As we  have seen in our readings thus far, the American Family has undergone  many changes. These changes are impacting relationships, marriage,  families, and parenthood. Of these 4 areas, choose 1 area that is of  most interest to you to do some additional research on the changes that  have occurred. Find 2 recent (within the last 5-7 years) scholarly  articles on the area that you have selected that reflect the changes  that have occurred. Briefly summarize each article and then compare and  contrast the 2 articles. Your summary will include an introduction of the  topic, a no more than 2 paragraph summary for each  article selected, a 1-2 paragraph discussion comparing and contrasting  the information found. Please create your assignment as an APA formatted  word document to included a cover page, a reference page and APA  formatted citations throughout. You will NOT need an abstract for this  assignment. Please see the grading rubric below. 

Please make sure the following is done in the summary.

Topic  selected is in the area of relationships, marriage, family or  parenthood. Two (2) appropriate scholarly articles are chosen with  publication dates within the last 5-7 years

A clear summary of the findings of each article is presented. Writing is original in nature and uses few, if any direct quotes

A clear discussion of the 2 articles is provided including a comparison and contrast of the findings.
