STACEY - Diversity does not mean an emergence of the dominance of another form of family. It would be impossible to revert back to having a "common type". Social attitudes and policies must adjust to suit the fluid/diverse situation.
MORGAN - Diversity is evidence of the plurality & fragmentation in society. Exceptions to the family in the past are no longer problematic.
CHEAL - There is now great difficulty in finding a common definition for family.
BERNADES - fragmentation is a positive development after the oppression from modern society e.g functionalists & the nuclear family.
