The changing family
I have just read an article called "THE WAY WE REALLY ARE: Coming to Terms with America's Changing Families," by author, Stephanie Coontz. Coontz takes the reader from misconceptions of the Golden Age and it's families to the revival of women as the family co provider. I really enjoyed reading the article and agree on many points, like; there really was no Golden Age, and Census Bureau refinements. I disagree on a couple points however, the media being vulnerable and manipulated, and the working mother. I agree with Coontz when she says there really wasn't a golden age. I think the way we talk, dress and what we drive now is different, but according to my grandpa, who was born in 1915, said, "There were still murders, rapes, kids taking drugs, smoking, violence in schools etc..." My grandpa went on to say that the media wasn't as prevalent back then. "Violence wasn't seen or heard on the news. You could hardly say darn in public." He told me it wasn't like leave it to beaver at all. I believe that thanks to shows like "Leave it to Beaver" and "Mayberry," what we see in the news, violence, death, and drugs, makes the 1950's look tame. The violence and crime is just served to u
Coontz states that unwed motherhood has increased dramatically since 1970. The Bible is not saying women are weak physically, it is only saying that women are more emotional than men. I am looking at it from a Childs point of view. I believe that if people opened there eyes, they would see that after Adam and Eve committed that first sin and left the Garden of Eden, every man and woman born thereafter was born with a sinful nature. The child will most likely grow up unhappy and angry because Mom and Dad were never around to spend time with, and establish a bond with. Women use emotion (at least from my past experience) in their thought process a lot more then men. Not because I think women are inferior to men. I am not agreeing that the woman should stay home because they cannot do the same job as a man. Even if the reporters have to ruin someone's life by letting something personal out on T. This is a good thing because kids need that nurturing so much when they are younger. Huh? I have always seen it the other way around.
