　　 Over time,　the Declaration of Independence has deeply affected American history.　Phrases from the document such as “all men are created equal” quickly took on a life of their own or were applied to groups that the authors never expected.　Blacks quickly used this language to challenge slavery in the United Sates.　The ideal of equality led Northern states to free slaves in the 1780s,1790s,and early 1800s.Black and white abolitionists(废奴主义者) used the ideal that all men were created equal to attack slavery in the South before the Civil War.　And civil fights supporters gathered behind Jefferson's words in their fight against racism in the 1950s and 1960s.In 1848 the delegates(代表) to the Seneca Falls women's fights conference proclaimed that “all men and women are created equal”,　and the 20th?century feminist(女权主义者) did the same.?

　　“There is a senseless idea that children, grow up and leave home when they are 18, and the troth is far from that,” says sociologist Lary Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin．Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents．“There is a major shift in the middle class,” declares sociologist Allasan Schnailberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months．

　　Analysts cite a variety of reasons for this remm to the nest．The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people．A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters．For some, the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so excessively great that many students now attend local schools．Even after graduation, young people find their wings cut by skyrocketing housing costs．

　　Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support．Her mother agreed, “It’s ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent．It makes sense for kids to stay at home．” But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all．There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy．Some families, however, manage the delicate(微妙的)balancing act．But for others, it proves too difficult．Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times．“What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem,” she explains．“He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends’ houses．”

　　Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake．Children, struggling to establish separate identities, can end up with “a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure．” And again parents, who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom, find themselves stuck with responsibilities．Many agree that brief visits, however, can work beneficially．

(1)
