There are many arguments as to who is responsible for the corruption of the American family. The blame has jumped from history, to lifestyle, and then to sexual preference. For instance, homosexuality is frowned upon because people think it destroys the sanctity of marriage. Single mothers were at one point chastised for bringing fatherless children into the world. As time progresses, men are seen less and less as the "head" of the household. People have taken comfort in knowing that they can survive without having to play "their roles" in life. The American family no longer consists of a mom, dad, brother, sister, and dog. A person's family can be whatever that person chooses it to be and America loves that. If this were not preferred to the traditional idea of family, then it would be changed. Almost every family has tainted or twisted this tradition in some way or another, therefore, everyone and everything is responsible for the fall of The American Family. America has changed, and because of that, we can only change with it.
