Through this tradition, Jackson demonstrates the blind following of society’s illogical customs and illustrates the fact that people only rebel when the consequence brought about by culture directly affects them. Human rights have been stunted by tradition. I once asked my mother why she voted for Proposition 8, her response was that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and homosexuals should seek some other word for their union. She is afflicted by the tenacious grip of tradition, and her excuse if focused on semantics. Tessie Hutchinson is a victim of this blind sense of pride for tradition.
Male and females complement each other anatomically, and as Ryan T. Anderson elaborated, the “biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman,” (Anderson, 2013). If desired, traditional marriages support reproduction of families, children, and communities, whereas same sex marriages are not able to produce offspring for future generations. Without traditional marriages, fundamental building blocks of human civilization and community networks and children would be lost forever. Social and political liberal activists are putting forth arguments to change traditional marriage laws. As same sex marriages are certainly capable of providing loving relationships and family unity.
Shotgun marriages lead to divorce or unhappiness in the relationship. For example my aunt was force to marry due to pregnancy at a very young and lived with an abuse, unloving husband. It is no longer crucial to marry because of pregnancy and have society debase you. The Division of labor between men and women has developed equality and helped better society in many aspects especially for women. Traditional expectation of a women being home, taking care of the children and depending on her husband financial income, but now women
Lastly, it was highly unlikely for women to climb the social status ladder compared to a man that could slowly but surely work his way up. The “Tale of Genji” and the “Tale of Ise” gave some examples that support the submissive social status of aristocratic Japanese women and how they were not equal to men. Selected chapters from the “Tale of Genji” painted a story of an emperor’s son-in-law who had an affair with his wife’s sister and took this sin with him to his deathbed. The Third Princess, the woman involved in the affair, birthed a son. The fact that she had a son later reveals the unfair gender roles of the child, compared to the idea of if she had a daughter.
This means that all the young people will have the food and shelter needed to grow up and this will help reproduce a stable society. The family also offers a place for the stabilisation of adult personalities, the family is a pace where adults can relax and release tension. This allows them to be more focused on their jobs which are essential for wider society. D) Functionalist sociologist believe that the family performs vital functions for the maintenance of wider society and for the individual members of the family, because of this they believe that the family is a key institution of society, and the nuclear family structure is the best family structure. This strong view has helped us assess whether the nuclear family is best or even if this family structure is the most dominant.
Since the husband’s role is to go out and provide a living for his family, the wives job is to look after the home. It may not be considered a public work, but her position within the home is still very vital and important. Her role is a non income producing activity, but ensures the success of the family. Another role for a Christian wife is the raising of her children. Titus 2: 3-5 states that, "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored," (The Christian Woman", 2004).
Parenting requires a lot of skills such as patience, communication, and teaching and not to mention also a positive attitude. Expressing love and affection has always been one of the best skills to use as encouragement. Loving your children unconditionally, expressing to them how important they are to you helps develop a relationship. According to Divorce Wizards (1997), too often, children living in single parents households have to contend with negative stereotypes and hurtful remark made by insensitive adults. Therefore parents are the most important people in their children into a confident, productive, and responsible adult in today’s society.
This is due to them having bilateral decent. Having bilateral family can be beneficial to San members in time of need. Having this family can provide support and assistance during the times it is needed. The San also practice matrilocality. The text says “Matrilocality allows the bride's parents to make sure the groom treats their daughter properly and to serve as her advocate while she is young and still learning how to support her position.” (3.7).
Ideally though, I would like him to attractive, funny, and smart, but those are just my prefences. 23 to 25 years old is the ideal age for marriage, in my opinion. I think this because you will most likley be out of collage and have a job. However, it all depends on your circumstances of your own life for when you should get married, because there is no definined age for marriage. I belive that parents should have a great say in who their child marries, because the parents are the ones who have raised up this child, and it seems silly for them to devot themselves to this person and then allow them to just marry and live with this for the rest of their lives whoever they want.
It is thought that in a patriarchal society domestic violence against a woman by a man is inevitable as men like to prove their control. Radical feminists believe that for patriarchy to be abolished, which it should, then women must separate themselves from men, for example, they suggest ‘political lesbianism’ as to have heterosexual relationships it involves ‘sleeping with the enemy’, this male dominance over woman may be the reason there is an increase of same- sex and matriarchal families as men are no longer apart of the family structure. There is proof that this theory is based on truth as men and women are not equal, for example, men get higher wages in several jobs however, there is also issues other feminists and theorists have which is that females can also be abusive to the people surrounding them and it ignores the other factors for violence such as financial stress or mental health problems therefore domestic violence is not necessarily a way of gaining control. Marxists Feminists argue that men are not the main cause of women’s suppression but rather that capitalism is as it uses women to perform the jobs and services they need. This is because women as said to a ‘reserve army’ of cheap labour as they are taken on when extra workers or needed and then
