1. The family in the Western World has changed greatly during the last two centuries. Social scientists say this is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society.
2. Before the nineteenth century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. After getting married, they usually had a lot of children. This family was an important part of the large family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and other relatives. By the nineteenth century most young people could choose whom they wanted to marry, and could marry out of love. At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children. They were responsible for their health and education.
3. The parents decided they should have fewer children so they could give each one a good life. They thought it was important for the mother to spend as much time as possible with her children. Before 1800, the family had all worked together at home. However, after 1800, fathers were the bread winners. Mothers stayed home and had greater control of the home and children. The relatives were still important, but they were separated.
4. Today family life is evolving even faster in the United States. There is almost one divorce for every two marriages. Over 10% of families are single parent families. At least half of all children live part of the time with only one parent. Fifty percent of all mothers work outside the home.
