168 Words1 Page

The first, and perhaps largest, issue regarding the rebellious attitudes of American people during the 1960’s was the dysfunction or absence of the family or family members. Today, this issue still plagues many families and the minds of the children that belong to these deviant families. The Lord outlines the perfect model of a family. “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord … Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her … Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” (Ephesians 5:22,25, 6: 1 English Standard Version). If a man does not love Christ first and love his wife more than himself, the children will suffer. If a woman does not love Christ first or respect her husband, the

  • 60s Ideal Family: A Historical Anomaly

    119 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yes, I do agree with the article because in my opinion the 60s ideal family was a historical anomaly. Even studying U.S. history on its own reveals the vast majority of families had two working parents. While only one might work outside the home, the other still worked to contribute to the family income or at least lessen the family expenses.  I believe the decline in the traditional family is the result, at least in part, by a lack of earnings and increased levels of consumption. Many families need dual-incomes so they can provide for their family.

    Brook’s target audience is the average American family member. As he had stated in the text many Americans have now fallen away from the typical nuclear family social unit. So with that being said the chances that the reader is an outsider to the nuclear family are very high. This reader may also feel very strongly about how they would have been treated in the 1950s due to their marital status. Although society no longer treats unmarried parents this way it may still be upsetting to know that older generations do not support your lifestyle.

    While family structure has changed dramatically since the 1950’s, what current changes are we seeing; and how is it affecting the roles to which we play in a compromising world. In the 1950’s families consisted of a head of household (the Father), the house wife (or mother); and their offspring (the children). The father’s duty was to bring home the bacon, while making end meets for his family, while the wife stayed home and cared for the children, the elderly; and took on the household duties. These families usually lived in the suburbs, where they raised their children; while teaching them the proper ways of life. During this time in history, young women were expected to find a mate through persuasion, then get hitched; and eventually produce an offspring.

    Since the 1950s, the structure of American families has been shifting due to historical events that cause society to rethink the purpose of families. Beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, the peak of the nuclear family model occurred, but soon began to crumble as the 1970s approached and continued to fall apart into the 21st century. Social and economic factors caused single parent families while multigenerational homes increased in popularity. Throughout the decades, the ideal nuclear family portrayed on television in the 1950s gradually morphed into a postmodern family system on television with new gender roles and greater diversity and representation to reflect the society they render.

Newspapers, phone books, radio, library with tons of books and encyclopedias were also part of that era that started the necessity for inventors to create what we have today. Information literacy then and now I think it was the same practice just with the different tools.
