This is evident in all walks of life but more recently is apparent right in our very homes. The so-called “traditional family” of the past consists of a husband, a wife, 1-2 children, and in most cases a pet. They had good family values with very low occurrences of infidelity amongst spouses. The children would show a great amount of respect toward their parents and would help with all of the chores around the house. Today there is no clear definition of what a family is. With changing laws and changing views on life by society, a “family” today could be considered just about any combination of things.
