The Assignment Collect at least five newspaper or magazine articles (NOT academic joumal articles) that span at least three decades between 1900 and today (e.g., two from the 1960s, one from the 1970s, and two from the 1980s) and that all discuss one type of family behavior (e.g., divorce rates, teen pregnancy, premarital sex). Compare and contrast how these articles from these different decades discuss this issue. In addition to the five articles, please make use of at least two sources from the course (this can include readings or lectures). In the paper's introductory paragraph, you should present a thesis statement that summarizes the argument you seek to prove in the paper. Each paragraph in the body of the paper should be focused on evaluating the evidence from the articles in terms of this thesis/central argument. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to help in developing a thesis (you do not need to try to answer all of these questions in your paper): • What norms are assumed and what judgments are made? • How do the assumptions and points of view in the articles compare to the family trends that were actually occurring at that time? • What argument can you make about public perceptions of this family behavior and of changes in this family behavior over time? You should include an introduction paragraph (5 points), a paragraph discussing each decade (15 points per paragraph for a total of 45 points), a paragraph comparing the three decades (15 points), a paragraph contrasting the three decades (15 points), a conclusion (5 points), and at least one in-text citation per decade to support your research/information from a minimum of three articles (5 points per citation for a total of 15 points). Be sure to use your own words except for a few quotes that you may feel necessary. Make sure quotes (in-text citations) are in quotation marks, and cited properly, both in text and on a reference/ works cited page. 0 Any evidence of plagiarism to include self-plagiarism will result in zero for this assignment.

Introduction
Divorce Rates in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s
Divorce refers to terminating a marriage or canceling a marital union or reorganizing its
legal duties plus responsibilities. It is also called dissolution of the marital bonds between
married couples under the law of a particular state or country. Most states also allow the
divorced couples to remarry other persons, that is, the woman can remarry a new husband and
the man can get a new wife. However, some countries did not allow divorce in the early
decades. This paper will discuss the rates of divorce during the 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s.
Thus, the rates of divorce increase during the periods of hardships and major events but declines
during peaceful times.
Body
During the 1960s, divorce rates went up rapidly. For example, in 1963, the peerage rate
of divorce was reported to be three times the divorce rate of Britain (NY Times, 1963, pp.1). In
1964, nearly 400,000 couples got divorced in America alone. Nothing drastic had taken place
regarding divorce before the 1960s but only sharp increase that was briefly caused by the war
which was then followed by a decrease. In 1960, the rate stood at ...
