    1. When rating themselves, parents will often respond in a socially desirable way, intentionally or not.

      what are other ways to collect this data that isn't invasive, but can produce the true ratings?

    2. If a parent gives in to escalating demands from their child, the child learns that they will get what they want if they intensify their anger and resistance

      the different "levels' of SA

    1. from consensus (with all or most members of a group feeling the same way), the conflict perspective

      This is a case of putting the businesses and corporations needs (conflict perspective) over that of people within the society that the law actually affects (consensus)

    2. Law is an historical and cultural product; that is to say, it is a social construct.
