Introduction
America’s family lifestyle and business and national security have both become more complex in the last 30 years.
Family life has changed
While family life has changed, the business and national security landscape has become more complex. Family life has changed in many ways. It’s not just about marriage anymore–many people are living alone, having children out of wedlock and later in life, or having multiple partners with whom they have children.
Business and national security have become more complex.
Business and national security have become more complex.
The business of America is no longer just business, it’s also national security. And the two are becoming increasingly intertwined, interdependent and interconnected.
America’s family life and business and national security have both become more complex in the last 30 years.
Family life has become more complex, and business and national security have become more complex. That’s the conclusion we can draw from a look at the last three decades of American history.
In the 1980s, almost 40{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc} of children lived in single-parent households; today that number has risen to over 50{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc}. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has dropped from its peak in 1981 (when it hit 50{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc}) but remains around 35{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc}.
Businesses have grown more complicated as well: The number of companies with over $5 million in annual revenue increased by 60{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc} between 1982 and 2015; during this same period there was also an increase in globalization (more foreign trade) and technological advances such as computers and smartphones that allow us access information faster than ever before
Conclusion
The family life in America has changed a lot in the last 30 years. It’s not just because of the divorce rate, but also because people are more likely to live alone or with roommates than they used to be. Business and national security have become more complex as well–there are more businesses than ever before, but they’re smaller and harder for us as individuals (or even governments) to understand completely
