The growth of family diversity has led to a decline of the traditional nuclear family due to an increase in single parents, around 10% are fathers and 90% are mothers. This is partly caused by the changing role of women, women are becoming much more independent and are more likely to become a single parent due to the decreasing willingness to put up with the difficulties of men and the high expectations of marriage, which are causing an increase in divorce. Also due to globalisation and cultural differences, one in ten white women with children are single whereas about half of Caribbean women with children are single, this is due to a low partnership rate, low marriage rates, high separation rates, absent fathers and the disruption of ‘normal’ family life, which all contribute to Caribbean families not being stable, even though the Caribbean population in the UK is 2.5 %.…

Family life has always been a topic of research and questioning. However, after reviewing different sources dealing with different backgrounds and perspectives, questions still remain. What makes the family? Do certain cultures really change the upbringing, mindset, and outcome of the individual? In the following paper, the Hispanic-American family life will be analyzed in-depth with the help of collected data to present the different characteristics of the widespread culture.

Most candidates emphasized the social role of the family such as nurturing, caring, providing food and shelter but ignored the wider role of the family and failed to acknowledge the other functions of the family. Also, candidates failed to acknowledge the changes in the family and how this impacts society and culture. Candidates mentioned the popular family types but failed to mention same-sex families as an emerging family type. Some candidates had knowledge of families but could have deepened the discussion by citing examples to bring out the arguments, such as the incidence of crime and illegal drug use within the nuclear and extended families. Some full responses were produced on Hindu and Muslim families, particularly in Trinidad, Guyana and Jamaica. A reasonable number of candidates who understood the question scored high marks.…

Farming is the term used to describe the practice of agriculture, the activity or business of growing crops and raising livestock. Farming can be either subsistent or commercial. Subsistence farming is the type of farming in which most of the produce reared is consumed by the farmer only. Subsistence farming is a way of life devoted for the provision of food for one’s home or community. Some crops grown on subsistence farms are yams, corn, sweet potatoes, watermelons, bananas, okras and much more. On the other hand, Commercial farming is where the farmer grows crops solely for the purpose of sale with a large demand. According to Neil E. Sealey, Commercial farming is essentially the farming of a product for sale, and food is not always the thing produced: it may be a fiber such as cotton, or an animal product like wool. Commercial farms are also known as plantations. An example of this kind of farm is the large citrus farms of Abaco.…
