As far as family life is concerned, yes it has changed.

We are much more of a transient society now.

We no longer live in the same, or near street, as our extended family.

Plus, a greater number of women go out to work than ever before.

Are the evils of today's society down to the breakdown of the close extended family?

Possibly, but personally I think the change in us as a society becoming more insular, and not caring as much for the people around us, started on May 4th 1979, when we abandoned traditional British values of respecting one another, and started the gradual descent into a culture of greed, and what we could grab for ourselves.
