NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Parsons, although the nuclear family performs reduced functions, it is still the only institution that can perform two core functions in society – Primary Socialisation and the Stabilisation of Adult Personalities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parsons also argued that families helped to prevent adults from behaving in disruptive or dysfunctional ways, instead encouraging them to conform to social norms, especially at times of stress. The family provides emotional support to its members. Parsons famously described this in his warm bath theory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parsons divides socialisation up into primary and secondary socialisation: primary socialisation takes place in the family, where we learn the particular norms and values of our family and community. Later, we learn universalistic values through school, the media and other agents of socialisation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parsons claims that human personalities are made and not born. They are created through the process of socialisation. The main agent of primary socialisation is the family. There are two separate elements to this: the primary socialisation of children and the stabilisation of adult personalities.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parsons developed the idea that an ideal career is based on matching personal traits like skills, values and personality, with job factors, such as pay and work environment. The better the fit, the higher an individual’s job satisfaction and success.
