This method requires you to be aware of your
menstrual cycle. The day one of your period is
the first day of the cycle. Counting from day 1,
mark day 8 in your calendar and move forward to
day 19. The days from day 8 to day 19 are the
most fertile days; hence sexual activities during
these days should be completely avoided. All the

It is a contraceptive ring that is inserted into the

the egg to be released from the ovaries. It also
restricts the movement of sperms by making the
cervical mucus thicker.
6 types of Modern Family
1. Nuclear Family - traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of two parents and
children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise
children. Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two-parent structure and
generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two adults.
2. Single Parent Family - consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. Often, a single
parent family is a mother with her children, although there are single fathers as well. The single parent
family is the biggest change society has seen in terms of the changes in family structures. One in four
children is born to a single mother.
3. Extended Family - consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living
in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common
goals, such as raising the children and keeping up with the household duties. Many extended families
include cousins, aunts or uncles and grandparents living together. This type of family structure may
form due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone.
4. Childless Family - While most people think of family as including children, there are couples who
either cannot or choose not to have children. The childless family is sometimes the "forgotten family,"
as it does not meet the traditional standards set by society. Childless families consist of a husband and
wife living and working together.
5. Stepfamily - Over half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get
remarried. This creates the stepfamily, which involves two separate families merging into one new
unit. It consists of a new husband and wife and their children from previous marriages or
relationships. Stepfamilies are about as common as the nuclear family, although they tend to have
more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues.
6. Grandparent Family - Many grandparents today are raising their grandchildren for a variety of
reasons. One in fourteen children is raised by his grandparents, and the parents are not present in the

child's life. This could be due to parents' death, addiction, abandonment or being unfit parents
Impact of modernization in diff. institutions

1. Family- these modernizations has developed positive outcomes for families by allowing them to
develop their relationships towards each other despite their differences or belonging to the norms of
society. The cons towards these modernizations are the peers acting towards the children upon their
differences and the battle of developing relationships with the members of the family.
2. School- The pros include the wider opportunities of learning toward modern family and to provide a
better understanding through education the differences and to how family origins are capable of
determining ones character. The cons would be the confusion brought to people by the complex status
of families to the society.
3. Religion- The church has been opinionated towards family issues and acceptance has been developed
towards the society. Acceptance that families doesnt always go by the bible and is more difficult to
understand but with the help of religion, the community gets to understand and accept such
differences. Cons would be the nonstop debate of whats right and whats not in terms of the bible.
4. Government- Due to these modernizations, the government has continued to develop rights for
women and children to solve family struggles to find solutions on dilemmas of taking responsibilities
towards the topic of children. Cons have been the relationship of the state and the church and how it

continues to challenge each other towards their differences.

As an Augustinian,
I see importance on the background of a family and understand at how greatly it could affect ones

being. Modern family is no issue for me as an Augustinian student. With the fast changes in the norms of
life, it comes to no surprise of having changes of such things related to this. For me, a family is being in a
group of people who care and love one another. It is not defined by blood but love. We cannot control
events on everyones life, including failed or successful relationships. The important part of being in a
family is looking out for the children and making sure of providing them the future that they deserve.
