What is the definition of a dysfunctional family?
- A.
  
  One that cannot communicate very well
- B.
  
  One that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment
- C.
  
  One that cannot provide financially for those in it
Correct Answer
B. One that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment

Explanation
A dysfunctional family is defined as one that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment. This means that the family is unable to create a supportive and stable atmosphere for its members, resulting in emotional, physical, or psychological harm. Communication issues and financial struggles may be present in a dysfunctional family, but they are not the defining characteristics. The focus is on the inability to create a safe and nurturing environment, which is essential for healthy family dynamics.

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Dysfunction in a family is typically not a deliberate choice made by its members. Families may experience dysfunction due to various factors such as communication problems, unresolved conflicts, or unhealthy patterns of behavior. It is important to recognize that dysfunction can develop unintentionally and that families often require support and intervention to address and overcome these issues.

How can dysfunctional families be said to communicate?
- A.
  
  Laterally
- B.
  
  Sideways
- C.
  
  Reciprocally
Correct Answer
B. Sideways

Explanation
Dysfunctional families can be said to communicate "sideways" because communication within such families often occurs indirectly or through nonverbal cues. In dysfunctional families, open and direct communication is often avoided, and family members may resort to passive-aggressive behavior, manipulation, or avoidance tactics to express their thoughts and emotions. This sideways communication style can create misunderstandings, conflicts, and a lack of emotional connection within the family.

Homeostasis is the tendency towards maintaining a balance.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is correct because homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. It involves various physiological processes that work together to regulate body temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, and other vital functions. By constantly monitoring and adjusting these factors, the body ensures that it stays within a narrow range necessary for optimal functioning. Therefore, homeostasis is indeed the tendency towards maintaining a balance.

William James wrote "Man alone, of all the creatures of the earth, can change his own pattern. Man alone is the architect of his destiny. The greatest discovery in our generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer, True, is that William James believed that humans have the unique ability to change their own patterns and shape their own destiny. He argued that the greatest discovery of his generation was the realization that by altering their inner attitudes and mindset, individuals can bring about changes in their external circumstances and experiences. This suggests that humans have the power to influence and transform their lives through their thoughts and beliefs.
