...moreover about sex. In Indonesia sex was taboo. As time pass by, Indonesia becoming a developing country. Which means it has to be more global so it can compete with other countries. By entering the globalization era, Indonesia enters a completely different world. It has to adjust its culture in a lot of aspects, such as language, education, entertainment, etc. Of course there's price to pay for a more modern country. Not only influenced by the good things, but also the bad things. The one example that we will discuss is about sex. Nowadays, people are becoming very familiar with the term sex. Most of people already understand what it is and what it is for. Which is good, but now the problem is, people start to have sex before they get married. We know that western culture allows sex before marriage. Not only that, 98% people there lost their virginity when they are around 15-17. For them, it is almost weird when somebody is still a virgin when they are in college. Which is very contradictory with Indonesian's culture that forbids sex before marriage. Why does that happen? From our observation, we can conclude some reasons that will be discussed in the following chapter. One of the article on the internet say that in Indonesia, 39 percent of respondent at the age around 15 – 19 already had sex, the rest 61% is the respondent at the age of 20-25. It is a very...

...42, Michele, 24, and Edward, 21. The first group of people interviewed was a 44-year-old woman name Mary and 42-year-old Larry. Mary was born in 1970 and grew up in the 90’s. Larry was born in 1972 and also grew up in the same time period. The societies were totally different then than it is now. Getting married at a young age was unheard of in that era. The people that were married were at least 30-40 years old. Society wasn’t much different from what it is now. People were hooking up with each other back then just like they are now. Society is pretty much the same but the only thing that really changed is the technology we have now and the different social medias. Marriage for Mary was highly unlikely because she didn’t find anyone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. But for Larry he always wanted to get married one day, but just didn’t know exactly when. She didn’t really expect to have children nor did Larry but when they did it was the happiest day of their life. She said “God bless me with not one, but two, and twins at that”, and Larry felt the same way. When the children were born Larry took care of her financially until she was healthy enough to get back to work. They split the parenting up and both of...

...Most people used to get married all the time, but it seems as if today a huge number of people prefer to stay single than to be married. They each have their pros and cons at times, and they’re different mindsets. I interviewed a married couple I have been close to for several years, and I also interviewed by two best friends who are single. After my research, I have compared and contrasted what I learned about being single and being married. One thing I learned from my interview is responsibility, and how huge of a difference it is in single and married life. Married people are responsible for their husband/wife, while single people are responsible for themselves. Single people want to live their life through the motions and take it as an adventure, explore new things, see new places; but it’s hard for married people to do that. While married people are constantly thinking of their partner, or their children, single people only think of themselves. Life can be easy for single people, but it can be, at times, complicated for married people. But, in my opinion, married people are more responsible than the single people I talked too. Some of the things the married couple I sat down and talked with named a few things that have to do with responsibility: constantly having to manage their money, shop/cook/clean, guiding their family in a Godly manner and raising their children up the right way, spend time with their children, and also make sure to spend...

...spread of ideas of how and why the statistics show that. Feminists object to any barriers to divorce for women, and believe that women do not need to marry or live with a man. This is because women do not have the expressive role anymore as women are free to get any career they want and have an instrumental role, meaning they are able to support themselves finically. This is one of the reasons for change in the patterns of marriage, cohabitation and divorce because women don’t need to marry or live with a male partner anymore as they have finical stability and don’t need to rely on anyone else. Cohabitation is becoming more common according to statistics. This may be because of secularisation meaning people don’t really have religious beliefs anymore so they don't feel the need to get married. Another reason for cohabitation becoming more common in modern society is because of the cost is too high for marriage, and people are choosing to wait until they are older to get married, because they want to get a career before hand. Statistics show that marriage rates are increasing dramatically, and the main reasons for this is because of remarriages and the legal gay marriage act. The fact that people are getting re married shows that people still value the idea of marriage as it gives stability within families/relationships....

...different relationships I have seen these are the things that make a long lasting marriage. To have a lasting marriage the couple needs to feel that marriage is something sacred they also have to stop thinking of marriage as a temporary relationship status. Marriage is a contract between two people to unite assets; in some cultures marriage is for life and in others marriage will only last for as long as it is beneficial to both parties concerned. The seriousness of a marriage depends on how the married value the term, or status the term marriage brings them. The modern notion is that a marriage is for happiness and it should only last until you are discontent with the relationship. I have seen this countless times with the men in my family. They are happy and start families and as soon as they go through a rough patch it is time for a divorce because marriage is not enforces or imposed as something sacred or of value. In other families once your married you’re stuck that way until you...

...Some of the well known Shakespearian plays that have been made modern, enjoyable movies are; She’s the Man based on the play Twelfth Night, The Lion King based on the story of Hamlet, 10 Things I Hate About You storyline of The Taming Of The Shrew and many more modern twists and interpretations. How many of these do you know? She’s The Man is about a girl named Viola who dresses up as her brother (Sebastian) and goes to his College and pretends to be him while he goes away. Viola ends up liking her brothers roommate (Duke) who thinks she’s Sebastian. Duke likes another girl (Olivia), but Olivia likes Sebastian (Viola). When Viola’s brother comes home early, disaster strikes and shock is sent all around. Yes I'm confused too! Now don't go thinking this was original. NO! This is a modern take on an old classic of Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night has the same plot or storyline as She’s the Man, and even includes some of the same names as shown in the movie such as Viola and Duke....

