*Paraphrase in your own words the following passage.
*Then, in one sentence, summarize the main idea of the passage.
âDIVORCE IS NOW PART of everyday American life. It is embedded in our laws and institutions, our manners and mores, our movies and television shows, our novels and childrenâs storybooks, and our closest and most important relationships. Indeed, divorce has become so pervasive that many people naturally assume it has seeped into the social and cultural mainstream over a long period of time. Yet this is not the case. Divorce has become an American way of life only as the result of recent and revolutionary change.â
- Barbara Defoe Whitehead, The Divorce Culture, 1998 (p. 3)
