that society romanticizes past generations of family life and points out that these memories are merely myths that prevent us from “dealing more effectively with the problems facing today’s families” (Coontz x). Coontz proposes that researchers can take empirical data and create misleading causality for that data, thus feeding cultural myth and/or experience. Coontz believes that “an overemphasis on personal responsibility for strengthening family values encourages a way of thinking that leads to moralizing

However, I do not think that Silas Marner's endorsement of family values is nearly as straightforward as Nunokawa makes it out to be. In fact, Eliot's stance on the family unit is three-pronged. Nunokawa's reduction of Silas Marner to a "dichotomy" ignores the middle ground that Eliot ultimately recommends as the key to a life with a happy ending.   In order to demonstrate this, I must first show that none of the families in Silas Marner (with the exception of Silas' own) are totally

essay “Immigrants and Family Values”, the author Francis Fukuyama argued that immigrants, are not a threat for American family values, but rather American culture can become a threat for “newcomers”.

By second grade I was already reading chapter books and from there my infatuation only grew. From the Harry Potter series to the Percy Jackson

normal?” Growing up, I would consider my family to be a “normal family.” I have a mother and father who have been married for 38 years, and a younger brother who is three years and four months younger than I am. We were the typical four-person family with one daughter and one son. My mother considered us the “perfect family” because she had the best of both worlds. To me, this is what a normal family should look like. One of the most important family value my mother and father taught was to be

The family is far different from that of the past. It is rare to find a traditional family with a stay at home mom.

In the article” Absent Fathers: Why Don’t We Ever Talk about the Unmarried Man?” Rebecca Blank states, “For every single mother, there is a father who is not living with his children.
