Some may feel that because they don’t share or believe in the same standards or preaching that they are less significant or made to feel that way. If a woman who has grown up strictly based on a catholic faith system wants to marry a man that has grown up Lutheran. First off, what happens if the families don’t approve of each other because of this, but still those two people love each other. This would cause major tension between not only the two families, but also between the two individuals themselves. Secondly, now they need to pick which faith they are going to follow as a united pair.
Living with the opposite sex only helps strengthen personalities and helps with relationships later in life. Most people grew up with brothers and sisters. People who did not grow up with brothers and sisters are at a loss when it comes to human interaction and this will help them with opposite sex relationships. If they find they don’t like living with the opposite sex this could help them be better at being gay. Living in an all female or all male is not natural for most people who are not gay.
By reading the principal’s speech, Richard was saying what the white power wanted him to say and to Richard this would be giving in to the very thing he hated so much. Richard was willing to leave school without a diploma instead of this. White people alienated Richard from his environment because he did not accept the way of life that other black people did. Richard’s relatives never understood Richard and because of this he was alienated from his family and his own people. Shorty is the young black boy who gets beat by the white people and jokes about it.
Finally the men didn’t think much of women for doing things that they could. Most men married women for their inheritance, childbirth, appearance, housekeeping and were expected to be married by their families. I think the suffragists campaigns were important but not as important as what happened during WW1. Source one shows Joyce’s opinion so it’s not a solid fact so it might not be reliable as she could be bias to the suffragists. But I believe that the suffragists did help women win the vote by showing they can do it in a calm and peaceful way.
The two know of the forbidden love, yet the two don’t care until things really hit the fan when the young girl then gets pregnant. In this story a white male and an African American girl were to never been seen together. This yes, was considered taboo. Where as today, some may still feel a certain way when other races date not that of their own, but it is still considered acceptable to most. In addition, there was also racial discrimination in “The Welcome Table” written by Walker.
Some value statements about gender that are evidenced in this film are when the grandfather only wanted boys to be a part of the chief training and when the two twins were born, he was very angered that Paikea who is a girl survived rather than the boy. These statements are made clear because the grandfather took the chief tradition very serious and only males were allowed to be chief. In their culture, the males are in charge and females come second. What value statements about youth and age are evidenced in this film? How?
His sexual orientation was even that of a female, expressing romantic interest in a male, wanting to dress up in dresses, ect. This gives the community a negative outlook on him and his family. The neighbors wish to keep Ludo away from their son, who Ludo is in love with and said that he will marry him once he grows into a woman. Ludo’s parents send Ludo to a psychiatrist. In my opinion I feel that the counseling did not help Ludo because he still had embedded in his believe that he is a female.
My parents’ opinions on my decision to date interracially heavily effect me because they are in opposition. They do not approve of my boyfriend because he is, in their words, “dark.” I have noticed a great trend of parental affects amongst Asian Americans who decide to date African Americans. More so, Asian American females who decide to date African American males. I feel the outcome of whether or not these Asian/African couples last depends greatly on the negative or positive attitudes being portrayed from the parents. So the question in mind is whether or not parents truly dictate whether or not a relationship will last.
Relationships can be hard, especially, when careers interfere. If Cliff did quit so he could stay with Priscilla, she may regret being the cause of him quitting or he may always hold it over her head by saying, “you should do this for me since I quit my career to be with you.” Another problem with this relationship is that Cliff and Priscilla are an interracial couple. Interracial couples were permitted but not accepted during this time, especially in the South. Even though the nation was desegregated, not everyone approved of blacks and whites being together. Cody the bartender told Sam how his Father would have handled Cliff and Priscilla’s relationship if it had occurred while Buddy was
Many domestic violence victims view domestic violence as a family issue and are thus hesitant to “dishonor” their families by exposing the problem. In addition, most victims, in spite of the violence still love their husbands or see them as the father of their children, so they try to protect them and are unwilling to tell the entire truth. In one of my cases, the victim abandoned her claim when she was told her LPR abusive spouse will not be able to gain US citizenship if she files a VAWA petition against
