Family chosen for this particular assessment was a large family that seemed likely to provide plenty of interesting anomalies and peculiarities. The structural assessment of the family includes three aspects; 1) internal, 2) external, and 3) context. The internal aspect is composed of who is in the family and how they are connected. This family has two parents; a man and a woman (although the father recently passed away). The family is composed of 12 children, eight boys and four girls. The mother is 70 years of age, and the children range in age from 30 -- 54 years old. The children are all married (or have been) and all have produced offspring as well. Additionally, a number of the offspring have attained an age(s) that allows them the capability of reproducing, subsequently there are a number great-grandchildren as well (with additional buns in the oven as the term so appropriately applies). The majority of the offspring are male, but the female gender is not forgotten since approximately 45% of the offspring are of that gender. Many of the offspring are connected by name, all are connected through a sense of family.
The family, of course, believes that all the cousins, nephews and nieces, as well as the children's spouses and any spouses of the children's children are all family members as well. The family also believes that they are connected by their religion and their beliefs. All of the children are members of the same religion (Latter Day Saints) with only one child in a non-active role within the church. The LDS religion which they adhere to is one that requires members to abstain from alcohol, drugs, tobacco and other substances that are addictive. Church members are also expected to be morally clean, and sexual relations outside of marriage are prohibited.
The female role is considered to be on the highest order with motherhood a calling of grave importance. The male role is considered to be the provider and supporter of the family. Together they are to teach the children regarding the church standards and beliefs. This does not mean that women do not work outside the home, many do. It also does not mean that the male is the...

Same Sex Adoption Why is the idea of a same sex couple adopting a child an anathema to some conservatives, evangelical Christians, and others that tend to lean to the political right? Is it because they are homophobic and basically believe that gays and lesbians are not worthy of being in a union to begin with? Is it because they believe only their heterosexual union under the banner of Christianity qualifies

(Cherrington, 1973) These types of rewards are referred to as contingent rewards. The theory is that employees are willing to put forth extra effort if they know they will be rewarded accordingly. Cherrington and his colleagues surmised that no inherent link between satisfaction and performance exists. Instead, satisfaction and performance are dependent upon performance-contingent awards. (Cherrington, 1971) Three types of rewards can be found in an organization. They are random,
