Critical Thinking Questions
Sociologists sometimes consider step families to be anomic- or normless. How do you think the lack of norms regarding step family interactions affects the success of remarriages?
When a child says to a step parent "You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my mom (or dad)!" what is the norm that the child is relying upon? What is the solution to this problem suggested in the video? Could this become a norm for step families?
