Monolithic_Bias

Monolithic Bias What are traditional families' Are they vital to our way of life or a barrier to progress' Generally ‘family’ (normal and natural) means a married couple who, at some point in their lives, raise children. However, according to monolithic bias the term is more than description; it is also a moral statement. Thus monolithic bias is a situation when there is one basic, uniform type of household - the nuclear family consisting of a husband and a wife with one or more children. That is, the traditional family implies putting a high value on becoming and remaining married, placing children ahead of careers, and favoring two-parent families over various alternative lifestyles. These alternative lifestyles may be gay or lesbian families, single hood, single parent families, blended or extended families, or common law families. However it is important to keep in mind that monolithic bias ignores the numerous conditions, difficulties and hurdles that families who are not part of the normal and natural family face in everyday life. For example there has been a drastic increase in cohabitation over the last thirty years. Most cohabiting couples do not marry, and only small percentages have children.
