Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question below. The Family The family in the Western world has changed during the last two centuries. Social scientists say that this change in the family is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society. Before the 19"' century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Young people did not decide who they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children. By the 19`" century, most young people could choose the person they wanted to marry. A marriage joined two people and not two families. Two people could get married because they loved each other, not just because their families wanted them to marry. At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children. They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education. Before this, most people did not go to school. Later, people realized that education was necessary for a good life. Many parents decided that they should have fewer children so that they could give each one a good life. More fathers worked outside the home for money. Mothers stayed at home and had greater control of the children and the home than the fathers had. Family life is changing even faster in 'he United States today.
