The paper helped in gaining an understanding of the nuclear family and its functioning. It is recognized that the nuclear family contains two parents and two children. Smith’s family has been selected because of the evidence of sociological issues identified in the family. It is considered that Mr. Smith holds a belief that man has full power and control over women and thus, he does not provide any power to his wife to make decisions on any matter. Mrs. Smith is responsible for doing all household chores and disciplining the children. Domestic violence impact the development of the children and thus, it is significant for the nuclear family to have proper family dynamics to increase the emotional and cognitive development of the children
