To my understanding, this topic talks about fathers jobless fathers doing what is supposed to be women jobs. Men being involve in families, the ideals shift of men and women now have high paid jobs. Gender roles here are parents babysitting their children while their women work full time or are pursuing high education. Johnathan being example here, he stays at home, barely have his own money while his wife works and continues with her education. He also use his wife’s money to pay for dinner and his father find that unacceptable, wrong. Like the article said, the division of labor here is shifted and that men had to go through what women went though. Women are now doing blue color jobs. I would ask them if they feel inferior to their wives being in that position.

The negative is more published than the positive. my concerns would be what are their suggestions of possible solutions.

Prompt #3

A research on homelessness by Christian, Jennifer Howson, Alexandra addresses the increasing of homelessness. In this research they mention although homelessness is more viable and relevant in the twenty first century than prior decades, it still remain challenging to provide prevention programs and resolutions to end this epidemic of homeless. They stated that homelessness is a large urban problem and it continue to rise because of lack of affordable housing and poverty, although it is also cause by other societal problems.
