Work Families and Children Essay

onsider the following assertion:In the traditional American nuclear family of today once the couple has one or more children the wife should not be employed outside the home. Rather she should devote the majority of her time to child-rearing activities and being there for the children. This is the best environment for the development of healthy children in all senses of the word physically mentally spiritually and socially.
Alternatively one could assert something such as this:In the contemporary American family it often takes more than one income to provide for the family’s needs. Thus both parents may need or wish to work outside the home. There is little or no evidence to suggest that children who are cared for by qualified attentive and nurturing adults in a setting outside the home (e.g. a licensed daycare facility a friend or a neighbor’s family home an after-school program) grow up to be somehow disadvantaged or damaged emotionally mentally physically or spiritually.
Choose one of these two perspectives and write an essay of 750-1000 words that summarizes the research evidenceagainstthat perspective. (Thus if you choose the first assertion above you will look for evidence that this assertion is not accurate.) You may use theMarriage & Family: the Search for Intimacytext (Chapter 11) and the sources cited in the text but you also need to use at least three scholarly sources to support your argument.
