The Future of Fatherhood
Aspen Institute, 2014
¿De qué se trata?
The traditional role of the father is undergoing a radical face-lift.
Recommendation
Some 35 years after the release of Robert Benton’s Kramer vs. Kramer, society still isn’t fully accustomed to the idea of the father as the primary caregiver. Recent social trends may have redressed this problem somewhat by thrusting many out-of-work men into househusband roles. Aspen Ideas Festival’s panel of experts discusses the shifting paradigm. The panelists name-drop several authors and studies during the presentation, and the conversation darts rapidly from topic to topic. Though the nature of the discussion encourages broad generalizations, getAbstract suggests this astute analysis to both working and stay-at-home parents tackling the modern challenges of raising kids.
