Family in the United States (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

• The traditional family structure in the United States is considered a family support system involving two married individuals providing care and stability for their biological offspring. However, this two-parent, heterosexual, nuclear family has become less prevalent, and nontraditional family forms have become more common. The family is created at birth and establishes ties across generations. Those generations, the extended family of aunts and uncles, grandparents, and cousins, can hold significant emotional and economic roles for the nuclear family. Over time, the structure has had to adapt to very influential changes, including divorce and more single-parent families, teenage pregnancy and unwed mothers, same-sex marriage, and increased interest in adoption. Social movements such as the feminist movement and the stay-at-home father have contributed to the creation of alternative family forms, generating new versions of the American family. (en)
• 传统的美国家庭结构被认为是一个两位成婚人士为自己的后代提供关怀和稳定的家庭支持系统。但是，这种双亲核心家庭已经变得不那么普遍，其它的家庭形式开始变得越来越常见。后代的出生通常会在几代人之间建立起纽带，意味着家庭的建立。那些几代同堂大家庭中的阿姨、叔叔、祖父母和表兄弟也同样能够起到核心家庭在情感和经济上的作用。 随着时间的流逝，传统家庭结构已经不得不适应一些会有非常大影响的变化，这些变化包括离婚及其引致的单亲家庭，未成年怀孕和相应的未婚母亲，同性婚姻及相应收养需求的增长等。女权运动和家庭主夫之类的社会运动也对另类家庭的创立起到了促进作用，产生了新版本的美国家庭。 (zh)
