In the Black Mirror episode “Hang the DJ”, there actually is not much science involved. The bulk of the wonders in the episode are more of psychological and economic matters. How is it that the government can put these houses out for people to stay varying times for free and without these people having jobs? Also, how is it that people would remain sane after all of the emotional trauma that would occur? Would hoeing around be worth the little bit of your life that you actually end up spending with “The One”? Psychologically speaking, such strenuous attempts to find someone to spend your life with could be detrimental to your optimism on companionship. Not only could it ruin your want for companionship, but it could also ruin your will to live. It is by law to go out with person to person thats assigned to you and you have no choice. It is in a random …show more content…
In basic human nature, when they are forced to do something, they tend to not want to do it and often rebel against those who force it. Many laws are very simple and are almost nonexistent because of how easy it is to follow them. However, due to the fact that it is something that is trying to be pressed upon them without their approval, they rebel. Even despite the rebellion that would be caused, none of the relationships would be organic. Like the rules, these relationships being forced is what ruins them. In many countries, people hate marriage because they are set up with a random person by their parents. Likewise, this would be the case here. Not only would the relationships be ruined by being forced, but they would lack the basic “glue” that holds relationships together. A bond. Without a bond, there cannot be love, affection, or any sense of trust or loyalty. You could not communicate or rely on the other effectively. In no way would a law forcing to you hoe around to find “the one” work. It is counterintuitive by

Marriage is perhaps the most unique contract among all others. Not only does it serve as an emblem for a couple’s love and commitment, but it also holds strong ties to national policy and jurisdiction. Throughout American history, marriage ideals and the paradigm of consensual monogamy have been strongly enforced. By implementing certain policies and excluding other alternatives to marriage, marital laws have essentially promoted monogamous marriage as well as shaped people’s understandings of societal roles. Specifically, the role of women has evolved within the constraints of marriage.
It is quite clear that arranged marriages lead to the reinforcement of family values. Couples that come from the same background in arranged marriages come together and renew their culture and traditional values. Arranged marriages are about pairing two people together with the same cultural, economic and religious background. Additionally, it is viewed, as something not based on feelings but rather through commitment and through commitment feeling are supposed to develop over time. Sharing a life with someone becomes increasingly difficult when backgrounds, ethnicities, social, financial status and religious beliefs differ. It is often said love is blind however; parents are not blind and usually have their children’s best interest in mind when arranging a
western family? Well, I think Western societies are afraid of all the commitment that comes
In “A Million First Dates” (The Atlantic, Jan/Feb 2013), Dan Slater argues commiting to a stable relationship is negatively influenced by online dating because of a decline in commitment in couples. Essentially, the more options a person is given to find the perfect person in a short amount of time, the less they are inclined to stay in a relationship. For example, Slater’s case study subject, Jacob, a man with a difficult time meeting women and genuinely falling in love. After easily finding a dream woman on a dating website he found it easier to find someone else once their relationship ended. Hence, online dating made it easier for him (and possibly other users) to change views on a long or lifetime monogamous relationship. Additionally,
...prerequisite for marriage. Additionally, such a law would be the true enactment of the principle of equality, about which the human society has been so vocal and rightly so. Moreover, religion is not an authority on what a person should do and who they should like and commit to and evoking the religion argument has usually cost the society more than it has profited it. Lastly, there is a socio-economic aspect of this notion from which the entire society and not just a subsection of it will benefit. Today countries are experimenting with laws on marijuana usage, freedom of speech and where do draw the line. It is high time, then, that a section of the society that has always been kept on the margins be given its due rights and that future generations do not rise from the ashes of hypocritical equality but stand on solid foundations of egalitarianism and impartiality.
Being single can be a factor of loneliness that let the person need someone to complete them. Single life is not that easy. Most of people feel they’re alone. ”This isn 't a lifestyle choice. Plenty of folks choose to be single. Nobody chooses to be lonely.” (10 Heartbreaking Truths Single People Never Talk About) There are fewer lonely married people than single ones.

