Psy 230 Week 2

This view of marriage has changed over the years- husband’s and wife’s roles, the reasons for marriage, and the amount of marriages and

Even if there was unhappiness in the marriage, many of the couples stayed married just so they would not be isolated in society. Divorce is a lot more socially acceptable in today’s society, as compared to previous decades. With the increase in divorce, single-parent households have become a lot more common, this is because the beliefs of divorce have changed over time. Divorce is one of the clear representations of postmodernism. Before, marriages may have been happy, but for the most part, marriages were happy, but now, many marriages are not happy. The idea behind marriage is love, happiness, and eternity. This is evident in the many of the vows that are exchanged during wedding ceremonies. The vows in themselves are lies. Saying that the couple will be in love and happy forever, until death, is not the truth. Society is fooled into believing the marriage is happy, and it will always be happy, as seen with the increase in divorce rates, this is no longer the truth. Since the beliefs of divorce have been changing, the beliefs of the types of marriages have also changed.

I choose scenario B and I would tell my partner that I am sorry but I cannot do that, it is illegal in the state and I can’t put my job on the line for this. I very sorry for what he and his wife are going through but doing this is wrong and there is other ways to get help for her pain. I would also tell him that I would help in any other way but this is not the way to do it and talk to him on what they have and have not done and maybe give him more information on what he has not done so they can go this way and not worry about our jobs being on the line. I would also tell him that I can’t arrest him just for speeding and there would be questions on why I arrested him and soon or later they would figure out what happen. I am not going to fake an arrest for him it’s not fair to anyone and the guy would know that we took the marijuana and turn us in, because they do not play with their drugs and that is another way we can get caught and then if you get caught what will happen to your wife.

“Americans do not seem to be interested in a reality check on the topics of love and marriage. After all, it seems to be more fun to believe in fairy tales” (Hornblow). There is a large number of Americans who would get married at least once in their lives, without thinking of the importance of a marriage and the possibilities that could happen based on quick decisions. The true meaning to what marriage is, issues involving marriage, which causes the divorce rate to rise in the United States, and the importance of marriage, to what is being done to increase the chance of a happy long-lasting marriage. Marriages in the United States can be seen by the explanation of the effects of not being able to tackle problems, or being able to learn how to work through complex issues of everyday life as a married couple.

Divorce is a major sociological issue. Divorce rates continue to rise annually and more and more the definition of ‘family’ begins to change. Around 40% of marriages ended in divorce in 2004 (West). This is an epidemic that at one point shocked many People. While, divorce use to be socially and for many, religiously unacceptable it is becoming more and more a social norm. Even though it is becoming more common for couples to end marital issues with the decision of divorce, it is still a major social problem. Divorce is reshaping our culture (A Sociological Analysis of Divorce and its effects). Many people do not realize that not only does divorce affect the couple, it also greatly impacts any children involved, the extended family and the society as a whole.

In the modern era, with economic independence available for both men and women, many people are choosing not to marry these days. Williams reports that marriage rates have dropped to a forty-year low while divorce rates continue to hover just above 50 percent. In addition to the high divorce rate, the report issued by Rutgers University’s National Marriage Project indicates that the percentage of married people who reported “being happy” in their marriages fell from 53.5 in 1973-76 to 37.8 in 1996 (1). Williams attributes these phenomena to social changes such as legalization of cohabitation between

The main premise of this book is to counter and disprove the common held beliefs in our society about marriage and divorce. Shaunti Feldhahn started this goal in 2006 when she was writing on one of her newspaper columns and decided to reference the divorce rate. However, she quickly became perplex with the numerous sources claiming differing rates and enlisted the help of her then researcher assistant, Tally Whitehead. After many hours, Feldhahn and Whitehead opted to call an expert on marriage and divorce in order to finally acquire the answers they craved. To their surprise, the expert had no answer for them. This is because there is no exact divorce rate. The divorce rate is constructed on multiple subcategories that can be calculated and

I concluded my notes preoccupied by the thought of how high the rates for divorce are in today society. I overlook simple blessings like having a whole family who stays consistent with their spouse, coming from my grandparents to my own parents. The Bible talks about how divorce is a sin, and to honor this, our generation must realize that marriage is a serious

Marriage is an important issue in people’s life because it brings couples close relationship and children. There are a lot of benefits of marriage such as longer life expectancy, better sex experience, strong emotional support and close family bond. However, in the United States, the divorce rate becomes higher than the past because of marital conflicts, financial problems, external marital affairs and etc. According to the statistics, new couples in the modern society since 1990s have a 50% chance to get divorced (Stanley et al., 1995). With the more liberal the society become, the moral judgement of marriage is weaker, and divorced people don’t have the concern of being blamed or suppressed anymore. For enhancing the consistent

About four-in-ten (39%) Americans hold the view that “marriage is becoming obsolete.” An over ten percent increase from merely forty years ago when only twenty-eight percent of the population held that view (A Record Low). We are living in a society where the role of marriage has been largely diminishing, on the rate of every 1,000 people 6.8 of our population had entered a marriage in 2010. Yet nearly half of that of our population got divorced in the same year. For the past ten years our divorce rate has maintained that same rate of around fifty percent (Divorce Rate Trends). Showing that the rate of failed marriage over people entering marriage maintains a higher rate, while our public view of marriage has not reflected this enough.

Over the past decades, the divorce rate has increased tremendously. Sadly, society today has made it seem like divorce is a normal thing. There are many consequences to making such a big decision that does not only affect the couple, but also could affect the whole family. The effects of having a divorce could include financial loss, children suffering, and be emotionally unstable.
