25、In the past few decades, the world has seen major changes in the face of the family. Since 1975, the divorce rate has doubled resulting in the increase of single-parent households, remarriages and extended families. This is a discussion of the many definitions of family and how they demonstrate the
26、changes that are occurring within the family. Most of the time when a person thinks of the definition of a family, the image of a mother, father and children is what comes into the mind.

27、re more definitions that can be used to define a family such,Background Information,Unit 4 Family,Background Information,as a single-parent family which is one parent and a child or children.

42、family structuresComparison of statistics of the fifth national census and data of the previous two manifests three tendencies of changes in current Chinese family structure. First, relatively stable family types represented by those consisting of lineal family members of three generations. Three-ge
