The purpose of this blog is to document families in their ever day lives as well as institutions tied to the family. Sociologists study families due to their dynamic structure, the structures that influence them, and the ways that they in turn influence individuals. This blog seeks to capture some of the sociological questions families and the institutions surrounding them ignite.

Photo 2: I took this picture of a grocery store when going grocery shopping one day.
Sociological Perspective: How is the food that families eat indicative of the class that family belongs to? How is nutrition and health tied to family well-being? How is food tied to family relations? In different cultures, how is food seen differently? What is the meaning and significance of food for the "Normal American family''? How do families teach how how to eat, what is healthy, and what is normal when it comes to food?
