.families are crucial consumers of goods and services ,which fuels the capitalism economy-it generates profit
.Adverts urge family’s to compete with friends for the latest status symbols and target children who have ‘pester power’
.Children who don’t have the latest toys ,clothes and gadgets are stigmatised and even disadvantaged (having a laptop for schoo)
How is Zaretskys view of the role of the family different to that of Parsons
He said that the family worked in the interests of capitalism ,he argued that in todays society there is an illusion that the family is a private space seperate from economics and capitalism and he argued that the family keeps capitalism going
In what way does the family worked to support capitalism
They help to stop the working class have a revolution against capitalism and establish a new social system
.it also provides alot of free labour-women work for capitalism system for free ,keep workers fed and clothed and produce the next generation of exploited workers
.workers with families are les likely ti rebel as their earnings effects them and their family (dependants)
How cab Zaretsky be criticised
.his work is outdated because the nature of work and families have changed especially womens roles in the workplace
