Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nuclear family consists of a married couple and their children living together in the same household. However, Mary and Steve's family is a traditional nuclear family because it conforms to the traditional gender roles where the husband works outside the home and the wife does domestic work. The other options do not apply in this scenario; a postmodern family is characterized by diverse family structures and roles, a global nuclear family includes extended family members living across different countries, and neither of these apply in this scenario.
