Please submit short responses to the following questions based on reading “Children of Strangers” (pages 223-268) in Strangers Drowning By Larissa MacFarquhar and reviewing resources about feminist theory, social bonds theory, and power-control theory. Each question is worth 1 point unless noted otherwise. Please note this chapter includes references to physical and sexual abuse of children.
What gender norms did Sue and Hector break as parents?
What do we learn and don’t learn about Hector and Sue’s efforts to prevent early pregnancy/unmarried parenthood among their children? How did Hector and Sue handle sex education of their children? [2 points]
What information would a power-control theorist make to explain the problematic behavior (delinquent, criminal, and negatively deviant) the children, Hector and Sue engaged in at different moments of their lives?
Answer this another question;
Investigating deviant (or criminal) behavior involves developing research methods and ethical stances that may not be effective for research related to conforming behavior. What major challenge do you think MacFarquhar faced to conduct research for the chapter about Sue, Hector and their family of adopted children? What do you think MacFarquhar should have done differently or have included as a research method to overcome this challenges?
