ASSIGNMENT 1

Case study based work
Questions
1) Discuss the type of family that is presented in the case study and
substantiate your answer by identifying all the issues observable in this
family. [6]
Nuclear family, also called elementary family, in sociology and anthropology, a group
of people who are united by ties of partnership and parenthood and consisting of a
pair of adults and their socially recognized children. Typically, but not always, the
adults in a nuclear family are married. Although such couples are most often a man
and a woman, the definition of the nuclear family has expanded with the advent of
same-sex marriage. Children in a nuclear family may be the couple’s biological or
adopted offspring.
It is safer to assume that what is universal is a “nuclear family complex” in which the
roles of husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, and sister are
embodied by people whose biological relationships do not necessarily conform to the
Western definitions of these terms. In matrilineal societies, for example, a child may
be the responsibility not of his biological genitor but of his mother’s brother, who
fulfils the roles typical of Western fatherhood.
Thus in our scenario, thus the Mothopy family qualifies to be such having the father
abusing daga and offspring’s or sibling whose age ranging from 10 to 15 respectively
2. Select three communication skills that you would use with this family in an
attempt to address its problematic situation. Explain how you would use these
communication skills. [9]
In addition to general language proficiency (adequate vocabulary and knowledge of
syntax), effective communication involves the ability to listen and read with
comprehension, to present one's thoughts clearly both in speech and in writing, to
accept that the perspectives of others may differ from one's own. The five types of
communication you need to know about are verbal communication, nonverbal
communication, written communication, visual communication, and listening. For
