The most consistent data on infidelity drives from the General Social Survey which sponsored by the National Science Foundation to track the opinions of Americans about social behaviors since 1972. The survey data shows that in any given year, about 10% of married couples (12% men and 7% of women) have engaged in sex outside their marriage.

...Divorce: Cause and Effect Essay Keecha Parker December 11, 2011 Introduction In this day and age divorce is occurring rapidly. From researching divorce statistics at least 50% of marriages will end in divorce if the current trends continue. Divorce simply means separation; disunion of things closely united according to the Accurate and Reliable Dictionary. Divorce can be a cause and effect therefore, throughout the paper the three causes will be explained and three effects will follow. Three Main Points From the research not all marriages fail for the same reasons one of the causes of divorce are communications problems. This may occur before the couple come together as one. Couples don’t communicate because of pressing issues that each individual may be experiencing or if the expectations was not clear from the beginning of the relationship. Also, talking about your feelings in a marriage is important because then you can figure out exactly how to improve in a relationship but if they are not discussed than this to can fail a marriage. Also, if a couple does not communicate pre-marital issues before tying the knot then they will realize during the marriage things should have been set before. Therefore, these issues can get worst during the marriage. Financial issues are a huge reason divorces occur often. In marriages financial hardships hurts marriages because of unemployement, uncertainty, unequal financial position, and excessive spending. With each of these factors...

...The Legal Wives: Coping Strategies towards their Husbands’ Infidelity By: Arceo, S.L., Alamarez, A.B., Villena, J. & Yalung, C. Thesis Adviser: Ms. Editha Galura The aim of this study is to describe and identify the most common types of coping strategy used by wives who were affected by the infidelity of their partner. It also sought to provide demographic profiles of these wives. The researchers’ motivation of choosing this topic had been influenced by the everyday situation of people they knew who had experienced being separated to their husbands due to infidelity. Also, the media had contributed to their choice because nowadays, infidelity has been featured to many movies, television shows and social media sites. In this study, the researchers have employed a descriptive design. The participants involved in this research were 40 wives, age ranging from 25 to 65 years old and coming from different cities and towns of Pampanga, who have experienced infidelity of their husbands. Their sample was gathered through snowball sampling. For their theoretical framework, the researchers used the Lazarus model of stress and model of behavioral self-regulation. To quantify it, they used the Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE) inventory of Carver, Scheier, and Weintraub (1989). With the help of a professor, they have translated the inventory for their Filipino participants. They have also developed a demographic profile checklist. There were five variables in the...

...Hope After Marital Infidelity Bridget McCarthy Liberty University Abstract This research paper touches on the red flags and precursors to marital infidelity. Exploring how factors such as family of origin and faulty thinking can be the breeding grounds for a future adulterer. Also, included is the favorable possibility of restoration and renewal built on the truth of God, despite the world’s inclination toward marital suicide. Introduction Marital infidelity can be one of the most heart wrenching experiences, sometimes leaving the betrayed in a state of hopelessness. It can bring about mental illness, depression and/or suicidal thoughts. A marriage can be restored if both pursue dealing with the red flags that were present before the marriage bed was defiled. Both need to look into the conflicts they both contend with, individually and together. Marital infidelity is a consequence of unresolved struggles. The affair door is left open to deal with conflicts in the fantasy that the grass is always greener on the other side. A couple can become healthy again if they understand the root of their discontent, replacing lies they have come to believe with devotion and commitment; seeing their spouse with understanding and forgiveness. This can allow the relationship to be a place of emotional safety. And, they can reap the benefits of that foundational trust. Pre-Affair No one couple is exempt from experiencing marital infidelity. It is estimated that roughly 30...

...King Lear Research Paper Shakespeare’s play, King Lear, characterizes the archetypes ‘good’ and ‘evil’ as good being loyal and bad being disloyal. In all Shakespearean tragedies, there is a series of events with a common theme that lead to the chaos of the plot: here, the theme is fidelity versus infidelity (Bonheim 39). King Lear highlights this theme mainly through familial and hierarchical relationships. The tragedy’s large cast of characters is divided into the archetypal categories of ‘good’ and ‘bad’, which are essentially determined by their faithful or unfaithful actions towards their family and kingdom. In their somewhat parallel lives, King Lear and Gloucester are driven to despair and madness by their familial relationships. Sibling rivalry, betrayal of fathers by daughters and by son and rash misunderstandings of a loyal son and a dutiful daughter, are the roots of chaos in the play (Bloom 15). King Lear and Gloucester’s downfalls are essentially caused by the ‘bad’ child’s betrayal and later resolved by the ‘good’ child’s help and support. Shakespeare introduced Cordelia as caring and loyal daughter, who is profoundly devoted to family (Bonheim 41). When it is her turn to publically confess her love for Lear, she explains in her own defense: “Why have my sisters husbands, if they say They love you all? Haply when I shall wed, That lord whose had must take my plight shall carry Half my love with him, half my care and duty. Sure I shall never marry like...

