Contemporaneous academic familial classification schemes. Posted on 04/21/2019 4:14:59 PM PDT by vannrox
Throughout all of human history, and all over the world (independent of culture), families fall into only two distinct categories. These categories are simple but fundamental.
They describe how the families operate.
Of course, there are other ways to break down the composition of families and their structure. These other ways are complex and serve no purpose other than to confuse. In these other arrangments, you have families classified by the number and types of children, and the marriage states of the primary caregivers, as well as the gender variations, present in the families. It is silly. Really.
All are nonsensical.
It is like arguing over the benefits of the percentage of chocolate in brownies.
They are nonsensical simply because the classifications have no practicality. At least from the point of view of the people within the families. This type and kind of classification has limited utility. They are useful by government agencies in the distribution of benefits. They are useful in the creations of studies and academic papers. However, in terms of the lifestyle and benefits of the families themselves, this classification has no benefit.
You can scour the internet looking in a vague hope towards understanding the fundamental nature of human families. You can search and search. But you won't ever find out why human families form relationships and parental units. Nor will you discover the forms that they take and why. Instead, you will find all sorts of trivialities. Just useless information. Useless.
Such as this...

Is your life improved by knowing these various classifications? If so, please tell me how.
It's sort of like classifying dogs.
In the case of human families and their famial arrangments, you will come across terms of "nuclear family", and "extended family" and "foster family", etc. These different titles only serve government agencies for the distribution of welfare benefits, they do not address familial operation.
For in familial operation, all families can be classified in but one of two distinctly different types.
The two types of classifications of what a family is are very straight forward. Humans form one of two types of families. There are no "shades of grey" in this matter. They are either [1] traditional, conservative families or [2] progressive, liberal families.
While there are variations in both types of families given cultural, social, and ethnic norms, for the most part there are two, and ONLY two types of families.
Here we discuss the two types.
Let's start with the prevalent type in America today. This is the progressive liberal family structure.
It was not always this way. To understand why it is this way today, you need to know a little about American history.
This is a recent familial structure. Historically, Americans have overwhelmingly had a Conservative Traditional familial structure for the last two hundred years. However, all this started to change around the first decade of 1900. The major driver for this change was the destruction of the 4th amendment when the 16th amendment was passed, and the imposition of the income tax burden and the Federal Reserve.

Make sure the married husband and wife are XY and XX in the traditional family.
It’s also the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto where the Texans wihipped the Mexicans With a score of 850 to 11 dead and 200 Wounded to 30.
Revenge for Goliad and the Alamo.
Remember the Alamo!
The sweet sounds of the screams of
“Me No Goliad!”
“Me No Alamo!”
Rings in my ears.
As true social justice was meted out. Today it’s called a war crime.
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
—Leo Tolstoy (Anna Karenina)
I’ve always loved that quote. So true!
Very interesting, and right to the point. Makes total sense to me.
Mother Government; She destroys EVERYTHING in Her path, while producing NOTHING!
And Dems want more and MORE of it - even seeing the destruction they’ve already caused!
I’ll never understand it. Never.
Democrats - The Party of Death and Taxes.
In government, everything is a chain reaction. Once you try to “improve” one thing, another thing is destroyed.
