SS205: Sociology, Week 07 Assignment Current Event Assignment

The article that I have chosen for this week's assignment explores the current phenomenon of bored mothers and housewives turning to drugs and affairs. The article refers to an article by author and mother Amy Sohn whose neighborhood is going through something called The 40-year-old reversion where women party to extremes as if they were 25 again.

The article is an example of conflict perspective from our text. The behavior may be a result of conflict within their marriages, boredom from not working or an attempt to regain some power that these women feel that they have lost. That being said these experiences are also a way for them to reward themselves for working hard at home and at work. In closing, this behavior could cause a marriages to go either way depending on the honesty, boundaries and support of the spouse.
