Diversity in Family Life
We have so much diversity in today's family life, before, it was just a man and a wife with kids but nowadays we have gay couples being married and they're having kids too. They either adopt or have someone be a surrogate mother to have their child. We also have single parent families and interracial families. The way the families lives their lives are different too, we are seeing a bigger increase in women working outside the home, not just in being a house wife taking care of the children and house. In some cases, we see the women working and the man working at home or not even working at all. Family life in today's society has changed completely from what it use to be back then. The views of the people have expanded from what we never would have thought before. People rush sometimes to get married and/ or have marital problems that they can't solve. The divorce rate is a lot higher in today's society than it was before. We are seeing more and more new views on marriage and family life, who knows what it'll be like in the future.
I definitely agree with you that family life in today’s society has a dramatic change from the past. For example, some people rather have pets than children, because they think raising a child will spent a lot of money and time. People do not care if they have offspring like the older generation people. Also, people do not treat marriages as serious as they are supposed to be. They get married when they just in a relationship and divorce whenever they do not like each other anymore. Therefore, as you have mentioned, the divorce rate is lot higher than the past. Since there is so much diversity in today’s family life, I believe things are going to keep changing to where we may never think of.
