Families have changed greatly over the past 60 years, and they continue to become more diverse.

Why is the family considered the most important agent of socialization?

What caused the dramatic changes to the American family? What are those changes?

Describe the differences in marriage and family life that are linked to class, race, gender, and personal choice.

Do you feel the trend toward diverse families is positive or negative?

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, how would that affect women's rights?

Family is practically the primary agent of socialisation. Since its the first interaction of a child, the way the child is grown up is through the family. For example, getting grounded for doing something bad or being rewarded for something you did good. It is the building blocks of your knowledge to know right from wrong and things to do and things not to do. Family is a major influence of the child's interactions and understandings of life and society, which is why it is a primary agent of socialisation. (Can't be bothered to answer the rest. Sorry hahaha, too many questions that's why. No hard feelings)
