What are the conflict between the single parents and the community?

Please help me out with detailed answers. And helpful websites would be great too! Thank you.What are the conflict between the single parents and the community?
Many single parents still find that others hold a certain stereotype of them. Characteristics of this single parent typically include:


Young


Female


Inexperienced


Clamouring for benefits


This stereotype is offensive to most single parents, and requires much energy to explode. Finding other single parents for support is a great way to gain the energy and motivation to fight this stereotype.

Loss of Community Resources:


A way the loss or absence of a parent affects children is by lowering their community resources. This occurs in two ways, The first is primarily an income effect. Families with more income can afford to live in communities with better facilities, and since sigle-parenthood reduces income, it slo restricts families to areas where resources are low





Divorce or separation also reduce children鈥檚 connection鈥檚 to their community. Just as strong parent-child relationships provide children with social capital, so do strong community connections.





When parents and children live in a community for a long time they develop close ties that provide emotional support as well as information about the broader community. When families move or separate, these ties are often destroyed.

How Single Parenting Hurts Children's Chances for Success: Two sociologists argue that children from single-parent homes suffer a loss of economic, parental, and community resources. These losses limit their abilities to achieve in school, in the workplace, and to avoid early childbearing.

The Social Consequences of Single Parenthood:

This is an important and enlightening question. I had never thought of it as a clash between the community and the family. But since


a single parent has to play 2 roles and usually needs much help


with the process of raising children, I can see how it would place


a strain on the community.


I suppose that a single parent is under so much stress that


having time and energy to show love and affection to the children


comes after earning a living and running a household and preparing


meals, etc. Not a lot left to offer. Children look elsewhere for


love and acceptance and may find it in gangs.
