While reading "From Changing American Families" I found myself interested mostly because I have taken sociology and learned a little more about stratification including class,race and gender. After reading it i found that the different class information was the most interesting second inclduing race.
I was facsinated to find that the upper class families are so consumed with money where the parents mix with other wealthy families to keep having the money running in the family. Middle class requires more effort to keep income including moving around. The working class white families marry for love not money.
I was interested in The working-class African American Families: The Moynihan Report and its Historical Context it really hit hard that it was so crucial that the 50's and 60's brought about the social movement that was so crtical Civil Rights Movement that addresed unequal treatments of African Americans. I found it hard to believe that the Moynihan report suggested many things but one of that.."if black men were to take their rightful place as head of the family and community they would need to bolster their skills in behaving properly masculine manner... suggested they join the army."I disagreed with many things from Moynihan.
