Change of American Family

“Change of American Family”

I read an article about the change of American Family. The article describes the complexity that makes it hard to understand what is going in American family at a glance. The writer delineated the effects of divorce, LGBT, decreasing marriage and birth rates, work environment, and crime on family. I cannot help focusing on Asian-American family. Frankly speaking, I was relieved, hearing that Asian-American family was wealthy, was experiencing a low rate of divorce, and was raising well-educated children. But I also concerned that Asian women involuntarily victimize themselves for her family even now. Although the respect given to unselfish mother can be found in American culture, this is found more easily in Asian cultures. We cannot say whether it is right or not to appreciate the devoted woman. We have to know the risk of harsh devotedness and remember to be thankful to those women.
