12. Modern Moms Aren't as Busy as 1960s Moms Were

Modern Moms Aren't as Busy as 1960s Moms Were
Written by , she presented an article on how moms today aren't busy as moms were 50 years ago. There were lots of surveys and research results in the article to prove that moms are far less active then they were in the 1960s. It is mostly likely due to the development of technology and internet. As dishwashers and washingmachine were invented, that reduced a whole lot on the amount of calories moms were burning. Also the entertainment on TV and internet are keeping moms busy instead of doing the laundry or vacumming the house. As entertainments are keeping them busy, so are work that they do. Staying at the office throughout the whole day definitely keeps them inactive.

Khazan included many informational data, statistics, percentages and even graphs to show the readers how moms nowadays are inactive as they were a few decades ago. Since there are so many numbers having to do with this subject, the words were kind of confusing but Khazan managed to keep her article organized by separating the information in many paragraphs. Her evidence to support her claim was very sufficient and convincing. Since it's mostly statistical evidence, readers can't really argue about them. She was persuasive in her writing and used humorous concepts when explaining things about moms.
