Abstract
In this essay, the writer explores how Parson's and Bale's ideal family is outdated and has caused tension in the modern traditional family. The writer maintains that the American family has changed over the decades, due in part to a combination of cultural and economic changes in society.
From the Paper
"The traditional nuclear family with 2.5 children, and the one-income male breadwinner, was the norm up until the mid-1960s. This has now evolved to families with two incomes in families with intact marriages, or single-family head of households working one or even two jobs to survive. Furthermore, families are now choosing to have fewer children or no children at all."

Abstract
This paper defines the nuclear family and discusses its role within society. The author also discusses how the breakdown of the nuclear family is blamed for social dysfunction. The stability and structure of society is examined in the light of the declining prevalence of the nuclear family.
From the paper:
"The nuclear family consisting of two adults, 1 male, 1 female, and children is the most common form of family in Australia according to 1996 census figures published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Talcott Parson?s cited in Jureidini & Poole, recognizes the nuclear family as the ?normal? family structure. While statistics show the nuclear family still being the most common family form in Australia they also show a decline in it?s predominance of approximately 10% over the last 20 years. It is for this reason that the functions and benefits of the nuclear family must be recognized before dysfunction alters the stability and structure of society."
