My group is off to a great start with this assignment. We've all had great input with wonderful ideas. Our main focus is on family and the struggles on everyday living. We thought it would be interesting to compare the struggles of an early 1900's atypical family, with a more modernized family and how different life was back then in comparison too now. While preparing forthis assignment, it has become obvious to me how life in general has changed with time. Adolesence having to deal with peer pressure is one of the leading causes of depression in teenagers. Families living in poverty which has cotributed to the crime rate increase.
