Assignment 3

1. The "instrumental" leader would take the lead on discussions and guide it so the assign tasked was accomplished. The "expressive" leader was the emotional support who kept the groups spirit up with jokes and positive remarks. The role of the husband was associated with the instrumental leader, while the wife was associated with the expressive leader. 
2. During this time women started entering the workforce and as a result the breadwinner family lost it's "dominant position" in society. This ultimately would change how the instrumental and expressive leaders would change in the household.
3. Conflict Theory focuses on power, control, or dominance over another individual or a group of people. This theory also wants to focus on the elimination over this dominance among individuals.4.Exchange theory is based off of ecology.

Feminist theory strives to bring about equality among both genders.
