i saw it on the news or something too lazy to look up the actual numbers but anyway.. the divorce rate has increaed substanityally over the past decades due to several theorized possibilites. two examples: increasing independance of woman with womens' rights and more reliable birth control and abortion.
i think society has become a superficial crack pot of drugs sex and money. then again thats my answer for most things. what do you think? |

Oh, I forgot to comment on the
QUOTE increasing independance of woman with womens' rights and more reliable birth control and abortion. I'd like to know how increased independence of women has led to higher divorce rates? Is it because women are working now? Or is it that women are allowed to choose their husbands instead of being forced to love someone they don't. That's preposterous to use as a reason of increased divorce rates, when clearly women's rights has mostly helped society grow and become more tolerant of others. As for the abortion and birth control, what the hell? How is that in correlation to divorce besides sometimes having a child unhappily binds two people together. Children should never be a resolution to a failing marriage. It only makes the child and the two parents unhappy in the long run. My step-cousin is a good example. These reasons are only a cover-up to the real problem. The real problem is, people are unhappy! They don't know what they want and issues such as these are taking the blame for it. Seriously, world, own up to yourselves. |

Seriously, world, own up to yourselves. I think people want to remain ignorant. It eliminates the threat of others questioning their actions/thoughts(god forbid you stand up for what you believe!) and creates a cozy cocoon for their lives to squeeze in. It's like some people are so afraid of stepping out of the norm that they accept unhappiness. |
