Family Trends

This week has been great! We have focused on societal trends and the family. Some of the things we have learned have been really surprising to me. We watched a video called The New Economic Reality: Demographic Winter from BYU TV. It was interesting to learn that while the population may be increasing, it is not because women are having more children. The actual reason is because people are living longer. Medical advances have played a role in this. Parents having less children is just one of the many trends. A few of the others include; an increase in delayed marriage, employed moms, and cohabitation. I am excited to gain a greater understanding about the family dynamics and theories.
