Подскажите,как перевести этот текст 11. family roles and communication rules are strongly interrelated, as each contributes to the maintenance or change of the other. rules may structure certain role relationships, while particular role relationships may foster the development of certain rules. for example, such rules as “children should not hear about family finances” or “school problems are to be settled with mother” reinforce a position-oriented structure; in turn, such a structure contributes to the creation of this type of rule. 12. current literature on family roles often centers on terms such as dual-career couples and dual-earner couples. these terms also need to be clarified. the term dual-career couple refers to a pair where each pursues full-time career advancements. each spouse feels committed to achieve professional growth as well as marital satisfaction. by contrast, in a dual-earner couple, both spouses have taken a job in the labor force primarily for economic reasons (hansen 1991). this couple usually cannot make ends meet on one salary, and the issue of career growth is not of major importance. clearly there are many variations of these two spousal arrangements. in order to better understand family roles, you need to examine the sources of role expectations and the determinants of role performance. how many of you remember making comments like “when i’m a parent, i’ll listen to my kids.” most of you have spent time planning how you will perform a specific future role based on your expectations. role expectations. society provides models and norms for how certain family roles should be assumed. currently the media is an important societal source of family role expectations. look at any newsstand and you will see articles on “how to” be a good parent, grandparent, stepparent, etc. television has provided many family role models from the time of father knows best to the young and the restless to roseanne. parents get daily advice from talk show hosts and their guests. advertising reinforces stereotypes of how family members should act. 15. daily life within a community also serves as a source of role expectations. as you were growing up, the neighbors and your friends all knew who were the “good” mothers or the “bad” kids on the block or in the community. religious leaders presented exhortations for the “good family life.” school personnel promoted “good” parenting. each of you has grown up with expectations of how people should function in family roles, just as this example shows.
