- Summary:
- "The traditional or nuclear family of the 1950s and 1960s is what most of us think of when asked to define "family." But the idea that there is a typical family is perhaps little more than a myth. This lesson considers the diversity of family forms that exist today and cultural shifts that are changing the definition of "family." You will meet the Scott-Chung family and a lesbian couple who discuss their decision to start a family."--Container.

- Notes:
- "In 22 half-hour video lessons, "The way to live" combines expert interviews and commentary with historic and contemporary footage to provide a comprehensive introduction to the growing field of Sociology. Documentary features in each video, called "Slice of life," focus on real people and issues to illuminate key sociological concepts and themes. The result is a compelling and engaging study of the world in wich we live."--Container.
