    The articles I read cover the effects of race and economic areas on marriage rates and marriage decline. In the first article, Ecological Areas and Marriage Rates, author James Bossard discusses how the economic prosperity of areas in a city has an influence on marriage rates. In his 1928 study, Bossard conducted research on 20,000 married men throughout different parts of Philadelphia, which was the US’s 3rd largest city at the time. Data was collected from the Philadelphia Marriage License Bureau and nearby bureaus. The rates were calculated by the amount of men who were married during the study per 1,000 men who were single, widowed, or divorced in the area. An important factor taken into account was age difference. Findings showed that…

    Cultural appropriation describes the adoption of specific aspects of a culture that is are not our own, this becomes evident when a dominant group adopts elements from minority group. Adopting elements of different cultures is a consequence of the interaction of diverse groups indicating that a society is embracing change therefore becoming diverse. However, where do we draw the line between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation, is it considered respect for other cultures or the exploitation of a culture. This is considered an issue because some see it as a form of aggression that diminishes a value of an entire culture. There are many examples in modern culture and mass media concerning cultural appropriation.…

    Why does a society require truth to function well? Truth is not always easy to find. Likewise in the medieval period, truth was overpowered by corruption. Similarly in the literature of the mediaeval period, Piers Plowman, The Canterbury Tales and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, one can find some examples of truth overpowered by corruption. Therefore, truth is concealed by falsehood and is only reveled through the words of the authors of these works.…

    The perspective on race is changing rapidly right before our eyes. Intermarriages are becoming more popular and very common to see on an everyday basis, but no time soon will this eliminate race as a whole, “Five hundred years from now, unless human societies undergo drastic changes, Asians, Africans, and Europeans will be physically distinguishable.” (Olson p.260) The people of this world will always look different from one another, nothing can change that, but the mixing of these people is doing something much more powerful. Socially, intermarriage has created an idea that you can designate your own race based on the individuals’ personality because with the different races merged together, who is to determine what race you really are.”Joshua Goldstein calculated that about 20 percent of Americans are already in extended families with someone from a different racial group.” (Olson p.252) Many people don’t realize that they are already mixed and have family members of different ethnic background.”The logical endpoint of this perspective is a world in which people are free to choose their ethnicity regardless of their ancestry.” (Olson p.261) People should have the right to pronounce themselves in any ethnicity that is most closely related to how they perceive themselves. The people of Hawaii are moving beyond concepts of race and the rest of the world is soon to follow. “Many prospective students at the University of Hawaii simply mark “mixed” in describing…
