Recently ‘family diversity’ becomes a social issue in Korea. Many scholars and policy makers regard the family diversity as positive change from anachronistic ‘standard family’. This is contrasted with the ‘family decline’ or ‘pro-family’ argument. We cannot deny that all kinds of family are isolated from community, being reduced in scale and dissolved in the long term individualizing trend owing to the materialization of human relationship in the capitalist societies. Furthermore, divorce and remarriage rates have dramatically grown up and the recent influx of foreign labor has increased ethenic diversity. These trends have surely led to the diversification of family, the emergence of new family styles such as a single parent family and a step-family. It is understandable to take the phenomenon for granted and to argue for supporting the new family styles to function properly. However, this view seems to be so much obsessed with criticising the conservative pro-family ideology which regards only the ‘standard-family’ as normal. The author of this paper tries to show that the family diversity argument can rationalize or even mystify the dissolution of diverse traditional families by representing it as ‘family diversity’. As a matter of fact, the appearance of family diversity can be a superficial outward show of converging diverse families into ‘temporal monogamy’.
