• Whereas, during the colonial period in Africa (particularly in English dependencies), primal family planning exercises were introduced. Due initially to low government acknowledgement of the need for services and shifting government support, inadequate external assistance, defiance from the Roman Catholic church in certain regions, logistical difficulties, and deficiency in trained manpower, post-colonial application of programs was so gradual (United Nations Population Fund, 1983).

• A survey was disseminated in 1996 by Crowley’s to members of CFM throughout the US and Canada that inquired them how “rhythm” either benefit or impair their marriage. The replies they obtained from the contributing couples were generally undesirable in that the majority felt that the tradition of “rhythm” somehow impaired their marriage. The outcome of the study was never issued but rather was yielded as a transcribed article to the Papal Birth Control Commission.
• A study was held to examine the spousal outcomes of practicing “rhythm” over 30 years ago by the founders of the Christian Family Movement (CFM), a worldwide Catholic family action group. Their concluding statement showed that several participants considered that episodic abstinence was damaging to their marriage and produced spiritual and religious difficulty.

  • The Merchant's Ideas of Marriage

    1237 Words  | 3 Pages

    Bill Cosby once said that, “For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked.” J.J. Lewis (1995-2009) This famous comedian could not have been more correct when recognizing that every marriage will face a multiple number of challenges and is often difficult. Couples, once married, must find a way to end any struggles in order for the marriage to be successful. Marital traditions have changed greatly over the centuries and due to this, the opinion of what an ‘ideal marriage” consists of has changed as well. When reviewing the document “On Love and Marriage” the author (a Merchant of Paris) believes that marriage should not be an equal partnership, but one that pleases the husband to avoid conflict. This can be clearly seen through an examination of: the social, and political environment of the late fourteenth century, and the merchant’s opinions on the area of obedience to a husband, and how to avoid infidelity.

  • Perspectives on Unplanned Pregnancies: Hills Like White Elephants, and Good People

    963 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Hemingway’s “Hills like White Elephants” and Wallace’s “Good People,” both of the young females, Jig and Sheri, experience an unplanned pregnancy and must decide whether an abortion is the right choice. While the former story employs dialogue to depict the relationship of an adventurous, carefree couple in the 1920s, the latter uses third person limited point of view to show a faithful young couple whose religion is their source of morality. Thus, Wallace digs much deeper since both religion and love are a factor in Sheri’s ultimate decision. The enigmatic endings of both stories leave us questioning Jig and Sheri’s choice and its impact on the future of their relationship with their respective partners. The text suggests that Jig will not comply with the American’s wish of aborting the baby because of her vision and the indicative dialogue between her and the American, and Sheri will conform to her religious beliefs and carry the child. Whereas Jig will leave the American due to his lack of obligation, Lane Dean Jr. will marry Sheri in his effort to be a good person.

  • Redefining Traditional Marriage Roles in Western Society

    1442 Words  | 3 Pages

    For as long as we can remember, the idea that marriage is sacred, desirable, and even necessary has persisted in the western world. In a way, society has taught us that in order to live a normal, fulfilled life, one must find their soul mate, marry them, and spend the rest of eternity together. According to tradition, a perfect marriage is characterized by a husband that goes to work every day while the wife remains within the home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Tradition has further dictated that once the husband returns from work, the wife has dinner ready and the family sits down around the table to share a meal together. American literature is full of stories that both play on or challenge these traditional roles within a marriage. But, one might ask, does

  • Infertility Essay

    1362 Words  | 3 Pages

    To discuss the concept of infertility, it needs to be understood in the context of each individual culture. The World Health Organization advises the definition of infertility be 24 months of unprotected sex without conception (Whitehouse & Hollos, 2014, p.124). However, some cultures define infertility as having too few children, not conceiving soon after marriage, etc. It is evident that there is a gap between the medical definition and some cultural definitions of infertility. According to Whitehouse and Hollos (2014), social organization and kinship formed the definition and experience of infertility within two of the Nigerian communities they studied. For example, in the community of the Amakiri, the birth of a child is important to the status of a woman amongst the other women. Until a woman gives birth she is unable to partake in the “women’s association meetings”, a major social opportunity. Therefore, the women deemed infertile by the community are are socially isolated from the other wo...

    However, the wish of having multiple children, especially boys, was challenged by the strict One Child policy in 1979. The One Child policy, also known as Family Planning policy, was implemented across the country as one of fundamental national policies under the administration of Population and Family Planning Commission. Based on the purpose of lowering fertility rates to ease social pressure and improve living standard, a married couple is only allowed to have one child with some exceptions made for some ethnic minorities and rural families. The majority of citizens are classified by ethnics and occupations to fit the specific regulations of compensations and punishments to prevent them from having a second child (Li, J., & Cooney, R, S. 1993).
