Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by thedivision of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the incometo support their families,while women cooked the meals and took careof the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for mostpeople,andtherewas notmuchopportunity forwomentoexchange theirroles. But by the middle of this century, men's and women's roleswere becoming less firmly fixed. examda

    In the  1950s,economic and social  success  was the goal of thetypical American. But in the 1960s a new force developed called thecounterculture. The people involved in this movement did not valuethemiddle-class Americangoals.The counterculturepresentedmen andwomen with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare,menbegan to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact,someyoungmenand womenmovedtocommunal homesorfarmswhere theeconomicand childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. Inaddition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role ofsoldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fightin the war in Vietnam.

    Intermsof numbers,thecounterculturewas notaverylarge groupofpeople. But itsinfluence spreadto many partsof American society.Working men of all classes began to change their economic and socialpatterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut downon “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with  their families. Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away fromhigh  paying  situations  to  practice  their  professions  in  poorerneighborhoods.

    In  the  1970s,the  feminist movement,or  women's  liberation,produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all agesand at all levels of society were entering the work force in greaternumbers. Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as publicschool teaching,nursing,and secretarial work. But some women beganto  enter  traditionally  male  occupations:police  work,banking,dentistry,and construction work. Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.examda

    Today  the  experts  generally  agree  that  important  changes  aretaking place in the  roles of men and women. Naturally, there aredifficulties in adjusting to these transformations.
