What is the difference between family in the 50s or 60s of the 20th century and family now?

When I was a child in the 50's I think we relied on our parents more for entertainment etc as we didn't have all the after school activities etc that there are today.Parents were definately the head of the household whereas today life seems to revolve around the children.There also seems to be more freedom to access the world via affordable travel so that families today are very well travelled.The one thing that has not changed is the way we all love our own families even though lots of things are different today than they were then.

Regretfully the traditions 30 years ago do not apply to now.  They have changed for many reasons...finance, technology, peer pressure and culture.  I didnt have a great deal of help from my parents seeing that they divorced when i was 12.  I had to learn my own morals early and get to know them\n\nI respect elders, im polite, i do the best i can....regretfully tho media and peer pressure are the worst.  People have now become revolved around themselves instead of their friends and family.  A survey was done on a current affair show here in Australia....a women scraped her knee after falling down.  ABSOLUTELY noone went to her to help.  Im ashamed....But the pressure of ones life has become so great that people have to see it themselves before they get sucked up by beuocracy

Cousin in law I guess. 'once removed' means one generation difference and 'cousin in law' sounds right in your situation.

So many things happened in the 20th century!\n\nTechnology boomed: If you don't have a cell phone, TV, or computer, you're seen as primitive.\n\nCivil Rights were established:  Women are much more independent now and have more freedoms.  Same with minority groups.\n\nGo with history.  Whatever historical event was important, there are social changes to follow.

there was less divorce back then. now there are more parents being taken care of by their children, more stepfamilies now, more single mothers and mothers working.

The 20th Century for women was about liberation and gaining equality.  During the 20th Century women got the vote and broke into male dominated careers.  Now we are succeeding in ou careers and balancing everything in our lives.  Thankfully many men out there are willing to their share around the house (my fiance does more than his fair share and to a better standard than me when it comes to housework and cooking!) in order to support their partners.\n\nIn short without all the struggles of women in the 20th Century I wouldn't be a full time Engineer who also  volunteers with Air Cadets in her spare time with the ability to vote and get involved in politics.  I would hate to go back to a time where I couldn't do these things.

Point #1 some generations like the current 20 somethings, have a wealth of technology to make things easier,it has not been reckoned yet what the latest will find .....Point #2 it is better that too much is given than to live by the rules and only the rules and in the process not do for some what you are able.3rd question....only if they let the past make the rules for them today, they have to want to change their own mindset first.

Key word is grandma.  They grew up in a different generation, with different views of the world and different views and attitudes impressed upon them by society when they were younger and more impressionable.

Baby boomers were 60's and very early 70's. Generation X are the children of baby boomers therefore they could be mid to late seventies til early eighties. I am a baby boomer.

I was a kid in the 40's and 50's and it was a strong family society.  Marriage was a commitment for life.  Today, people live together and have sex before marriage, have children out of marriage, depend on the Government to take care of them, and have no strong ties with other family members.  Education is down the tubes.  Kids leave school without being able to read, write and spell; look at the "Answer" question and answers sometimes.  If we don't stop the illegal immigration we will have a group of illiterate adults who have no skills to do the technological jobs.  If we don't stop the growth of the Government, we will have more than half the people working for the other half.  Society has changed from when I was a boy and it is scary.  I think we are headed in the wrong direction socially.
