| Summary: | The problem of attaining conformity to a set of distinctive normative family values in a rapidly changing, pluralistic society is related to the normal functioning of such a social system as it moves toward a workable equilibrium, inasmuch as family norms tend to be modified in terms of dominant cultural beliefs, while related elements in the culture are adjusted accordingly. This statement implies that an enduring society has functional prerequisites, that one element of a culture requires others, and that there exists a close interrelationship between the family and other relevant institutions. Finally, it is suggested that members of the American Catholic minority are facing additional problems in achieving conformity because of their increased mobility and outmoded system of religious indoctrination. |
