Annotated Bibliography

Kozak, Agata. "Post-modern Changes in Marital and Family Life." Journal of Education Culture
and Society, 2011.1 (2011): 73-79.
Agata Kozaks article relates describes how families are changing and are no longer the nuclear
family that they used to people. People are getting married later, having fewer children, and
divorcing at higher rates. I found this article in the Oviatt Library in a journal that had to do with
family and family relationships. This source will be good for my paper since it answers the first
question in the family relationships theme about how families are defined. I know that this
source is strong since it was peer reviewed. I made sure to only use peer-reviewed sources.

Merrill, Jason M. "Two Steps Behind: The Law's Struggle to Keep Pace with the Changing
Dynamics of the American Family." Utah Law Review, 2009.2 (2009): 557.
Merrills work is helpful in showing how the laws how not changed as fast as the family as. As a
result, laws do not address many of the problems that the modern family now faces. This journal
was found in the Oviatt Library when I searched for changing family dynamics. This source
has been cited many times by other authors which makes it good for my work. I will use this
source to show how the changing family affects society.
Teachman, Jay D, Lucky M Tedrow, and Kyle D Crowder. "The Changing Demography of
America's Families." Journal of Marriage and Family, 62.4 (2000): 1234-1246.
Techma, Tedow, and Crowders work is helpful in pointing out how much the American family
has changed compared to how it was in the past. These changes have had big social implications.
I found this journal in the Oviatt Library by looking up family society and America. This
source has been cited before and comes from a journal that is recognized. I will use this source to
show how the family structure affects society.
Qian, Zhenchao, and Daniel T Lichter. "Changing Patterns of Interracial Marriage in a
Multiracial Society." Journal of Marriage and Family, 73.5 (2011): 1065-1084.
Zenchao and Lichter talk about interracial marriage and how this has affected families and
society. A lot of racism and other social problems are alleviated since different races are coming
together in marriage. I found this journal in the same in the same database that I found the third

one which has to do with family and how it has changed. I even used the same words to find it.
This source has been cited by other researchers and comes from a journal that is peer reviewed
and does not accept everything. I will use this source to show how the new family is different
from the old one and how it affects society.