... Don Dwight The last research paper that I wrote was about divorce, and the reasons behind divorce. I found this topic very relevant; in the world we live in today many married couples rapidly have found themselves turning to divorce as an answer. Finishing the fairy tale they had once fantasized. Moreover, there are certain well- known reasons that put people at higher risk for divorce and these are lack of commitment between the couples, marriage at a very early age, Infidelity, alcohol addiction, and physical abuse, and even financial problems. In my paper I used many resources, including online references, blogs, books, and articles. I also used reliable references when appropriate. Quoted my references and included a bibliography to strengthen my essay. I started off my paper with some background information about divorce general knowledge and basic points. I wrote my thesis statement and branched off with my main ideas. I went to elaborate my main ideas making sure to use supporting ideas and details. I also used various statistics, facts, and figures to support and toughen my points and restated my thesis into my conclusion to summarize my research paper. If I were to rewrite this paper now I would have searched more theories that have been shaped and assessed to determine if they apply to the recent rise in divorce...

...The Effects of Watching Anime to Its Viewers A Research Paper Presented to Mrs. Julie Ann A. Ilagan Sta. Teresa College In Partial Fulfilment Of the Requirement For Research By: Karla A. Lara Angelica Lhane P. Guia Ma. Jeanette Contreras Arleigh Trisha Daniel Macarandang IV – St. Matthew Chapter II This chapter includes reviewed literature and studies that would lead the researchers to better understand the proposition and gain knowledge and data needed in this study. A. Review of Related Literature This part states topics connected to the statements included in the previous chapter. Several sources and references are used by the researchers in gathering more information and for the further integration of the proposition of this study. According to "JAPANESE ANIMATION PAGE (THEATRICAL & TV)", Anime Fandom was originated in Los Angeles in 1997. There are five types of anime, the Shonen, Shoujo, Seinen, Josei and Kodomomuke. They are not genres; rather they are labels which focus on a specific target demographic/intended audience. The first type, Shonen typically aimed to young boys under the age of fifteen. A lot of these anime have a young male hero and are commonly focused on action, adventure and fighting. Second is Seinen which are intended to young men between the ages of 15-24. This type of anime tends to be of a more violent and/or psychological in nature, though there are Seinen comedies as well. The third is Shojou anime. It is the female counterpart to Shonen which...

...particular MBAs seem to repeatedly come out at the top of the cheating pile. A reason for this is the business field perhaps has a reputation — particularly business of the pre-financial crisis era — to focus on the bottom line and not the process. Therefore, gaining a degree is about the piece of paper at the end, not about the learning process and skills gained along the way. Social pressure? Similarly, while parents wanting their children to be a success, is a good thing, it can become pressure to get that success at any cost. The accolade is more important than how you got there. This is also about students today being more externally motivated (degree gets you a job; a means to an end) rather than internally motivated (degree is knowledge and self-development). As with employee motivation theories, externally motivated students have little loyalty to the institution or the teachers and only surface interest in the academic knowledge itself. Normalisation of deception? Another important issue is the ‘normalising’ of cheating behaviour. Small acts of cheating are committed by our peers in every day life to get movies and music; in countless celebrity reports of infidelity and even committed by institutions and government representatives. Cheating therefore can in some contexts be justified as ‘necessary’, ‘unavoidable’ or perhaps ‘doing what it takes’. All these...

...Marriage and Relationships of Today Helen Tish Taylor FSCJ Marriage and Divorce Relationships are what make up our world today, they shape the way we see things and the way we do things. Marriage is one of the most important relationships we will ever experience, unfortunately over half of us that marry will divorce. This is a sad but true fact. The most confronting part of marriage for myself is the fact that you are promising something you don’t know if you can deliver, but if you were to vow “ I will be with you until it doesn’t work anymore” that wouldn’t be a promise- it would be a statement of fact. When you commit to something beyond what you know you can do “I will be with you always” you are calling on yourself to be great. You are trying to make all the inconsistencies and complexities of marriage become reality. The books I have selected for my annotated bibliography all offer something to help the reader attain this goal of helping a marriage not just survive in today’s society but thrive and grow. Marriage and Relationships of Today Bernstein, J., & Magee, S. (2008). Why can’t you read my mind? Da Capo Press Bernstein, a psychologist specializing in couples and family therapy, and Magee (The Power of Positive Confrontation) offer marital partners a way to renew the spark in their relationships in this self help guide. They claim that one of the most significant steps is to focus on yourself rather than your partner by ridding yourself of toxic thoughts...

...CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Related Literature A. Foreign Literature Springer (2011) mentioned that sexuality research is an international forum for the publication of original peer-reviewed state-of-the-art empirical research on sexuality, theoretical and methodological discussions, and the implications of this evidence for policies across the globe regarding sexual health, sexuality education, and sexual rights in diverse communities. This multidisciplinary journal also publishes brief research and conference reports; white papers; book, film, and other reviews; together with guest editorials and commentaries. In addition, Sexuality Research occasionally publishes special issues on timely topics. There are evolutionary psychologists who had argued that same-sex attraction does not have adaptive value because it has no association with potential reproductive success. Instead, bisexuality can be due to normal variation in brain plasticity. In the past few years, it has been suggested that same-sex alliances may have helped males climb the social hierarchy giving access to females and reproductive opportunities. Same-sex allies could have helped females to move to the safer and resource richer center of the group, which increased their chances of raising their offspring successfully. Driscoll (2002) stated that homosexual and bisexual behavior is quite common in several species and that it fosters bonding: "The more homosexuality, the...
