Before reading this, I never questioned how a family should or shouldn't work. There are many different myths about families, for instance saying that all families are is some way all similar and that they are put into categories of either happy or or unhappy. I find these myths interesting because in some parts they are true but every family is so different that it is hard to put them into a category like these. I think that there are so many of these myths about the "typical" or "traditional" family because they normally put up this happy front to make it seem like they have the best/happiest family. However, recently there have been studies of family violence that proves for these myths to be false. Looking at historical trends of how families used to be helps us understand how it is changing, because the ways families are today are completely different. To begin the normal family was a mother, who cooked and cleaned, a father, who worked, and the children. Now of days we have women working, men staying home with the kids, same sex couples, etc. For how I personally define the role of family is who you are close to and will do almost anything for whether you are blood related or not. They are the people that will be there for you whenever you seek guidance, love, support, help, etc. For me, I don't speak to much of my dad's side of the family and although I love them, it's hard for me to go to them for some of these things. However, one of my best friends from preschool and I are still close and her parents are like my second parents, so I spend almost every holiday with them and look up to them. I know there are some people that would say that family is strictly your blood and I think that shows how every family is different.

There are so many myths about the "typical" family because the families have changed over the past several decades. There was the "traditional" family which consisted of a father, mother and their children; and they lived together in household with their own before. But nowadays, it has changed to "typical" family which there is no family form that accounts for the majority of households today. There is a lot of new difficulties like divorcing, marrying with same genders and unmarrying couples today. Therefore, the structure of family has changed now by these issues.

    The historical trends about families help us understand changing families today. For example, many women work outside than staying home. Some of husbands take care of their children instead of working outside. The rising divorce rate is causing the breakup of the nuclear family. It is getting to increase in single parents families. Also, although gay marriage is illegal in many countries around the world, many people think the ban is unfair for gays. Therefore, the acceptance of gay marriage is getting to increase today. These historical trends about families has changed dramatically than before.

    I define families are the most important institution in our society because family is related by blood. Family is a group of people that care about each other with love,loyal and devotion. Currently, the United States has the high divorce rate in the world. Parents have to have their responsibilities for the upbringing of children. The family and good parenting play just as vital a role in their children's life.

Today I think there are so many myths about the âtraditional familyâ family because of how much the idea of a family has changed so much over the years. I grew up still watching tv and movies with families like the  Brady Bunch or  Golden Years  as the ideal for a happy family. There there was a married husband and wife with kids and they all got along and they all looked alike. The mother didn't work and usually stayed at home while the father worked all day to come home to a home cooked meal. However these ideals of a typical family are of the past and do not apply so much today anymore. Due to the rising rates of single parents, same sex parents, and even couples in cohabitation who never want kids being diverse is moren normal than these tv families from the 60s! Every single one of my friends had divorced parents by the time we were out of high school and when i hear of a family whose parents are still married is more surprising than not. I think looking at the past is always a great way to understand what's going on in the present. By looking at how things have changed and progressed since a few decades ago it's also a good indicator of how things will pan out in the future, we see that diversity has only increased since the 60s. There has been a shift in power form the typical household since more women are going to work and are the main breadwinners for the family. Many families today have single parents or due to the high divorce rates have multiple siblings with different parents. These factors are all becoming increasingly common today. I define family as a group of people who have cared for and grown up with each other and who are always there for one another. Blood relation and marriage don't play too much of a role for me in defining family. Due to the fact that I was not brought up by my biological father. The man who raised me will always be considered my father cause that is the role he has always played even though we are not blood related. Considering how close i am and how long i've known some friends i consider them family as well.
