2.) The family structure itself is rapidly changing, yet the closeness between the members in the family is still as strong and important as ever.

It's normal for young adults in France to live with their parents well into their twenties, while in America some are expected to be out on their own with a career choice by age 18. ]]> 2017-09-27 15:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191715064 https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191715145 1.) Though the rates of marriages versus divorce seem to be conflicting, the bond within a family seems to be as strong as ever. Over two thirds of individuals from 20-24 live with their parents. The French culture seems to have a heavy basis in family relations. 
2.) The traditional idea of marriage is changing. 60% of first-time births are now with unmarried couples. Only after living together for a while and having a few kids does this statistic change. 

I feel like on social level, there's quite a bit of similarities. I don't have the statistics, but I feel as though the trend of marriage/divorces are the same in the USA.]]> 2017-09-27 15:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191715145 https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191715188  French culture is undergoing similar changes that we see in American culture. In France, as in America, more and more people are living together before marriage, and having children out of wedlock, which is common today, but was scandalous in the past. 
 
Our text tells us that in France it is common for people to remain at home with their parents until their mid-twenties. This trend also exists in our culture. Is this perhaps something that is traditionally French, or is it that the same social developments that are altering our culture also altering France's?

Family also seems to be important in French culture, given that young adults stay at home longer, and they tend to be close to their extended families.
One main difference between American and French culture is their acceptance of having their pets in more public spaces.]]> 2017-09-27 15:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191715484 https://padlet.com/rofaerberovaska/sijxlgys7fau/wish/191716105

Their couples tend to marry later, but overrall the marriage rate is decresing because of the PACS and unmarried couples are more likely to just live together.

The statistics show that more couples live together and have children before they actually get married. Therefore, most couples tend to marry later after they have children as a result. Although the marriage rate is declining along with a rising divorce rate, family is still the most important value within culture. In comparison to the United States, many individuals would consider having children before marriage an oddity as it typically does not surround the type of custom that we have instead.
