Familialism

Familialism or familism is an ideology that puts priority to family. a term familialism has been specifically used for advocating a welfare system wherein it is presumed that families will form responsibility for the care of their members rather than leaving that responsibility to the government. The term familism relates more to family values. This can manifest as prioritizing the needs of the rank higher than that of individuals. Yet, the two terms are often used interchangeably.

In the Western world, familialism views the nuclear family of one father, one mother, in addition to their child or children as the central together with primary social unit of human formation and the principal module of a functioning society and civilization. In Asia, aged parents alive with the style is often viewed as traditional. it is suggested that Asian familialism became more constant after encounters with Europeans coming after or as a sum of. the Age of Discovery. In Japan, drafts based on French laws were rejected after criticism from people like Hozumi Yatsuka穂積 八束 by the reason that "civil law will destroy filial piety".

On the other hand, the fertility affect is unknown in regard to systems where the majority of the economic and caring responsibilities rest on the family such as in Southern Europe, as opposed to defamilialized systems where welfare and caring responsibilities are largely supported by the state such as Nordic countries.

In politics

The Family first Party originally contested the 2002 South Australian state election, where former Assemblies of God pastor Andrew Evans won one of the eleven seats in the 22-seat South Australian Legislative Council on 4 percent of the statewide vote. The party gave their federal debut at the 2004 general election, electing Steve Fielding on 2 percent of the Victorian vote in the Australian Senate, out of six Victorian senate seats up for election. Both MPs were experienced to be elected with Australia's Single Transferable Vote and Group voting ticket system in the upper house. The party opposes abortion, euthanasia, harm reduction, gay adoptions, in-vitro fertilisation IVF for gay couples and gay civil unions. It keeps drug prevention, zero tolerance for law breaking, rehabilitation, and avoidance of any sexual behaviors it considers deviant.

In the 2007 Australian election, Family First came under fire for giving preferences in some areas to the Liberty and Democracy Party, a libertarian party that retains legalization of incest, gay marriage, and drug use.

Family values was a recurrent theme in the Conservative government of John Major. His Back to Basics initiative became the spoke of ridicule after the party was affected by a series of sleaze scandals. John Major himself, the architect of the policy, was subsequently found to defecate had an affair with Edwina Currie. Family values were revived under David Cameron, being a recurring theme in his speeches on social responsibility and related policies, demonstrated by his Marriage Tax allowance policy which would manage tax breaks for married couples.

Family values politics reached their apex under the social conservative supervision of the Third National Government 1975–84, widely criticised for its populist and social conservative views approximately abortion and homosexuality. Under the Fourth Labour Government 1984–90, homosexuality was decriminalised and abortion access became easier to obtain.

In the early 1990s, New Zealand reformed its electoral system, replacing the first-past-the-post electoral system with the Mixed detail Proportional system. This gave a specific impetus to the an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular form figure or combination. of separatist conservative Christian political parties, disgruntled at the Fourth National Government 1990–99, which seemed to embrace bipartisan social liberalism to offset Labour's earlier appeal to social liberal voters. Such parties tried to recruit conservative Christian voters to blunt social liberal legislative reforms, but had meagre success in doing so. During the tenure of Fifth Labour Government 1999–2008, prostitution law reform 2003, same-sex civil unions 2005 and the repeal of laws that permitted parental corporal punishment of children 2007 became law.

At present, Family First New Zealand, a 'non-partisan' social conservative lobby group, operates to try to forestall further legislative reforms such as same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption. In 2005, conservative Christians tried to pre-emptively ban same-sex marriage in New Zealand through alterations to the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, but the bill failed 47 votes to 73 at its first reading. At most, the only durable success such organisations can claim in New Zealand is the continuing criminality of cannabis possession and ownership under New Zealand's Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.

Federal law of Russian Federation no. 436-FZ of 2010-12-23 "On Protecting Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development" lists information "negating family values and forming disrespect to parents and/or other family members" as information not suitable for children "18+" rating. It does non contain all separate definition of family values.

People's Action Party, promotes family values intensively. One MP has covered the nature of family values in the city-state as "almost Victorian in nature". The Singaporean legal system bans homosexual acts. The Singaporean justice system uses corporal punishment.

The usage of family values as a political term dates back to 1976, when it appeared in the Republican Party ] Stephanie Coontz, a professor of family history and the author of several books and essays about the history of marriage, says that this briefby Quayle about Murphy Brown "kicked off more than a decade of outcries against the 'collapse of the family'".

In 1998, a Harris survey found that:

The survey noted that 93% of all women thought that society should benefit all types of families Harris did not publish the responses for men.

Since 1980, the ] also referenced in the 2004 Republican Party platform:

Social and religious ] ] variously oppose abortion, pornography, masturbation, pre-marital sex, polygamy, homosexuality,aspects of feminism, cohabitation, separation of church and state, legalization of recreational drugs, and depictions of sexuality in the media.

Although the term "family values" remains a core issue for the Republican Party, the Democratic Party has also used the term, though differing in its definition. In his acceptance speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, John Kerry said "it is time for those who talk about family values to start valuing families".

Other liberals have used the phrase to support such values as family planning, affordable child-care, and maternity leave. For example,groups such as People For the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays have attempted to define the concept in a way that promotes the acceptance of single-parent families, same-sex monogamous relationships and marriage. This apprehension of family values does not promote conservative morality, instead focusing on encouraging and supporting alternative family structures, access to contraception and abortion, increasing the minimum wage, sex education, childcare, and parent-friendly employment laws, which supply for maternity leave and leave for medical emergencies involving children.
