After finishing reading both articles I was very surprised by the different perspectives that other cultures have for marriage. Although I now understand the reasoning behind why I still could never participate in this form of marriage. In modern day America a relationship like this one would cause extreme jealousy and distrust between partners, but in a society such as the indigenous peoples of Tibet it would be more ideal to have a polyandry to limit population growth. By limiting their population growth the indigenous peoples of Tibet have been able to subsist on their land longer than they would have if they were monogamous. The land that they live on is high enough that it limits many areas for agriculture as well as arid because it does not receive enough rain. As the younger brother in my family I definitely would not be able to be participate in this knowing that I would not be able to decide my own finances since I am the youngest. However the benefits of having more resources for future offspring does make a good argument. If I was living with the indigenous people in the mountains of Tibet then I believe that this would have been the most logical form of marriage. However the drawbacks for younger siblings has been causing some to disband from the family and start their own farms. In modern day America I believe that this type of marital system would be discouraged. Although it may have been seen as necessary in their culture it is considered unnecessary and repulsive in ours. In American culture there would not be a need for brothers to share a wife because our land is not substantially limited compared to the indigenous of Tibet. In America, a monogamous family would benefit more because it would eventually increase wealth further than polyandry because of the numbers of offspring. A polyandry family would be shunned by the rest of the American society around them because they would be considered abstract. Although polygamy is more common I would not want to participate in that either because it would definitely eventually lead to jealously between the partners.
