The Drastic Change in Society and Family Diversity In the 1960s families were much more traditional than today, and most families were nuclear, meaning that a married couple had children. Although times have changed a lot since the 1960s, what is considered socially acceptable has changed a lot since those times, social mores have changed a lot, as have different types of families, as they are becoming more diverse, and situations previously unacceptable in society, they are now an ordinary way of life. Marital roles have also changed over the last 45 years or more, because in the 1960s there were always traditional marital roles, where the man went to work and earned money, while the woman had to stay at home and take care of the children. children. and being domesticated, this was such an important part of society that lessons were even taken on how to perfect domestic skills. This was made even more evident because the media, in television commercials, always portrayed stereotypical marital roles and conveyed them as the ideal way of life. The 1960s were the scene of the sexual revolution; this movement happened in the early 1960s, the purpose of this revolution was to empower women. This empowerment was about making women more independent and gave them the power and right to seek a career for themselves, instead of just domestic work. Another aspect of this period was the availability of female contraceptives, which eventually gave women the choice to have children or not. After the introduction of the pill, women had more freedom to go out and build a career. However, in the middle of the card, same-sex couples are not good for society and women should stay at home in the traditional 1960s sense. They also view divorce and separations as a problem for society as they argue that they cost society money because single-parent families gain benefits from the welfare state. In conclusion, this essay has brought to light several points of view on the state of families today; I have found that there are many conflicting views on diversity. Feminists see family diversity as a positive prospect, which is a positive situation for women, as they are free to do what they want and free from the “restriction” of men and the family unit. However, New Right views state that the nuclear family is society's best-case scenario and that family diversity is wrong as it breaks all traditional values..
