Rise and Fall of the Nuclear Family

A perfect family was always an American dream. In the 1950s, many families wanted to be a perfect family. My working father is at home with my mother and two fine children. Since this image is being enlarged by the media, if you do not do anything, it may be regarded as abandoned. "This satisfying rigid picture accepted by the general public is challenged by real life wives, many of whom work outside the house" (Introduction of the 1950's). Then many people began to oppose this perfect family idea.

The emergence of new technology, the increase and decrease of the housing market, and cultural change regardless of size, made the understanding of American dreams flatter. Things that have been represented by white pickets fences in suburbs and core families can no longer be applied. Perhaps for some people, but for many people, especially those in the millennium, the idea of ​​American dreams has changed. Whether due to rising city rents, student debt crisis, or just a change in the times, the ideas that Adams created in the 1930s have changed.

Changes in economic structure, consumption of social values, and the rise of nuclear families have redefined social roles. The young generation is busy lacking time and interest to pursue their dreams and take care of their parents. Because there is not enough sanatorium, the connection between generations is weakened further. The elderly suffer from strict treatment from their children or reduce themselves to a slight outer shell to spend their last few days in the poor living environment of nursing care facilities.

In the widow 's core family, the old divorced fare was ignored. I do not mind that anyone at home can take care of them. Physically and psychologically, they feel dangerous. Most importantly, nuclear family children are social, emotional, and educational dysfunctional. In the event of a forced conflict, the possibility of a family collapse is high. However, its advantages clearly outweigh the drawbacks, so everyone wants to find a nuclear family in modern society.