...A big issue in today's society is gay marriage, and whether or not it should be legalized. I personally think it should be because it doesn't affect society, and if two people love each other why shouldn't they be able to get married. I don't understand what the big deal is, if you don't support it, you don't have too but it shouldn't really effect those people, it should only effect the people that are gay or support the cause. Many people don't see the good in legalizing gay marriage such as adopting children, when couples are married it is easier for them to adopt children, so you can give thousands of children a better home. If this issue was reversed, and we were fighting for the legalization of heterosexual marriages, how would all the non-supports of gay marriage feel? Society isn't effected by two people getting married, if it was then marriage in general would probably not even exist if it caused that many issues. Not only is society not effect, no one else is for that matter. “A marriage is a relationship between two people. How does it hurt society or people not involved in the marriage? It is a personal commitment that really is no one else's business. Society shouldn't be dictating what two people can or can't do when no one else is hurt in the process. If the church or certain groups disapprove, that's their right, but it isn't their right to stop it”(Messerli). Marriage is a good thing, and it will benefit gay families, and their children without causing harm...

...Marriage is not easy. Unfortunately, even couples with the best intentions can end up in divorce court. There are a number of reasons people get divorced; the following are ten of the most common. Top 10 Reasons Couples DivorceExtramarital AffairsAccording to a report published by AARP, infidelity still plays a significant role in why people file for divorce. However, usually there is an underlying reason that causes a spouse to cheat including anger, resentment, having varied interests, growing apart, or unequal sexual appetites. Weight GainSurprisingly enough, "forever after" often comes with the caveat "as long as you maintain your figure." According to a survey reported by Men's Health, one spouse gaining substantial amounts of weight can be a damper on marital bliss. Once your spouse is no longer turned on or attracted to your body, issues dealing with rejection and resentment can quickly become marriage-threatening issues. MoneyThe American Journal of Sociology recently published a study that found a husband's unemployment can be a key factor behind divorce. In fact, lack of moneycan often cause marital problems to flare into a divorce filing. A married couple facing financial difficulties is often under a lot of stress, which in turn can lead to constant arguing and lack of communications. Couples who don't see eye to eye on spending habits or that are in relationships where one spouse has and controls the finances, often face marital strain that culminates in...

...divorce, in this essay I will be talking about the different religions and what they teach. Christians don’t agree with divorce, they think that a couple, once married should spend the rest of their lives together because they made a vow in front of their God. When a couple gets married in a church they make a vow before God “till death do us part.”This is means the couple agree to live together for the rest of their lives no matter what happens. Christianity also teaches that marriage is a covenant agreement, meant for life, therefore it must not be broken under any circumstance; remarriage further violates the covenant and therefore is not permissible. Even though Christians believe that divorce is not what God wants and should be avoided, some Christians cannot cope with marriage, so they divorce. They may not be able to cope because their partner may not be part of the same faith or the one of the couple has committed adultery. In some situations even though divorce is not God's desire, is sometimes the only alternative when all else has failed. The divorced person must remain unmarried for life thereafter or they will be committing adultery. "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery." (Matt. 5:32) This means that if a couple gets divorced they should stay unmarried, remarrying someone...

...Trans-genders in the Military As time continues, things that we found unusual and unrealistic have become normal and not such a burden to us. The military has been a key role on moving forward with many of these hush hush discussions many try to sweep under the rug. Now that the military is allowing openly gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual personnel into the military, there should be no reason for them to discriminate on trans-gender personnel who are trying to serve their country. In order for us to go forward with my statement I need you all to be opened minded. We all have an opinion but in the end it’s up to us to make the change for our future. The Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) era was a time when homosexuals where not allowed to be who they where without getting in trouble. The term was coined after President Bill Clinton in 1993 signed a law (consisting of statue, regulations, and policy memoranda) directing that military personal could not openly be a homosexual in the military (Britannica, 2015). In order for Clinton to win his seat in the white House he needed his sponsors to support him and having openly gays in the military was not something they wanted. Even though Clinton was for it he had to satisfy his supporters. After many discussions and fights back and forth Clinton finally came to an agreement that homosexuals could join the military but not be opened about it. Many officers were overwhelmingly opposed to that approach, fearing that the mere presence of homosexuals...

Trump has many ideas to keep immigrants out of this country like to build borders and to end birthright citizenship. Many families leave their home country to come to America for a better life just like my family did. My family and I were born in Mexico. My parents knew staying in Mexico wasn’t the best for us so we came to America when I was 2. We didn’t get documented until 7 years ago. As of right now, there are limited ways to becoming a resident or a citizen of America but there should be more because families grow and should have more ways of staying here with them....
