What defines a family--and how is that definition changing? This volume explores the evolving nature of family life through a range of perspectives on marriage, parenting, gender roles, and more. The viewpoints in these thoughtfully selected articles highlight differing opinions on what families should look like, how they should function, and what challenges they face today. Designed to encourage critical thinking and respectful debate, this book invites young readers to examine their own assumptions and consider multiple sides of complex social issues.
