BUMPED2002 03/30/24 11:20:52 AM #1:	Has the idea of the American family faded away? - Results (38 votes) Yes 68.42% (26 votes) 26 No 31.58% (12 votes) 12 For most of the 20th century, the word "family" in America evoked a predictable picture of cookie-cutter cleanliness: the happily married husband and wife, their 2.5 kids, and one improbably well-behaved golden retriever, all under the same roof. But the nuclear family has steadily eroded over the last 50 years. I think the first major death knell came with the 1973 oil crisis and the two-year recession that followed, which signaled the end of the West's postwar prosperity boom. Since then, the nuclear family has crumbled piece by piece. In 1970, more than two-thirds of American adults between 25 and 49 lived with a spouse and at least one kid. By 2021, only 37% of adults fit the bill. More and more kids are returning to live at their parents home as well as times continue to get tough for some. --- SpankageBros <cite>BUMPED2002 posted [p:979641718] in American f...

Muscles 03/30/24 3:19:30 PM #5:	I don't think the idea faded, it's just harder to obtain.

Lokarin 03/30/24 4:41:10 PM #7:	actually, the image of the American family only lasted between 1940 and 1970, people only think it was a century long thing but people were still living in familial colonies and homesteads right up until the second world war --- "Salt cures Everything!"

It is, of course, terribly silly to think of reliance on massive government subsidies to prop up unsustainable infrastructure as being symbolic of personal wealth and prosperity, but that's precisely what many people worldwide bought into, with devastating results. Some cities and countries saw where suburban sprawl was taking them and managed to turn things around, others have been more stubborn about it. --- This is my signature.
