Fill in the blank(s) with correct word.


1. People who feel that families are being threatened worry that Americans are rejecting traditional marriage and family life, that family members are not adhering to roles within families, and that many social and moral problems result from the changes in families.
2. Others remind us that the golden years of the past never really existed. They argue that families have always faced challenges, including desertion, poverty, children born out of wedlock, alcoholism, unemployment, violence, and child abuse. Yet, despite these recurring problems, attempts to strengthen families through improved social services and financial assistance have been met with resistance.
