Power Dynamics and Gender Within Family Structures

This exam focuses on the assessment of power dynamics and their interactions with gender within family structures. Candidates will critically analyze how power is negotiated and expressed between different family members, including parents and children.

The exploration of power dynamics is vital for understanding broader social issues, such as inequality within domestic spaces and its reflections in societal norms. Insights gained here will contribute to both academic knowledge and practical implications in fields such as social work and family counseling.

Candidates will demonstrate their ability to articulate the nuances of gendered power relations within family life, providing examples from various contexts that illustrate their understanding of these dynamics.

Potential discussions may include how these power dynamics shift with changing societal roles and expectations, especially during times of crisis or transition.
