"Can I spend the night with you tonight?" the boy asks the other boy? The answer: “No, my dad has me this weekend, maybe next week.” We live in a world where more than half of marriages end in divorce. This is truly a confusing problem we face today. The moral and ethical implications determined by such a change in family organization will only begin to manifest themselves in the years to come. Some of these issues are addressed in both Laurie Abraham's "Divorced Father" and Barbara Whitehead's "Women and the Future of Fatherhood." Where did all this begin? Well, obviously all the demoralizing things that can be seen on television have not helped to build strong values in our society. We can no longer expect to watch a football match without seeing a woman's breasts. Our society is truly crumbling before our eyes. Younger generations now view sex in a more liberal way than ever before. They feel they can have sex and not face the consequences later. These adolescents are therefore faced with the harsh reality of having to raise a child without having experience in doing so. The teen parent can't rely on their partner because he or she doesn't know anything either, and the partner feels trapped in a marriage they didn't want, but can't leave. The couple in turn turns to their parents for advice. Having a child is difficult enough when he or she is brought into a loving and prepared family for him or her, but when he or she is a burden on the mother and father, then problems are sure to arise. The young couple has a chance to survive these difficult times, but the reality is that they will most likely not be able to face it. They will either throw each other or they will get bored of the lust that has faded with time. Divorce is society's Band-Aid for them, a solution that leaves children with a missing link. The product of this marriage is a child raised by parents who knew nothing about raising a child, and who now know nothing about raising a child properly and lovingly. family because he or she did not grow up in a family. One can only imagine this situation occurring.
