Question

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, three fourths of children of divorced parents live with their mother. What impact might this have on the U.S. male population over time?

Answer 1

According to some sources, male children who are raised only by their female parents out of wedlock are most likely to receive less attention (the mother has got to work to support herself and her family and their energy spreads thin to deal with the household, rearing, etc.) and fail in many areas of their lives such as school (their chances of graduating are low) and personal life (are more likely to become a single parent themselves).

However, the same does not seem to apply to children of divorced or dead fathers. This may go to prove that the presence of both parents, even for a short time in children's lives, may have a more positive effect on their educational and personal outcome.

Answer 2

Answer:

These are the options

a. Men may begin to rely on women more in society, which could lead to a cultural role reversal.

b. Men may be burdened with too much at a young age, leading to psychological development issues.

c. Men should not develop any differently, and the traditional social and cultural gender roles will continue.

d. Men may be more aggressive which may lead to an increase in crime, domestic violence, etc.

The answer is D. Men may be more aggressive which may lead to an increase in crime, domestic violence, etc.

Explanation:

Men who are brought up by Moms aren’t usually brought up well. This is because it’s important for the men to have a father figure to nurture and mould them into the required gentlemen. The father understands the men better and shares some life experiences for learning purposes.

The mother won’t understand the men as their father would and they may not have that extra toughness to put the men in the right path. This is why Men may be more aggressive which may lead to an increase in crime, domestic violence, etc.
