Divorce has become a common occurrence in the society today, and many individuals who take the extreme step of divorcing appear to have lost sight of the values and the vows that are associated with the institution of marriage. Many parents with growing children at home opt for divorce without realizing the damaging effects their one-time decision may have on the lives of their children. Even though divorce may be a relief to both the partners in marriage who find no further meaning in living together, it definitely is a life-transforming experience to their innocent children. For instance, after ...

With ages, we start to realize all our mistakes and things which we thought were right in the past. Sometimes we can be selfish and ignore the fact of our wrong actions. Some people need to go through hard time and come to have an awareness of reality.

But there are many other things which are important too. And I ...

It can surely be said that the extract from the Bible called “The Sermon on the Mount” plays the role of ethical foundation for every Catholic Christian.

Although some people might find these rules too strict (for example, Christianity doesn’t allow a divorce), they can greatly increase the quality of human relationships once they ...

In his essay called “Christianity and the Survival of Creation”, Wendell Berry accuses Christian church of the insulting indifference that it expresses towards the whole world. While the church claims to be merciful and forgiving, it chooses to ignore all of the issues that are relevant for the modern society. Things like war, rape and murder the Church explains with the fact that God sends people obstacles that they are able to overcome. Instead of engaging into the fight with crime, the church hides behind the doctrine of acceptance. Berry is also outraged with the fact that Christians tried ...

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), around 40 to 50 percent of marriages in the United States end up in divorce.

An Open Letter to Marriage Savers

Marriage and family are the foundation of the society. While it is ideal for a family to be together, some marriages don’t end up successfully and ultimately ends up in a divorce.

It has been an issue of concern, especially so in the year 1970s until the early 1980s, when it reached its highest rate. Thankfully, records today show that its number has considerably decreased over the years, and has not increased since then. It is encouraging to know that people ...

Gender roles have undergone dramatic changes in modern China during the 20th century, particularly since the rise of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. There are three main ancient philosophies that have substantially influenced and deeply rooted in China for a long time. They are Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Among three philosophies, I believe Confucianism has influenced China the most and still have a lot of remains when closely looking at every aspect of the Chinese culture.

The idea that humanity can be sure of the knowledge that it has is generally taken for granted. Skeptics have pointed out that it is, in fact, impossible to know reality in any significant way and be relatively sure that this knowledge is legitimate. Since this argument was made, philosophers have attempted to overcome the need to establish some basis for knowledge that they could be sure of. While those such as Descartes used pure reason in order to come to some basic conception of reality, thinkers such as Locke and Kant focused primarily on empirical knowledge in order ...

The suffrage movement was a decade’s long battle and a tenacious often unpopular political movement that permanently altered the social and political ...

For a long time the ideal family resembled something out of “Leave it to Beaver”. The mother was in the home, baking homemade goodies and awaiting the father’s return from a hard day. Women were expected to reproduce. Children played outside, and never dared question their parents. If an accidental pregnancy happened outside of wedlock the girl was sent away to have it, or she and the father were forced to marry. Teenaged girls were more likely to get pregnant, despite the stigma that would be placed upon her. This is a far cry from the modern family, ...

Marriage vs. Military Service Member

Military service is typical in the current world, where crimes and terror attacks have increased. Some of the servicemen may be involved in battles for long durations, leaving their families worried about their safety in the war. Married people who go out to war leaving their partners and kids at home are not settled because they are always thinking about the welfare of the family.

The internet bridged connections between people, business, organizations, and countries. It is a key element when it comes to relationships and branding either individually or a group.

Marriage in the Catholic Church has for a long time been considered a holy and sacred covenant that is made between two people in the presence of the Lord. This covenant establishes a partnership between a man and a woman, which is supposed to last for a lifetime.

Marriage can be seen as a social, cultural, and religious ceremony, but it also serves as a way to promote social order. Not only does the institution of marriage promote a stable family environment, but it lays the framework for what practices are acceptable within society as a whole. Not every relationship is consummated by marriage and not every marriage provides the support it is intended to, but both circumstances come with positive and negative consequences for adults and children. It is no surprise that today “most modern families take one of two forms: nuclear ...

Falling in love can be just as powerful as sniffing a line of cocaine. In fact, studies have shown that the effect cocaine has on the brain sometimes provokes similar chemical reactions as those caused by the feeling of being in love. However, despite love sometimes being classified as a natural stimulant, it could also be harmful to human health in certain situations. And given such similarities, the neural enhancement of both these stimulants should be taken both cautiously and seriously. In the scientific and common literature, love is almost always regarded as being a benefit to a person's ...

Introduction

Old age marks the end of the human life cycle and involves surpassing or nearing the set life expectancy of people. Most states have set the life expectancy of persons to be between 60 and 65 years, and this marks the termination of many life cycles. At this particular stage, we have reduced regenerative abilities as opposed to young people. Our bodies have the capacity to dispose and destroy worn out cells at a faster rate, but this is not the case in the old age where all life processes have ultimately slowed down. Bronfenbrenner, suggests that our environment ...

Gender inequality is more prevalent in some societies than it is in others. The Muslim community has been on the frontline of gender inequality with most women being subjected to ...

DISSERTATION CONCLUSION

Introduction We live in a social set up that has revolutionized the way people and citizens of any country are governed by a set of written laws, perceived norms and acceptable culture. A breach of the laws, perceptions and norms of any cultural set up causes outcry for justice for the victims and punishment for the offenders. In medieval times, most such offenses would have invited an execution: there were no police and children witnesses execution to impart the consequences of crime. However, given the development of societal views on negative punishment that only propagates more violence, the systems ...
