Social class has an interesting influence on the purposes of the family. But first what are the purposes of the family. I think that they are: to bring to pass Heavenly Fathers plan; bring children into the world; provide structure for children; contribute to society; help children establish expectations and hopes; offer love and support; and the list could go on and on! So, how does the social class influence these things? Studies show that lower class people tend to get pregnant out of wedlock more often. This situation alone effects many of the purposes of the family. It is hard to provide structure and support as a single parent.
In class I heard an interesting saying that goes like this "One of the best ways to ensure no poverty is to have a father in the home." Most times men have this drive and known responsibility inside of them to provide for the family. I thought that was really interesting!
