1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

In his essay entitled “The Decay of Laying”, author Oscar Wilde wrote that “life imitates art far more than art imitates life” (Wilde, 1891). One of the biggest questions that Wilde’s quote created was whether he was right, and life truly does imitate art. Regardless of whether he is accurate or not, art, including television, is often studied to provide understanding of how life was perceived at the point in time when the art was produced. This essay will analyze five episodes of a family situational comedy (sitcom) from the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to provide ...

Research Question The research conducted by Duncan, Wilkerson & England (2003) aimed at investigating the impact of marriage and cohabitation on licit and illicit drug abuse. In order to investigate this issue, the scholars use two theoretical perspectives, namely a cultural framework and a rational choice theory. The first perspective evaluates marriage as a set of cognitive associations that exceed religious and legal rules. According to this view, marriage makes people make better choices in life and recognize their responsibilities, as a couple has to live together. A rational choice theory sees a couple as two self-interested stakeholders who follow ...

A Christian marriage is centered on Christ’s teaching unlike other forms of marriages based on legal and secular aspects. The marriage binds two people to live in the image of Christ. Secular marriages are based on vows of legality and other ethical or social attributes acting as norms to the community. Christ does not play a role in their life during and after marriages. In this regard, the Christian marriages do not only define such aspects as the life after marriage but also make recommendations on controversial issues affecting it like divorce. As Cloutier argues, marriage in Christianity ...

Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower (1995) is as creative just like it is ironical if the current contemporary efforts around the globe are put into context. The Dystopian perception that dominates the novel makes it attractive to present and future readers. Several themes emerge from the story through prominent characters such as Lauren and Mrs. Sims.

The essay delves into how poor leadership can erode past gains in ...

There has, since the writing of the constitution been a platform for the separation of church and state based on the first amendment. The first amendment specifically states that the government will not establish a religion, or prohibit the exercise of any religion. Unfortunately, what this means and how it should be applied has remained unclear. However, the original writer of that Amendment, Jefferson, reportedly stated that he hoped the Amendment could be used to build a “wall between church and state” fully separating one from the other (Hamburger 1). However, there have still been a number of cases ...

Introduction

The American Society represents a typical society that is characterized by high levels of social stratifications. Different individuals belong to various social classes depending on their socioeconomic status. Research has shown that the stability and the level of satisfaction in a romantic union have a significant bearing on the socioeconomic status of individuals (Heaton 396). Additionally, the social status affects the strength of the bond among partners. Arguably, the establishment of power in spousal relationships is related to the socioeconomic class that the partners belong. The quality of the relationship and the tendency of youths to engage in marriage ...

There are considerable scholars who link relationship adjustment to individual functioning such as personal character and also link virtues to family and church institutions’ functioning and stability. Within this group of scholars, they argue that relationship adjustment is linked to general and marital virtues namely other-centeredness (Cloutier 134). In theorizing the process through which spouses create healthy relationships, scholars must move from the technical concept of functional marriage and look to the successful use of other essential components such as communication skills that largely depend on the virtues and personal character. Virtues are the personal qualities and the character ...

The Need for A Vacation

According to Gump & Matthews (2000) and Hartig et al. (2013), the growing demands that people endure from their daily jobs to other responsibilities, there is very little time for them to fully recover.

Abstract

Lack of effective communication is one of the primary causes of failure in marriage. Communication is thus a key factor in a marriage’s success. Effective communication is especially important to how couples deal with and resolve conflicts. Although arguments and disagreements can be damaging to relationships, they can also be helpful to relationships by alerting couples to sources of unhappiness. The role of successful communication in conflict management and resolution can lead couples to correct negative behaviors and make positive changes that strengthen interpersonal bonds. Communication in a successful marriage is typically direct, or overt, rather than indirect, ...

Response to Posts

Response to Lusa’s Post I agree with Lusa’s post that a transition into parenthood is faced with a lot of issues that must be amicably addressed. The journey to becoming a couple and sustaining the marriage for a significant period is a great challenge that most people opt to avoid. According to the post, marriages in the current generation are subject to several issues including the socioeconomic status, age, and the self-sacrifices that couples have to endure. Therefore, it is true that most marriages experience a fall way before the advancement of marriages, and as such must ...

The ritual of marriage is a very important milestone in the life of an individual and, more so, in the life of an individual who is also a devout Christian. The Scripture often mentions the sanctity of marriage as well as the permanency of it in one’s life. Such descriptions have resulted in a dilemma for particular individuals who, for some unfortunate reason, have had to divorce and remarry. At present, Catholicism does not permit divorced individuals to remarry unless and until they have had their marriage annulled by the Church. While the Orthodox Catholic views on remarriage ...

Human Sexuality Behavior at the Nightclub

Introduction A night club is always composed of different individuals of different genders, ages, and even different sexual orientations. This is so in instances when one visits the club on a normal night when the club does not have the various shows, for example, the 80’s show or when somebody visits a gay or lesbian club, since the composition of the club on that particular day or time will not really have variety as desired by this research.

For years obtaining a marriage license was a requirement in order to say that your marriage was legal. In some states, there is a particular time frame in order to get your license before you marry or else you will have to delay the nuptials. However, each state has different requirements for couples wishing to be granted a marriage license. Marriage licenses are also used to prevent what the court considers to be inappropriate marriages. But after the U.S. Supreme Court made the decision to allow gay marriages to become legalized, some do not see the purpose of a ...

