Today, we often are bombarded with upsetting stories of violence and politics happening throughout the world on the internet, our daily televised news stations, the radio, and in newspapers and articles that we read. In the book Half the Sky, written by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, true stories regarding the horrific reality young girls and women are faced with in underprivileged countries across the world are brought to its reader’s attention. Although these stories are not the easiest to read, emotionally, what is inspiring is the work of organizations dedicated to helping these young girls and women. The book includes a number of organizations focused in aiding females in these parts of the world. There were two specific organizations that stood out to me while reading Half the Sky, as their mission has been successful in providing medical care to girls and women who have endured suffering related to sexual violence and inadequate maternal care. The Edna Adan Maternity Hospital and HEAL Africa charitable organizations have taken great strides in providing the necessary services to help girls and women recover; ultimately saving their life. (Please note: According to Half the Sky, it is the Edna Adan Maternity Hospital, however, according the organizations website, (www.ednahospital.org), the name is Edna Adan University Hospital. For this essay, I will be using the name as referenced in Half the Sky.)…

Marriage is an age old legal act of uniting a couple formally and publically forever. Furthermore, it is a central part of the world’s culture to at least some degree. As a result, there have been many reality TV shows documenting this grandiose event, such as Say Yes to the Dress, 90 Day Fiancé, and Married by Mom and Dad. These reality TV shows often carry a certain amount of social stigma, especially when regarding gender roles. A wedding reality TV show that particularly stands out in this situation is Bridezillas. The show is about how brides-to-be deal with wedding preparations and the wedding party. They are often depicted as selfish and controlling and generally throw a tantrum or…

Although these could very well be the motives of some, not all international or mail order brides marry for these reasons.…

In recent years, marriage has taken on a variety of definitions. In a majority of societies a marriage is no longer just between a man and a woman. As society has evolved so has the institution of marriage and anything associated with it.
