Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. Families of today are no more like their 1930s counterparts than 1930s families are a reflection of those from the 1890s. With each new generation comes a sort of metamorphosis with regard to the overall composition of the family unit. The synergistic impact of social, political, cultural and historical elements serves to steer the ever-evolving nature of families so they move forward with the constant progress of society as a whole; indeed, it would look rather peculiar to see a family like the Andersons from Father Knows Best living next door to the ultra contemporary likes of Ozzy Osbourne and kin. The passage of time instills myriad new and different modifications to society as a whole and families as a direct representation of that greater influence. No bibliography.

Introduction to Problems of American Culture, the only barometer upon which the author had to determine the changes of familial composition was from the past; at that point in time,
technology was not such that he would have been able to project into the future and speculate what might occur over the following seventy years to once again change the
fundamental dynamics of the American family. That particular point in time was awash with the aftermath of financial ruin and the pursuit of regained solvency by way of the
Industrial Revolution. The responsibility placed upon the husband and father to support and protect his family during this time was instrumental in the way in which American families learned
to survive, not the least of which was in the form of conserving goods and saving money. This encoding of thriftiness and belt
tightening endured for many decades that followed until the mindset of sacrifice began to wear thin around the 1980s with the "me" generation, a decade that ushered in an entirely
