Which of the following describes the changing role of women in the home? a. new technologies enabled women to devote more time to their families. b. women were forced to work, thus neglecting their families. c. women and children continued working to support the family. d. more women worked outside the home while men stayed at home.

The changing role of women at home demonstrates that more women work outside home while men stay at home (Option D) due to the economic downturn in some societies during the last decades. The role of women has changed in the last years, since changes in the workforce shows that in 1950 only 34% of women worked outside the home while today is 60%. Traditionally, women were expected to stay at home in charge of doing the household but also taking care of their children. Now, more women are occupying jobs in the fields of teaching, health care, at law offices, science labs, the Congress as well as the Supreme Court among others. It is important to state that most women have two full-time jobs: one is at home while the other is at work. At the same time, more men who have lost their jobs and are unemployed due to recession, stay at home taking care of children and doing the chore.

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
