The assignment Chapter 1 (Marriage, Family and the Home)

i read about alternative to marriage


http://www.unmarried.org/statistics.html


"living together" "living alone"


The site talks about the current statistics in living together, living alone and other popular lifestyle. This statistics talked about living together whether with same-sex or different-sex by given the percentage starting with females from 15 to 44 years old.In addition, the end of this paragraph has been said "the number of unmarried couples living together has increased tenfold between 1960 and 2000".
The second common lifestyle is living alone. The number of people who live alone more than the number of households that consist of husband, wife and children.In the end,as i noticed at first, there are many different common lifestyle in U.S but I chose what i have background about.



My Opinion:
I disagree with some kinds of alternative lifestyle.Let's talk about living alone.If anyone won't die alone he should has partner sharing and living with him.Also, the society always needs new generation to work and develop it and by staying alone that's wouldn't happen!!!
I agree with communal living because people can share the same ideals and make improvement.Also, feels the other that they are family by cooking and doing the housework.As a result, communal living helps to find who has the similar skills to share and be together.
