i don't think i can tell you how much people want to be making art and engaging with art. they want to, desperately. so many people would be stunning artists, but they are lied to and told from a very young age that art only matters if it is planned, purposeful, beautiful. that if you have an idea, you need to be able to express it perfectly. this is not true. you don't get only 1 chance to communicate. you can spend a lifetime trying to display exactly 1 thing you can never quite language. you can just express the "!!??!!!"-ing-ness of being alive; that is something none of us really have a full grasp on creating. and even when we can't make what we want - god, it feels fucking good to try. and even just enjoying other artists - art inherently rewards the act of participating.

i wasn't raised wealthy. whenever i make a post about art, someone inevitably says something along the lines of well some of us aren't that lucky. i am not lucky; i am dedicated. i have a chronic condition, my hands are constantly in pain. i am not neurotypical, nor was i raised safe. i worked 5-7 jobs while some of these memories happened. i chose art because it mattered to me more than anything on this fucking planet - i would work 80 hours a week just so i could afford to write in 3 of them.

and i am still telling you - if you are called to make art, you are called to the part of you that is human. you do not have to be good at it. you do not have to have enormous amounts of privilege. you can just... give yourself permission. you can just say i'm going to make something now and then - go out and make it. raquel it won't be good though that is okay, i don't make good things every time either. besides. who decides what good even is?

you weren't called to make something because you wanted it to be good, you were called to make something because it is a basic instinct. you were taught to judge its worth and over-value perfection. you are doing something impossible. a god's ability: from nothing springs creation.

a few months ago i found a piece of sidewalk chalk and started drawing. within an hour i had somehow collected a small classroom of young children. their adults often brought their own chalk. i looked up and about fifteen families had joined me from around the block. we drew scrangly unicorns and messed up flowers and one girl asked me to draw charizard. i am not good at drawing. i basically drew an orb with wings. you would have thought i drew her the mona lisa. she dragged her mother over and pointed and said look! look what she drew for me and, in the moment, i admit i flinched (sorry, i don't -). but the mother just grinned at me. he's beautiful. and then she sat down and started drawing.

someone took a picture of it. it was in the local newspaper. the summary underneath said joyful and spontaneous artwork from local artists springs up in public gallery. in the picture, a little girl covered in chalk dust has her head thrown back, delighted. laughing.

#writeblr #warm up #this is longer than i wanted i really considered removing that part about myself and what i went thru #but i think it really fucking bothers me that EVERY time i talk about being an artist #ppl assume i just like. had the skill and ability to drop everything and pay for grad school.#like sir i grew up poor. my house wasn't a safe space. i gave up a FREE RIDE TO LAW SCHOOL. for THIS. bc i chose it.#was it fucking hard? was i choosing the hard thing?? yes.#but we need to stop seeing artists as lazy layabouts that can ''afford'' to just ''sit around and create''#when MANY - if not MOST - of us are NOT like that. we have to work our fucking ASSES off. hard work. long and hard work #part of valuing artists is recognizing the amount we sacrifice to make our art. bc it doesn't just #like HAPPEN to us. also btw it rarely has anything to do with true talent.#speaking as someone with a chronic condition i hate when ppl are like u have it easy. like actively as i'm writing this my hands r #ACTIVELY hurting me. i haven't been posting bc my left hand was curled in a claw for the last week #this isn't fucking luck. after a certain point it's not even TALENT. it's dedication & sacrifice.#''u get to flounce around and do nothing with ur life'' is a narrative that is a direct result of capitalism #imagine if we said that about literally any other profession.#''oh so u give up 10 yrs of ur life to be a doctor? u sacrifice having a social life and u get SUPER in debt?#u need to work countless hours and it will often be thankless? well i wish i was that lucky''#we should be applying that logic to landlords ONLY #''oh ur mom and dad gave u the money to buy a house? and all u did was paint it white and rent it? huh.''

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

#ao3 #archive of our own #organization for transformative works #i have admittedly only been a member of the committee for a couple of years BUT ive been a member on ao3 since i was much younger #and it took me a hot second to understand how ao3 works; so i wanted to write a lil post about it after seeing this comment #no shade or blame to the person who wrote this by the way!#after being on social media so much it's a completely understandable mistake and i totally get it #and in fandoms populated by younger ppl typically it's even more understandable!#so absolutely no hate no shade no passive aggressiveness #but i do think it is important to learn how the archive works #so if you'd like to share this it would be greatly appreciated! <3 #okay have a good day sorry this post/tags became so long haha

the machine.

a comic about being a 'creator' online.

creative notes:

#in light of recent online 'success' i feel like this may come off as ungrateful #just wanna say that all the comics i make in this series are written about experiences i felt in 2022 #which was a rough year personally and creatively #and i very luckily don't feel this way anymore #and this also isnt to shame anyone who DOES feel this way #its easy to start to feel like all you are is a vending machine of art #and like thats all you are to people #theres nothing human to you #it can be a bit of a pit #and on some level this damage is self inflicted but social media really doesnt help that feeling #this wont work for everyone but having friends around you who you can talk to about stuff that ISNT art #going outside for dinner #maybe walking around #its good for when you need that feeling to go away even a bit temporarily #youre a human being #not a mindless content creation machine #and i hope anyone who feels like this now can get to a place where they have a healthier relationship with their own work #good luck to all of you #and thank you for reading #comic art #its 10pm #stillindigo art

Ways to Live in Direct Opposition to Capitalism

I am by no means an expert in any of these things I’m gonna talk about, so keep that in mind! I am just making a compilation of things I know of that we can do to lessen the stranglehold the capitalist lifestyle has on us while enriching our lives, our surroundings, and the lives of others. Please add anything I miss or correct anything I may be getting wrong! Anyway here goes!

