Gender Roles

Today in class we had to read from Chapter 3 on Gender Roles. We discussed the different family types. We talked about if we had come from a traditional household or a more shared role. I think typically families are still on a traditional type of family roles because of what we have been taught in the past and what we still believe to be important roles to certain genders. Although there seems especially in the last few years that has been changing. There is more of a call of equality. There are more working mothers and more stay at home fathers. I just find it interesting that maybe our roles that we have known for centuries is suddenly going to take a major shift in the families.
