Study Of Rural Families In Systems Theory Unexpected Incidents

With the advent of risk society, rural families have to face with more and more unexpected incidents. At the same time, with administation system highly integrated, rural society showed the tendency of atomization, and rural families'ability to cope with the risk of unexpected incidents is declining. In view of system theory, family unexpected incident as a great destructive accident which leads to family disintegration and difficulties in family functioning is bound to cause a variety of the impacts on rural family network systems. As a return, the rural family network system as the environmental background of family unexpected incident also is bound to have some constraining effects on family unexpected incident.Family network system, as one small part of society system, refers to the whole networks of relationships formed amond family members and between family members and other individuals, groups and organizations. There are sorts of resources exchanged such as economic material resources, informational resources, spirital and emotional resources and management resources for family affairs in family network system. Family network system is the product of social interaction and family interaction, and at same time it is the background environment of family behaviors and strategies. Family network system is composed by family inner network, family relatives and friends network, family community network and family social network. Family inner network is the core of the family network system, that is, we normally refer to family or family organization body. Family relatives and friends network, family community network, family social networks constitute the outer part of family network system– family outer network, which is the product of social practice of family and its members. Family outer network is the outward extension of family inner network, as in turn, it also constitutes the family environment. A part of family outer network played the role of supporting the accident family is called family support network system. Rural family support network lacks of organization networks, and belongs to private support network.Family unexpected incidents affect the family through a direct impact on the family structure, family economic base and the spirit and emotional foundations of family, and lead to the disintegration of the family structure or family functioning obstacle. Family unexpected incidents take the incident respose behavior and the incident cognitive behavior as the media, and indirectly bring a series of negative impacts to the family outer network systems, and even to community and society through specific routes of transmission, such as causing damage to families of the relatives and friends, or causing instability in the community, or reducing the degree of community or social recognition, or leading family unexpected incidents to escalate, etc..The constraining functions of family network system achieve through the family's immediate strategies and post-recovery strategies. Family immediate strategy solves the urgent problems derived from the accident, and prevents the accident from escalating, or prevents family situation from further deteriorating. Its type and effect are determined by family network system, in particular the composition and the scale of family support network, the assistance frequency and amount of resources provided by family support network. The aim of family post-recovery strategies is to reconstruct the damaged family bases and restore the family function by using network resources.The type of post-recovery strategies often is determined by the comparison distribution of resources in family network both within and outside the family network system. The effect of the post-recovery strategies is directly affected by the composition and size of family inner network system, especially the composition and the size of family support network, the frequency and amount of family resource exchange between the inside and outside the family, and so on.Under the interaction between family unexpected incident and family network system, there are two consequences: (1) When the accident family has a relatively good family network system environment, Family organization wouldn't disintergrate though family network function impaired or partially paralyzed, family members wouldn't live on the streets, and there would be marginal negative impacts on family members, the community and the society. (2) When the accident family has a poor family network system environment, the family organization would disintegrate, the family members would have to live on the streets, and there would be signifcant negative effects on the family members, the community and the society. These similarities and differences,which appeared during the process of the family to copy with family unexpected incidents in Q natural villages and the neighboring ones,are the result of differentiation of the similarities and differences amond family network systems under the particular social systems and cultural conditions. Limited space explosion phenomenon and principles can provide a more vivid description about the phenomena and mechanism priciples of interaction betweem family network systems and family unexpected incidents.When the nation and society try to build family organizational support network by developping rural social organization, establishing rural social security system and rural familiy rescue mechanism, rural families should build the private family support network system in their daily lives through mutual gift and mutual aid as forming their practical moral values. Thus there will ultimately be an effective family network system of responsing to family unexpected incidents.