Introductory Remarks

At this point, it is no secret the American society shows a degree of tolerance lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered individuals never enjoyed in the 20th century. The question emerges of why it is that people have grown more tolerant towards and supportive of LGBT individuals. Media categories, such as television and films considered the carriers of culture, influence people’s perception, as does the culture itself shaping it. Thus, the way such phenomenon as same-sex relationships along with their participants are depicted in television and movies determines how tolerantly the society will perceive such people. The major research ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

Traditionalists are rather unwelcoming to the idea of same-sex marriages because it is deemed wrong for several reasons. First, there are raised religious issues that it has been forbidden by almost all the faith systems to carry out establishments of such sort of relationships; then there are raised social issues that question the effect of such actions on the wider society in the matter of shamefulness and the upbringing of children. Gay marriages have therefore been under the clouds with a lot of objection on its legitimacy. It is, however, worth noticing that there are more and more cases ...

Introduction

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is an excellent example of physiotherapy. Even though it has been applied in various contexts including family issues, the model was specifically designed to cure depression and other related illnesses (Spiegler, Guevremont & Spiegler, 2013). It has not been clear as to who came up with the model, however, the idea was conceived by stoic philosophers, as for that reason, the model is significantly attributed to stoicism.

I am writing to develop the importance of using meta-analysis in Christian counseling research. This email will outline the essence of the research technique by critically evaluating Michael McCullough’s article titled “Research on Religion-Accommodative Counseling: Review and Meta-Analysis”. The publication entails fives studies conducted using 111 respondents. The analysis identified that there was no particular evidence that indicated that the religion accommodating principles were less or more efficient that the standard counseling techniques. There is thus the need to utilize religion accommodating practices in future reviews (McCullough, 1999). Meta-analysis is essential in Christian counseling since both religion and ...

Cause and Effect of Divorce

People from all over the world get married so that they can depend on each other.

Abstract

Notably, interracial couples and their families have faced various challenges including rejection and being stereotyped. These challenges have resulted in increased trauma and developmental delays among interracial people. The most common misperception about interracial couples is that one partner is black while the other one is white. The rate at which interracial marriages are growing in the US has increased steadily. Considering that the United States legalized interracial marriages, a high growth rate in interracial marriage is a significant move. The demand for interracial counseling is expected to rise as the number of multicultural couples increase. Education of counselors ...

A marriage union is anchored on faithfulness and a promise to withhold the fidelity of the house to one partner for a lifetime. Society has always held that infidelity is a wrong thing if not hurtful to the people.

Gay Marriage and Three Sociological Perspectives

Some people living in the society are in the favor of gay marriages, while some people are against gay marriage as they consider that such types of marriages exert negative influence on the society.

Summary of Assumptions

Jessica Scott, Colleen Pyle, and Narissra Maria focus on an area that has not been penetrated by previous researchers. Past work addresses the utilization of nonverbal behaviors as a mechanism of formulating and sustaining stable relationships. In the authors’ study, they develop a new ideology that seeks to examine the correlations between long-lasting relationships and positive nonverbal behaviors. The researchers assess the overall satisfactions of partners in a relationship based on the availability of positive nonverbal cues. Scott et.al (2010) tests two essential variables, that is, overall satisfaction and relationship longevity, with respect to the use of the positive ...

The structural-functionalists theory holds that the family is the backbone of the society while the social conflict approach places the family at the center of operations in the community. The two approached concur that one of the fundamental functions of the family is the reproduction for the society to continue existing. In this regards, studying family calls for in-depth research on reproduction. For instance, the roles parents play in the reproduction shapes the perception the society develops towards men and women. For example, Hay (40) noted that modern day, mothers face two socially constructed cultural perceptions that the community ...

Introduction

For years, the average age that people get married has been on the rise. The aspect introduces the query of why individuals are willing to wait longer before tying the knot. The once great institutions of marriage, going to church, being a member of a political association have become hollow in the presence of today’s young adults. This essay attempts to outline the various factors that make the millennial generation unwilling to get married at an early or considerable age. The paper will conceptualize on three probable causes of the delayed marriages. They include the development of personal ...

In the 1940’s, scientists in Uganda discovered a breathtakingly beautiful forest on the edge of Lake Victoria, near Entebbe. The Zika Forest, originally spelled Ziika meaning “overgrown” in the local language, proved to be a valuable resource to virologists studying all varieties of disease (Kron, 2016). The Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) of Entebbe established a protection program for the forest in order to maintain a satellite location for extended research studies. Research here in 1947 revealed the first detection of its namesake, the Zika virus (Aggarwal et al, 2016). Initially isolated in a Rhesus monkey, the Zika ...

We have slowly and reluctantly accepted that the lives that we live on the internet are not just abstract rather; they hold meaning and sentiment for the most of us. We like to keep in touch with very close friends and even partners that we have become unfortunate enough to move away from, and we even find ourselves making new friends when online. So, since we have established and passed the responsibility over to the internet to take care of our emotional needs of this nature, we have also found that we can trust the same internet with the ...

The science-fiction authors are interested in writing about the robots which develop the ability to behave or think like the human being. Isaac Asimov and Brian Aldiss are two of these authors. These authors exaggerate the influence of the robotic contribution to the human life. Even, they try to develop the idea of replacing humans with the robots as relatives more than being a part of productions humans need. I will compare and contrast the two authors’ stories in this paper. The main subject I will discuss is the idea of robots can play an essential role in human ...
