Task 2: Nuclear Family Living Patterns Script
believe my
A nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.
In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children‘s principle care
giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.
Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company‘s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.
People have long known the saying ―Diamonds are a girl‘s best friend.‖ But this may be changing. There‘s a new stone on the
gem market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.
Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. The new colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New York‘s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one‘s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.
More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably be fully mined in the next two decades.
As one mining official puts it, ―It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.‖
The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying
―Diamonds are forever‖ may lose some of its meaning.
