In the past, families had very roles with the father being the breadwinner and the mother taking care of the children and household. But nowadays, things have changed a lot. Families are more equal and everyone shares . Fathers are more involved in parenting and decision-making, while mothers have more opportunities to work outside the home. It's not uncommon to see fathers staying home with their children while the mother is at work. This change has allowed families more flexibility in how they divide tasks and responsibilities. It has also led to more diverse family structures. However, there are still some families who follow traditional gender roles, but it's becoming less common. Overall, the trend is towards more equal and balanced family structures where everyone can contribute and have their valued.

Light pollution: One city turns off its lights
On the evening of 26 September 2019, the streets of Geneva in Switzerland went dark. This usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off to allow people to go outside and look at the stars. This is often impossible in a city because of light pollution.
Light pollution is when light from streetlamps or buildings makes the night less dark. There are many reasons why this is a problem. Animals sleep less because they think it is still daytime. Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way, but light pollution makes this difficult. Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at night, crash into buildings and die.
Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. Also, we don't see the same sky that people in the past did. This means we almost never see one of the greatest sights in the world: the millions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it in their lives.
However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce light pollution: we can all turn lights off when we don't need them and we can cover our windows with curtains. If there is less light pollution, we will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
