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?

It has been discovered that nowadays, the structure of families is different including roles played by family members.

This

is evident in the increase in gay families worldwide and the prevalence of single and divorced parents in many households. I believe the effects of

this

new trend could be problematic, impacting negatively on the lives of the children involved,

Firstly

, there is a rise in the number of gay marriages who have adopted children with men as their mothers and women as fathers. With the legalisation of gay marriages, there has been an increase in lesbian and gay families. In

instances, children adopted into

homes either have two men as parents or two women.

This

development has more negative effects in the lives of

children. Statistics have shown that about ten percent of children in

Studies have shown that over twenty five percent of vagabond high schoolers have either a single or divorced parents. Being a single parent means only one person acts as both mother and father to the child, works to sustain the home and still has to be available to care for the child.

This

is a huge responsibility and in many instances one role suffers for the other, meaning that either the child lacks the financial support needed or lacks care from the parent.

Furthermore
