...amount of time. Study has shown that only 1 in 3 men participate in regular exercise and this is because they either, don't have enough time, due to family and time constraints, they either don't have enough money or they're too out of shape. This seems the be the problem with single and married men across the world. (Lee & Cloutier Laffrey, 2008) did a study in 2008 that consisted of 137 men. 47% of men were married and the others were currently not in a relationship. The study had proven that 10% stated that they did not engage in any physical activity and 23% did not meet the recommended level of 30 minutes of moderate exercise. This study had also proven that single men exercised more than the married men, this is because of Family Demands, such as children, time constraints and mainly a lack of motivation. (Lee, Y. & Cloutier Laffrey) also agree with (Dowda, Ainsworth, Addy, Saunders, & Riner, 2003) that men with education and are not married were associated with higher levels of vigorous physical activity due to more time and less excuses. For married men, having smaller families and not being employed were also associated with greater activity levels. It is clear that married men have less time to exercise due to the high demands of the family life. Having to look after children, working long hours and being tired...

...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...

...them. It involves an interpretive, naturalistic approach to its subject matter and gives the priority to what the data contribute to important research questions and previously existing information (Denzin, 1994). This report will examine the reasons for why women may or may not participate in leisure activities. Through examining results from the study that was undertaken, we will be able to determine whether being married women has a positive or negative effect on physical activity compared to that of a single women. Those who participate in sport, recreation and physical activity are generally healthier, more confident and feel better than those who don’t (DSR, 2006). However, data from the Australian Longitudinal Study or Women’s Health indicate that younger women (aged 18-22) with children are far more unlikely to participate in physical activity compared to middle aged women (30-34) (Brown, 2002). With constant advertisements, government campaigns and gym’s urging citizens to do more physical activity, it is difficult to determine why these single or married women are not participating in sport however studies conducted at Griffith University have shown that the three main factors behind women not participating in sport are; a lack of free time, a lack of financial stability and a general lack of motivation. They study demonstrated that the women which had undertaken the survey exhausted a lot of excuses, however amongst the many excuses given, for...

...philosopher. Of Marriage and Single Life analyzes and compares marriage with single life in different aspects, such as characters, public service and personal qualities. The essay depicts the benefits and the drawbacks of life as a single male and a married male possibly with children. Bacon explains that marriage is good for the individual but also for society. He also states that wife and children are a liability and only take back from obtaining wealth. A single man believes that a man with wife and children, who are obstacles to both great courses and little trivial, is the slave of fortune. Bacon presents the merits and demerits of married life and single life in his essay, “Of Marriage and Single Life” According to the essay children are the bills of charges and will reduce their riches. And beyond that being single means that you are free, but having a wife and children are reasons you a man is shackled. However, a single life has some good aspects. “Unmarried men are best friends, best masters, and best servants. In this portion of the essay, Bacon boasts about the fact that a free man gives back to society in a sense. He states that when you don’t have children and a wife to look after you have more time to give back to your community. This is simple logic that expresses what kind of write Bacon was. He states that without the distraction of both wife and children a man can be who he wants to be also he can be a better man. Married men are busy supporting a family...

...Single stereotypes have been identified for several decades since Duberman (1975) and Stain (1976) found that people viewed singles as less desirable and less natural than people who are married. Since then, the population of singles in the U.S. has increased dramatically (U.S. Census Bureau, 1970-2002). In 1970, single adults comprised about 28% of the adult population; however in 2014, according to the dataset of America's Families and Living Arrangements, the percentage of single adults among the general adult population had increased to 38%. As the population of singles has become larger, one might expect that certain stereotypes towards singles might have changed from the 1970s. However, a recent study (Hertel et al., 2007) indicated that...

...instructor, Mr Abdus Selim for his valuable guidance, support, instructions and all out cooperation in writing the research paper. Abstract This research paper is on the topic “Bachelorhood vs. Marriage”. Marriage has been a usual norm through centuries. It is a bonding that binds a man and a woman towards a new relationship with the aim of sharing responsibilities, happiness and sorrows till the day they die. It has been a normal phenomenon in the society which recently has been faced by some changes from the new generation. On the other hand, bachelorhood is a state where a man/woman is not married or not in a pair bond. It includes men/women who lives independently, outside of their parents’ home and other institutional settings who are not engaged in a bond of marriage. Through this research, I wanted to find out whether the upcoming generation is in for marriage or in favour of staying single throughout their whole life. My hypothesis was staying bachelor rather than getting involved in matrimonial relationship will eliminate many societal problems like divorce, frustration, suicide etc. However, I also expected to find out what a matrimonial relationship means to the upcoming generation and some reasons through which I can prove my hypothesis to be...

...University only 70-75% of African American women expects to get married whereas 91% of Caucasian women in a lifetime. The most cited reason for delaying marriage by women is that it is not affordable which leads to declining of marriage and increase in poverty. According to George Mason University most couples come out ahead after marriage simply by cutting the total house expense such as one home, one insurance, one grocery list all because it is a combined effort and the couple’s income naturally increases. Education, experience, and sometime race account hugely when it comes to earnings. Basically, it is said that married men earn 40% more than single but on the other hand married women can earn approximately 10% less than a single women. Hence the reason why the marriage rates dwindle among the poor simply because of not having the ability to reach the high standards of quality living, financial stability and simply going by what is to be expected be in place for a single person’s life prior to marriage. According to the Center for Research on Child Well-Being at Princeton University a Fragile Families Survey indicated unmarried fathers were twice as likely as a married one to have physical or psychological problems that interfere with the ability to keep the job and more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. More than 25% of unmarried fathers were not employed when their child was born compared to fewer than 10% of married fathers. Whereas women’s wages have increased so it is...
