Adversity affects today’s families, just as the Black Death affected families from earlier times. What kinds of adverse challenges do today’s families face and how can they manage the situation?

Explanation:

Okay, so diseases such as Black Death no longer affect families on a large scale, however, there are many other adverse challenges that modern families have to face. For example, stress is a huge adverse factor in families, due to hectic modern life, jobs, and school, which can put a strain on family relations. This may lead to disease, to cheating, divorcing, etc. Money and poverty can also be an issue. 

Hope this helps. :)
