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

Nowadays the concept of family has extremely changed compared to the past as well as the roles in a family. The prototype of the common family, we were used to think about does not exist anymore and there are different kinds of family since modern times needed an evolution of society.

homosexual couples are considered a family as well as blended families,

to be considered the practice of adoption as a significant change in a family, which contributed to expand the ancient meaning of family. To sum up, it is clear that, in recent years, the family structure and roles have changed and adapted to modern times, which contributed to open people’s mind to different views of family life.
