  • Importance Of A Father Figure
    2,355 words
    It is a common belief that the decline of fatherhood is one of the most basic, unexpected, and extraordinary social trends of our time (Tischler, 2001, p. 19). However, the opposing view of this standpoint is that there is no decline in fatherhood. There are very few people saying that they doubt the fundamental importance of mothers, yet there are those that believe that the importance of a father figure is diminishing (Tischler, 2001). There are even those who see the father position in a fami...

I feel that although mothers are good...

Some fathering advocates say that almost every social ill faced by America's children is related to fatherlessness (Kimir B 1). There are very few people saying that they doubt the fundamental importance of mothers, yet there are those that believe that the importance of a father figure is ...
  • Life Also Fathers
    1,632 words
    "Fathers should be seen nor heard. That's the only proper basis for family life". (Popenoe 1) That was the view on how things should be years ago. Fathering a child is not just the woman's job anymore. Now what society expects of fathers has changed enormously. Fathers are now expected to be more involved in their children's lives and more involved with housework. The role of the father is bigger than past generations of fathers would have thought possible. Many people once thought that fathers ...
