An everyday problem in the American society is divorce. Divorce affects millions of families all over the place. Divorce affects the middle people the most, it affects mainly the children of families. Young children do not have the choice of what events happen in their lives. The parents make decisions that affect their own children. The children are usually very hurt by these choices. Although this is hard on the children it may be the better decision in the long run for the parents. Divorce is a lot like war. Like divorce, there are innocent people caught in the middle. An army may attack a city of another country and there may be civilians caught in the middle of the attack. Innocent people may die. The civilians do not have a choice of what another country does. The situation is out of their control, just like young children do not have control of their parents decisions. War is a large problem for a lot of countries. Most innocent civilians do not have a choice of what happens to them. They do not have a say in the politics of the country. Divorce is an extremely stressful situation for young children, as well as a stressful situation for innocent people caught in the middle of a war. War and divorce hurt all the innocent people involved.
