Item D Postmodernist sociologists argue that individual choice is now more
important to people than their responsibilities to their family. As a result,
people are choosing to live in a variety of different ways and the idea of family
is more difficult to define.
However, other sociologists argue that postmodernists overestimate the
extent of change in family life.
Applying material from Item D and your knowledge, evaluate the view that
individual choice in personal relationships has made family life less important
in the United Kingdom today.