The big thing that makes me think arranged marriages are wrong is that I couldn’t imagine having to live a life that wasn’t one that I chose to live. Because I’ve always lived in an environment where I get to make most of my own choices, when it comes to seeing the situation through a different light it’s nearly unimaginable to me. In my opinion, there should be a law against arranged marriages that the women do not agree with. The bad part about trying to stop it is that it happens all around the world. According to the...
What comes to mind when you hear the words arranged marriage? I am sure a happy, respectful, loving relationship was not what popped into your mind. Arrange marriages are a complex subject, and the concept is perceived as a human rights issue where individuals loose the right to freedom of choice. In saying that, my initial opinion of an arranged marriage was not held in high regard. However, after being introduced to someone who is in the process of an arranged marriage; and conducting my own research; my view changed. Hence I have much regret about my naivety on the concept. This type of marriage, known as a culturally specific decision (Seth, 2008), has been confused with a forced marriage. In summary, researchers have confirmed that individuals in Western society have a miss-informed notion of what truly is an arrange marriage.
The important reason why an arranged marriage should be prohibited is that people can use it to exploit each other’s family. Also, the arranged marriage has its bad-imaged side through many abusive real stories of girls throughout the world. From those real stories of an arranged marriage, people realize that an arranged marriage should be altogether banned. Moreover, they would rather choose love marriage rather than an arranged marriage to avoid the tragedy of arranged marriage. Thus, arranged marriage has good side and bad side as well; however, the good side of the arranged marriage does not deserve for people to risk their happiness and their life. Therefore, during the arranged marriage, the partner could live in the depressed and tragic life with stranger. With the problem of an arranged marriage, it is impossible if the government released the new law to force the resident not to hold an arranged marriage whereas the arranged marriage still has it good side. Ultimately, as long as an arranged marriage is a tradition in many South Asian countries; it is very hard to abolish the arranged marriage thoroughly; however it should be abolished depending on people’s
Love in itself is a chance you need to be willing to take. There is no love without risk and even worse than risk, there is no love without loss. Everything in life is a risk, but risking to open yourself up and fully give yourself to someone can be the hardest of them all. It is courageous to love because falling in love can be hard. Relationships have the potential to either end well, or end horrifically, but the thing is, that’s the risk you have to be willing to take. The reason relationships are so complicated is because of the people in them. People make them challenging and complex. Who can tell you before a relationship starts if you are gonna be toxic, or gonna be part of something very special. The risk everybody takes on a daily basis with love, is a risk that can have a very giant reward, a big ring and a wedding. Some people are afraid to fall in love because they fear heartbreak, and I could say i’m that person. When I am in a relationship, I put in everything I have. I value all of the relationships I am apart of and I strive to make them better everyday. But sometimes I just need to face the world and realize that at some point, most of the relationships I have today will fail because people make mistakes. Heartbreak is inevitable, and that is okay. I will be okay. Heartbreak has a way of reminding us that we are in love, and that we do know how to love. The desire people have to make things last will force you to giving love another try. When you set all your reservations and fears aside, you will allow yourself to love and prosper in a relationship. Heartbreak in a relationship doesn’t just occur when you and your significant other break up, you feel heartbreak when someone you love passes away, you lose a friend you thought you would have forever and for many other reasons. Although heartbreak does suck, it is a part of the excitement of life. In relationships you are never supposed to know how
There could be a lot of reasons why someone would want some form of companionship when real life presence is not readily available. Katie Collins (2013) quotes, “Like any
The legal relationship, which comes out from a contract by which, ‘one man and one woman’ who have the ability to enter into such a union, promised to live together, take care of each other in the relation of ‘husband and wife in law for life until the legal termination of that relationship’ is defined as marriage. Marriage also may be defined as a legal union between ‘one man and one woman’ as husband and wife entering into contract changes the status of both parties in giving new rights and obligation. Traditionally, marriage has been viewed as creation of a family and vital to protection of morals and civilization. That is, the traditional principle founded from the marriage is that, the husband has the obligation to support his wife, provide a safe house, pay the necessities such as food, clothing, and to live together with the wife. The wife’s obligation entailed maintaining a home, having sexual relations with her husband and rearing the couple’s children.
Back in Cambodia, relationship need to start through family, and no one able to break the rule because it is part of Cambodian culture, which I believed was right.
