Summary
In The New York Times article “Once Rare in Rural American, Divorce Is Changing The Face of Its Families” (March 23, 2011), Sabrina Tavernise and Robert Gebeloff said that 40 years ago the divorce almost did not exist in some rural places or city such as Iowa because a lot of its residents were very religious; moreover, around the same 70s cities’ people were more likely to divorce than rural people, but today the data of divorce is the same in both places, reported an analysis of census data by The New York Time. People who has lower education such as just high school is less tending to keep married, and more tending to have children when they are no married than people who has higher education insist professor Carbone. However, the divorce stigma has been declining because the tendency of cities´ women look for a job, change the family life style, and get autonomy has been taken for woman who live in rural places
Response
The experience that I have acquired living in Chile and United states I can say that I agree with what the article said. I agree that time agro the divorce was concentrate in the cities actually in the bigger cities. I have my own theory that why divorces were not really popular in rural places, I think that women in rural places were more submissive to their husband and children than the new generations, the new women generation has more worlds to know, they are more open mind, and more independent.