Use what you have, fix what’s you can, make what you can, accept from others, thrift what you can, and finally purchase as a last resort.

This is advice I have seen float around here a couple of times that can apply to a lot of things including clothing, furniture, food, and more besides. It’s meant to be done roughly in that order as it applies to what you’re wanting/needing/doing. It’s about preventing waste, promoting self-capability, having a heightened reliance on your community, and consciously rejecting the ingrained habit many of us have to just purchase things or services.

Here’s where you can read about growing an indoor garden!

Here’s where you can read about sewing things yourself!

Here’s an online site for giving and receiving items for free!

Here is where you can find a local Mutual Aid to get things from, learn skills from, give do, volunteer for, etc. (in the U.S.)

Be politically active! (from a U.S. perspective)

Vote for every election. Know your representatives and those who will be competing in the next election. Vote without ignorance and without falling for unfounded claims. While operating within the system that actively oppresses us will not bring about the future we want, it can serve as damage control (preventing worse candidates from taking office) and it can potentially create a national atmosphere more open to change.

Here’s a good article about getting more involved in the U.S. political process.

Here’s a site that will show you how to register to vote, when and where elections are held, and more!

Here’s good advice on finding protests in your city!

Here’s some readings on unionizing! It’s your legal right to unionize!

Here’s a more user friendly site for learning about unions!

Be active within your community!

Developing strong, motivated, capable, knowledgeable, and inclusive communities is the ultimate way to combat the relentless and bleak present and future. When you’ve worked on the things above and have gotten good at it (or even if you haven’t gotten good at it yet), start spreading what you know and what you can do with others!

Give your neighbors, coworkers, and friends some of the vegetables you’ve grown.

Invite your community members to volunteer events.

Talk to folks about how to vote, when you’re doing it, etc.

Take part in Mutual Aids to teach what you’ve learned or whatever you may be an expert in! Invite neighbors, friends, and coworkers when you take part in the Mutual Aid!

Accept your community. Take them for who and what they are. Discrimination is the enemy of cooperation. You have much more in common with everyone in your community than a single billionaire or corporation. We’re all passengers on this spaceship earth.

Do it one step at a time!

Obviously we can’t do all of these things at once. Do what you can when you can, and you’ll start to notice real change in your life!

Our online communities where we talk about our visions and hopes are fantastic, but they have little impact if we don’t actually get up and do the real work that change requires.

Want to be better, and keep hope for the future!

Harbor and nourish that desire to be a better person and to be the change you want to see in the world. You need to be hungry for a better future if you plan to make it through the rough times when everything feels pointless and without hope. Reach out to others when you’re down, and be someone others can lean on when their lives get hard.

That’s it! Please interact with this, spread it to others, and add your own thoughts and ideas! It’s important that we do the real work to get the change we crave!

The thing is, you don’t have to have a diagnoses to make simple “unmasking” changes that make your life easier. You don’t even have to self-diagnose! You are not appropriating anyone’s culture or struggles or hijacking anyone’s movement by allowing yourself to sway in line at the grocery store or buying a weighted blanket or using study or household hacks intended for people with ADHD. If you start favoring the needs that make your brain and body unique over the arbitrary norms of society, you’ll be better off, and you’ll be expanding the norms. It’s a win/win.

#sometimes I consider What I Have Going On Upstairs #and think 'should I try to get some sort of diagnosis?'#but it wouldn't help me right now! I don't need work accomodations - work IS the accomodation #but allowing myself to sit on the floor in the corner of the airport instead of on a chair #or fidget in lines #gives me one less thing to worry about AND makes my brain happy AND makes 'odd' but harmless behaviors #more normalized which ultimately helps people #who have needs that are several standard deviations away from ~~normal~~#it's a win-win-win #tam.txt #related but on a different line of thinking:#somewhere along the line we majorly screwed up with how we talk about appropriation #I think we're getting better but whoa boy...#seen some baffling takes about pretty normal things like socializing color codes for get-togethers #or weighted blankets #being Only For Autistic People #nah bro that's the last thing on earth the vast majority of disability advocates are interested in

There is a big question- Is family a universal institution?. This article helps to understand the universality of family. G.P. Murdock defined family as “common residence, economic cooperation and reproduction between two adults with the socially approved sexual relationship”. He studies 250 societies and based on his study he proved that the Nuclear family is functional in society i.e. family plays a functional role in society.
