Peer Pressure ( #4 )

1. http://www.madd.org/tuhijo/en_act_friends.htm
I looked for this site about peer pressure. This site talk us about what peer pressure. The author says a peer is a friend or acquaintance in the same age group as children. Also, pressure from children’ peers can be negative or positive. In addition, teenagers tend to find the advice of their friends, or peers. There are some reasons why teens give into peer pressure. First, some children give in to peer pressure because they want to fit in with their friend. Another reason is fear of being teased or becoming unpopular if they don’t go along with the group. Finally, peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to resist. The author states parents have to play an important role. Lastly, the author says how to help teenagers deal with peer pressure.


2. I agree with the author about peer pressure. I think this situation occur adolescent teenagers. I talk example. In my friend’s case, my friend went to high school in the U.S.A. Before he left in Korea, he did not smoke. After 3 years, he visited in Korea. So I met him. His behavior was changed by something. While he met me, he have a smoking continually. I asked him, “How did you learn smoking?” He talked me, “my friends almost have a smoking, so I learned it.” I did not understand about that but now I think it was peer pressure. I want to say it that peer pressure can influence negative or positive in according to situation.

Children With No Socialization ( #3 )

1. I read this site http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-9602%28194001%2945%3A4%3C554%3AESIOAC%3E2.0.CO%3B2-7&size=LARGE. This site tell me about eatreme social isolation of a child. This site tell about extreme social isolation of a child. There was a girl who was discovered incarcerated in an upstairs room. She was physically malnourished and apathetic as well as mentally blank. What did she improve very slowly?
It’s that to a country home, to a foster-home, to a school for defective children. According to the New York Times for February 6, 1938, a girl was tied to an old chair in a storage room on the second floor in a farm home. This situation was that the child was illegitimate.



2. When I visited this site, I didn’t understand about it. In case of the girl, Anna, she was deprived by in society because she was not taken care, spoken, taught by anyone. So Anna’ parents did not have a responsibility for Anna. I think that most parents were under an obligation to take care of their children. If I was Anna, maybe I will not be normal person because I was unable to talk and move. On the other hands, if I was Anna’ mother or father, I will be concerned about my children and will try to become good person for my children.

Alternative Forms of Marriage Polyandry ( #2 )

1. I visited the site http://www.trivia-library.com/b/alternative-forms-of-marriage-polyandry.htm . This site were written about polyandry – one woman has many husbands at the same time. It is rare story such as this site. In the few primitive cultures, some tribers have killed off a percentage of the female babies in the right balance for polyandry. There are a few old rhyme such as Higamus, hogamus, Woman's monogamous, Hogamus, higamus, Man is polygamous. There are some counties which are practicing polyandry like The Nayars, Tibet, The Herder Todas. On the other hand, polyandry is rare in European and Asian civilization because their culture is monogamy. Today, polygyny or polyandry is likely instead of monogamy. In case of the U.S. , the law is looser because people who choose to live in nonlegal.


2. There are two reasons why I choose this site. I separated merits and demerits. First, merits are the women have many babies and the men can radiate sexual desire. Second, demerits are the women will become erasure their personal rights. Strange problem will occur. For example, the baby who born in this situation will not know their father. the rate which occur unusual babies will be also high. In conclusion, I think ployandry has to disappear in society.

Alternatives to Marriage ( #1 )

http://www.unmarried.org/statistics.html

1. I went to Alternatives to Marriage. This is statistics such as Living

Together, Living Alone, Unmarried childbearing and parenting etc.

I can find data which the number of unmarried couples living

together increased than the past. Today’s household type is living

alone in the U.S. Most of women who are unmarried have babies

under 18 living in them or in cohabiting couples. Americans who

work about U.S. Census Bureau made these. In case of More about

unmarried different-sex couples, 50% of different-sex cohabitors

get married but other 40% break up that same period. The rest of

10% people have been living together for more than five years.

2. When I read this article, I could think several things about today’s

alternatives to marriage. If the couple were living together without

marrying, I would think it was bad behavior. However, my thinking

was wrong. In the past, this situation couldn’t occur in my country

but today’s culture may be possible like U.S. I don’t think that most

of people have to get married because they can accept living together

without marrying. Living alone also have a benefit. Nevertheless,

if the couple have babies without marrying, I’ll think wrong.

Finally this also will cause problem in the society.
