What were the established traditional roles of men and women in your society before the obvious change.

In my society they was a role of not having a daughter education female education was not consider as important. In 19th century female were consider not to be important,their role were mostly in the house. A female child was not given concentration in the aspect of Education they were regard as inferior and were not given most authority in educational point.

Women were not allow to go for hunting, they were keep in the house their husbands (men) were the only one hunting and gathering food but this change in the 20 and 21th century now women and men all together are running for the survival of the family .
In our society then woman were not allow to voice out they were intotal subjection to the men
The show maximum respect regardless of their age they were in subjection to the man, whatever the man says stand even though is not accepted by the female, even though it will not favour the woman.

Have the change in roles and values resulted in something positive or negative? Please explain.
  on the positive aspect of first

In Education; woman are great teachers, lecturers, and professors in different field women are best and good instructors since they were given an opportunity they have always give out the best potential in them and show that they are talented despite the setbacks in the 19th centuries

In Professions more women are now Medical Doctor, Lawyers, Engineers, Accountant and Footballer they are doing their best are at the peak of their professions this also indicate that women if were given opportunity since they world will have been a better place for the whole world.

In Enterprenurship women have made a lot of impact most of the women are members board of directors in difference conglomerate, CEOs, Executive member and senior staff in government firms.
Checking the military you will discover that most of the women are military officer defending the lives of civilian.
Most women are traders and they occupy the higher percentage of marketer and traders union.

Generally in government most of the women are commissioner, ministers, governor's and deputy governor this generally shows that woman are best gift to humanity.

     Also they are negative effect

Most women since they were given opportunity they are now stubborn and no more submissive to their husbands or men, the claim equal right, not longer in subjection and loyal to the men as customs demands.

How has the change in roles and values affected the family structure and the upbringing of children?

woman now adays are bread winner of the family. Some of them involve in tenidious Job such as artisans, welding, farming etc just to keep food for the family.
They have really contribute to the success of the family cooking food for the children, taking them to school and even bringing them back
In general sense this change has really improve the life and value of the children and mostly enlighten the children of the need of having a helping hand to the man.

What will you say to advocates of Patriarchy who believes that it fills the woman's need to have someone with more power and experience to take care of her.

in and orderly manner woman supposed to have someone who intersited for them as a women need a shoulder to lean on they need an adviser, counselor and a friend, this can be achieved by a man, who are terms to be more stronger than the woman. Patriarchy are right that they need a leaning hands more stronger than them.

What role has technology and the economy played in the change in roles and values?

Technology and Economy played a changing roles and value.
In the ancestry they was nothing like technology but today you will see that even accessing money and payment of bills is easy and fast due to the use of money app for payment of bills and accessing other things.

Technology has affected everyday life as it enable easily access we have browser now to use access any site you wish to
We have television that enable us to have vision of the world and what is going on in the universe.

Technology and Economy has play a key role in addressing the situation and conditions of the society.
