A lot of new trends and reformation in the society has occurred owing to the wake of modernisation and restructuring of our society in the
last
decade. One among those
changes
is the modification of the family framework and the members’ responsibilities that have incurred a significant change that has its own merits and demerits. In the subsequent paragraphs,
such
changes
and their impacts shall be discussed.
The family skeletal base in recent
times
has gone through some vigorous
changes
. The prime change that it has brought about is the way the gender norms and roles have been reshuffled and juggled substantially.
For instance
,
women
are no more seen in the confinements of the kitchen or managing the
household
solely as often as it was prior,
therefore
, the dependency and alignment of the income-fuel of
household
is no more a sole role of the men of the family.
Moreover
, paradoxically so, the cases of homemaker men and employed
women
are not unheard of in today’s
times
.
In addition
to that, the trend and fad of partners not necessarily tied in nuptial knots and yet bearing a family, too, have garnered a lot of attention in modern
times
.
Similarly
, single parenting has been rife in recent
times
as a denouement to the independent youth that doesn’t seek the conformity and assertion of society.
However
, if we ponder upon the effectual nuances of
such
changes
, there are both negative as well as positive consequences of it. The
first
calamitous impact that the ways of family execution have brought about, is the vitriol and rancour that the children are brought up with due to the family issues and belligerence of the partners, which were somehow lesser in the conservative setup of earlier
times
. Institutions of marriages, which were
otherwise
seen having a strong belief in a couple of years ago, have started stuttering and
hence
parting ways are
also
commonly witnessed. The accelerating heights of divorces and annulment of the marriages are yet again a deterrent to the sensitive and innocent minds and persona of the children brought up in a scathing
household
.
However
, there are certain benefits too in the terms of the plight of
women
in the earlier societal gradation.
Women
are much more liberated and emancipated today in the terms of taking their own decision as to how they prefer driving through their lives and
hence
have given the importance of gender equality. On the individual basis as well, the inclination and dependence over the societal judgements and flawed set of rulebooks, have started receding and shrinking, thereby, imparting the freedom to people to live on their terms.
Conclusively,
thus
it could be said that the revamping of family and
household
structures has caused an upheaval in the ways of living of the people today and has its own merits and downsides.
