Question 3

The Randhawa family is an Indian family who just bought a new house with three bedrooms.There are two parents (a mother and a father), a 3-year-old daughter, a 17-year-old (postpubescent) daughter, and a 20-year-old (postpubescent) son.Based only on the values of female chastity anxiety and respect for hierarchy, design a floorplan for their arrangement of bedrooms that satisfies both values.Explain how the bedroom arrangement satisfies these values.Be sure to note who sleeps in each bedroom.

Accepted Answer

Based on the values of female chastity anxiety and respect for hierarchy, the floorplan for the Randhawa family's arrangement of bedrooms could be as follows:

1. The parents (mother and father) will have their own bedroom. This satisfies the value of respect for hierarchy as it acknowledges the parents' need for privacy and space. It also aligns with the value of female chastity anxiety by providing a separate space for the married couple.

2. The 3-year-old daughter will have her own bedroom. This satisfies the value of female chastity anxiety by providing a separate space for the young daughter to ensure her safety and privacy.

3. The 17-year-old daughter and the 20-year-old son will share a bedroom. This arrangement respects the hierarchy by acknowledging the older children's ability to share a space while also addressing the value of female chastity anxiety by ensuring that the older daughter is not sharing a bedroom with a non-family member.

This floorplan satisfies the values of female chastity anxiety and respect for hierarchy by providing separate bedrooms for the parents and the young daughter, while also acknowledging the older children's ability to share a space based on their age and gender.
