Back in the 1950s the man was the undisputed family breadwinner.

But fast forward 60 years and men today are apparently happy to play second fiddle to their wives when it comes to money.

Three-quarters of men now say it is no longer important for them to be the one who earns the most, new research reveals.

A study carried out by the U.S. edition of Men’s Health magazine claims it marks the death knell for ‘1950s man’.

Husbands as depicted in the hit TV show Mad Men apparently no longer exist - 45 per cent of men are now ‘very willing’ to look after the house if their wives earn more.

While one in five is already doing so and happily play house husband to their wealthier partners.

But there is a price for some - half of men think they have to give up some of their masculinity to become what they considered to be a ‘nurturing father’.

Men’s Health found that another big change was how men see other men earning less than their wives - nowadays there is less peer pressure than before to be the breadwinner.

The magazine’s U.S. editor Peter Moore said: ‘The ’50s are over. Father didn’t even always know best back then.

‘So, if one of the things a woman knows best is how to bring in a big income, more power to her - and more money to pay for the holiday trip to Aruba.’He added that men who are stuck in


the daily grind look at their colleagues who are at home with their family and think: ‘Dude, you’re a kept man. Congratulations!’

Some 89 per cent agree that protecting your family is a vital characteristic of being a man today. Only 29 per cent strongly agree that it’s OK to cry as a man.

However the study also found that 42 per cent of men said they did more housework than their fathers did and 69 per cent in a relationship take out the rubbish.

Adrienne Burgess, Head of Research at the Fatherhood Institute, said that 50s man was ‘appropriate for times’ but that things had changed for the better. She said: ‘I don’t think we should look back on it and condemn it.

‘It was for its time when women needed not to be deserted and needed men to go out and be the breadwinner for all sorts of reasons like education and contraception.

‘It’s not so much that attitudes have changed, but lives have changed. Things are not so rigid any more.

’Fred said we need to love and work and extremes of either are bad, so we need to find a balance’.

一座城市有名,关键在于那里出现过许多名人。我们常常将名人与名城联系在一起。到名人自然联想起他生活和工作的城市。想到名城,自然联想起曾在那里生活和工作的名人。旅游者访问一座历史名城,必然要参观那里的名人故居和名人纪念馆,目睹历史名人创造精神财富的环境,亲身感受历史名人所创造的精神财富的价值与意义。

Tourism in Europe's Mediterranean countries is a big business, but it is not loved. It is blamed for polluting the landscape, spoiling the beaches and corrupting the locals' morals. This is partly the countries' own doing. In the 1960s the governments of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece encouraged the building of hotels and other tourist infrastructure, which seemed the fastest way to catch up with the wealthier north. During the 40 years of breakneck development that followed, vast stretches of the Spanish coast were concreted over, transforming the Costa del Sol into the Costa del Concrete and attracting hordes of tourists in search of sun, sea and sand. Some Greek islands have come to resemble a Hellenic Hong Kong, with high-rise hotels and traffic jams.

Some people in tourism made good money, but in recent years even they have started to notice how the ugliness and the noise is keeping visitors away. The government in Madrid grew so concerned that it bought tracts of seaside land itself, to stop developers from getting their hands on it.

How Grandparents Help Our Species Survive

By FIONA MACRAE



They dote on their grandchildren, offer a treasure trove of wisdom and provide an invaluable babysitting service.

But it seems grandparents have a more crucial role - survival of the species.

Their practical and financial support helps keep youngsters fit and healthy, while their love and ability to listen helps children and teens get through difficult periods such as the divorce of their parents.

The conclusions come from Swiss and Australian researchers who analysed previous studies from around the world to pin down the role of grandparents. Several studies have linked grandmothers, in particular, with survival of the species.

For instance, an analysis of records from Finland found that children whose grandmothers were still relatively young when they were born were likely to live longer than youngsters with more elderly grandmothers.

A maternal grandmother, a child’s mother’s mother, is particularly nurturing. This could be because they can be more certain than any other grandparent that the child is part of their genetic line, with DNA that has not been tainted by affairs, and so worth the investment.

Maternal grandfathers produce the second highest level of care, followed by paternal grandmothers. Paternal grandfathers generally show the least interest, the journal Psychological Science reports.

University of Western Australia researcher David Coall said grandparents may also be motivated by the thought of having someone to take care of them when they grow old. If this is the case, they will shower their attention on the grandchildren whose parents are most likely to reciprocate in the future. Children don’t just benefit from better physical health if a grandparent is around - the emotional support can also be of huge value.

DrCoall said that studies show that grandparents can act as “buffers”, shielding youngsters from the fallout of divorce and troubled marriages.

Grandparents also benefit, with a study finding that grandmothers who babysat were more likely to exercise in the years to come.

But parents should not take advantage, with studies suggesting that too many hours of childcare can leave grandparents exhausted, as well as short of time and money.
