In recent years,the family structure has changed, as well as family roles. What are the changes occuring? Do you think these changes are positive or negative?

  The family system remains a vital part of the human social structure. In

this

present generation, the makeup of families, as well as the roles

are changing

. The major reasons why these

changes are occuring are

Suggestion

changes are occurring

changes are occurring are

  because people now take up roles depending on who is better equipped rather than basing the decision on whether one is male or female and

also

because people are no longer staying heterosexual, as other

gender

fluid terms have come into play. In my opinion, it is a positive development, as it makes everyone responsible and capable of taking care of themselves.     

Firstly

, the causes of the change in family roles stem from the issue of

gender

equality. More women see themselves performing functions that are outside of the conventional motherly duties.

in addition

Furthermore

, people decide who gets to do what based on who has the appropriate resources to carry out

such

task.

For example

, from personal experience, my mother earned a lot more than my father,

hence

he stayed at home to take care of us. They felt

this

was the best decision and had no regrets, as we turned out very responsible.   

Secondly

, as more people deviate from the heterosexual relationship, where a man marries a woman to other forms of family structures like having two mothers or the two fathers, the entire system changes. In

this

generation, the conventional

gender

based roles have been altered.

For example

, a study carried out in

. 2018, revealed that most of the families in the area are more flexible, in the sense that at least 40% of families are made up of same sex parents.   

Nevertheless

, the overall effect of

this

is in the positive. The switch in the family roles and systems resonates the belief that humans are more than one thing

when it comes to performing tasks. It enables people to be responsible for themselves, no matter their

.

In addition

, it

also

debunks the traditional notion that women are meant to be in the kitchen and should cater to their men and children. It reinforces the ideology that a woman can follow her dreams and be the greatest version of herself.    In conclusion, recently there have been a lot of changes to the family structure and roles. These changes are

because of the increasing clamour for

the acceptance of other forms of relationships, other than the heterosexual ones. In my opinion, these changes are positive as
