Answer to Question 1

Self-help books can create five serious problems:
1. They can threaten relationships.
2. They can make people feel inadequate.
3. They often reinforce gender stereotypes.
4.They oversimplify complex problems.
5. They generalize limited findings.

Answer to Question 2

Many historians believe that golden days never existed. According to them, people romanticize the golden days only because they know so little about the past. Even in the 1800s, many families experienced out of wedlock births, domestic violence, and desertion by a parent or spouse. Family life in the good old days was filled with deprivation, loneliness, and danger. Families worked very hard and often were crushed by accidents, illness, and disease. Until the mid-1940s, a much shorter life expectancy meant that parental death often led to children's placement in extended families, foster care, or orphanages.
