question about the passage:
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an
American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American
family was always more varied than we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different
racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples
who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about
20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women
over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of
unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single,
usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are
typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive
relationship in family forms other than the traditional one.
