If those morals weren't in place more people would openly do research and more people could've put more money into both and advance our technology. You made the point that morals causes society to go backwards. I'm just not seeing it. Thats all my point is. Quote: Loving and traditional can be synonymous. However, just because a family is traditional doesn't mean that it's loving. You're blaming the woes of the African American community on the destruction of family; however, I have provided a study which shows no side-effects to single parenting. You're not factoring in socio-economic factors when you say that the problem in the African American community is caused by a lack of traditional family. I think it would be safe to say that families with 2 able-adults providing and taking care of their family would be able to create a better growing environment than just one. To me, its just simple logic. Quote: Could be, but that's generalizing about all single-parent families. Also, the fact the traditional family only has one income doesn't really support your argument about the economic woes of single-parenthood. Functional would be the only problem, but that's why I think it's a nuturing environment rather than a traditional family. Somewhat true, but because there are two adults, its allows both of those two adults to work. In times of economic hardships, both parents can work. When both are working, they have the same problem single parent families have, in terms nuturing, but they would lack the economic problems a single parent family would have. And its not really generalizing. Its a fact that the parent single parent families basically have to do the duties of a two parent traditional family, trying to get the same result. Its only natural that problems in actually doing all those functions would arise. Quote: The article doesn't say that. Quote: Professor David Fergusson, who leads the long-running study of over 1000 people, says conventional wisdom and some international research links mental health problems, educational performance, economic and criminal behaviour outcomes to the fact that a child is brought up by one parent. There, the articles says its going against conventional wisdom. Plus, it IS just one study. And it DOES say conventional wisdom says otherwise. Quote: Also, great, your friends had a nuturing environment in a traditional family structure, but that means nothing when the evidence clearly shows all that matters is the environment, not the style of family. Thugs can come from a traditional family; you're trying to set it into the ground that the traditional family is perfect and provides the environment when that isn't always the case. Like I said, there are exceptions to everything. Traditional families are NOT perfect. There is no perfect family structure. Single Parent families don't always screw up. But I think its safe to say traditional families have a better chance of raising good kids than single parent families.
