　　Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago.Now, however, almost half of all marriages fail. This phenomenon is symptomaticof the growing distance between family members in modern society. In this essay,I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possiblesolutions to it.

　　Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle. Today’sparents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support theirfamilies. Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while theother-typically the mother-acted as the homemaker. Recently, though, doubleincome families have become the norm. Consequently, an increasing number ofchildren now grow up in a parentless environment. Little wonder, then, that theyfeel alienated. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary natureof many modern forms of entertainment.

　　In order to solve this sense of alienation within families, I believe wemust first address its root causes. Perhaps the most effective method of doingthis would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents whochoose to remain at home and take care of their families. Admittedly, suchincentives would probably not fully compensate couples for lost income; however,they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and providean alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to doso because of financial constraints. One further measure would be to promotemore interactive leisure activities in the community through public educationcampaigns.

　　In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexitythat no solution is likely in the short term. However, I believe that themeasures outlined above would constitute a good first step.
