Family Diversity

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the concept of the typical American family and discovers that no such concept exists. It looks at the diversity of American society and within this diversity, the different types of family structures which exist. The writer states that just as the American people are diverse, American family should be diverse too.

From the Paper:

"The typical American family may be an ideal, but it will never be a practical option. Even if the American family could be achieved on a broad level, it would only produce many problems for society. The better solution is to recognize that the American family is as diverse as the American people. Rather than trying to reduce this diversity in the family, it should be embraced, with every family free to create a structure that works for them."
