Reference Information: Scanzoni, John (2001). From the Normal Family to Alternate Families to the Quest for Diversity With Interdependence, Journal or Family Issues, vol. 22 No. 6, September 2001, 688710.
Purpose of Study: To look at the changes and the diversity of the households from the late 1960’s to present, both from the constructionist and the functionalistic view. And figuring out which family style works the best to meet both the family and societies needs.
Sampling Comments: Otto (1970), “man can create marriage and family possibilities uniquely suited to his time, place and situation.” Sussman and Cogswell (1972) “…adults must live for themselves and not only for their children.” The standard family (nuclear) stifled mutual confidant between mates. Single parenting was viewed as a temporary condition, which would resolve when the parent remarried, thus it wasn’t seen as a “real” family.
Measures: The standard family (or nuclear family) was faired to the different variant families such as single parents, homosexual, multimarriages, and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Scanzoni reviewed and summarized the functionalist and constructionalist models and theories starting from post World War II to the present.
Findings/Results/Main Points: Functionalists support the model that views a new standard family were previous traditional roles are in place while the children are young in order to promote optimal child development. Scanzoni’s research found that developmentalists believe that it is more the lifelong encounters between a child’s genetic makeup, personality and social context and not just the first few years of life. While the functionalists want to exclude the community, the constructionalists believe that the community makes the family. “Families are produced and created by the actions of persons operating within the social structure and cultural milieu that surrounds them (Maines, 2000).” They also believe that if the community views a groups as not mainstream than that group is likely not to succeed.
Conclusion: While one believes that negotiations build a stronger family and community the other does not believe in negotiation of any type. The citizens that feel the neostandard model is better state they would have a hard time fairing up. This selfdoubt along with lack of support may stifle their innovations. Most citizens admit to wanting the neostandard model for themselves and their children but are willing to accept the reality of the variant family. “Because there is no best family pattern to stray from, there can be no variants that are invariably judged as lesser. Then and only then have we taken the first step toward embracing genuine diversity, (Scanzoni 1989).” To date there is no one household model that is flawless but household variety has been found to enrich the family. Household diversity with interdependence that builds a strong sense of community has been found to be healthy.

Growing up, my mom usually packed my lunch for school. I was totally happy eating the same thing day after day- typically a sandwich of some kind on whole wheat bread. Most kids in my grade school packed their lunches, but in high school things changed a little. I would pack my lunch, but then I’d also see what was being served in the lunch line. I’d usually buy some french fries and/or a soda (which I still love but now it is diet soda), to “round out” my healthy meal. There were lots of high calorie, high fat foods to choose from.
I had friends (in grade school and high school) who bought their lunches daily. Sometimes there would be salad on their plates, but more often it was things like pizza and tator tots. That’s why I wasn’t surprised to read about a new study which found that kids who regularly purchased school lunches were more likely to be obese than those who brought their lunches.
In this study of sixth graders, published in the American Heart Journal, it found that students were 29% more likely to be obese if they ate school lunches. “Of the 142 obese children in the study for whom dietary information was known, almost half were school-lunch regulars, compared with only one-third of the 787 who were not obese.” More than two hours per day in front of the T.V. also increases the risk of childhood obesity but surprisingly, not by as much- only 19%.
Although many schools have relied on high energy food with little nutritional value in the past because it’s cheaper, that could soon be changing. “Under a federal law passed last December, Department of Agriculture guidelines will limit the number of calories served at every school meal and require programs to offer a variety of fruits and vegetables.”
Are you surprised by these findings? What kind of experience have you had with school lunches? When you reply to others make sure to compare your experiences to their own and extend the discussion by explaining what impact these changes might bring.
