In an essay of no fewer than 4 (no more than 5) pages, double-spaced and 1-inch margins all around and
11- or 12-point font [Times New Roman, Arial, or similar], discuss how and why other alternatives to the nuclear
family have become popular in recent years; in your discussion you should concede that Carbone and Cahn’s
belief that “it’s [simply] the economy, stupid” (81) may be one reason BUT it is not the only reason(s) for the
rise in popularity of other family structures today
