Description / Abstract
Senior Thesis, MidAmerica Nazarene University. From the document: "...the tendency to gloss over the important characteristics of family life in the 1950s has the effect of discounting the fact that there were several qualities that make this a remarkable time for American families. Contrary to the impression conveyed by writers such as Coontz, it is a mistake to simply pass by important factors like the low divorce rate. This sort of data on key qualities of the American family of the 1950s provides valuable insight and, on a more foundational level, is the starting point in the process of beginning to see the strengths of family life during this era. Within this context, it makes the most sense to begin the discussion of the 1950s American family by exploring its unique qualities that distinguish it from any other era of family. As it turns out, there are multiple factors that lend support to the idea of the 1950s being a sort of golden age for the American family, as some claim."
