Marriage Trend Prediction
I would predict that the changes in marriage will depend upon the cultural value and beliefs. It is based on the person who is getting married, whether to follow the traditional ways to get married or follow another belief. For example, in western countries most of the young people can just live together without getting married ever in life. But on the other hand, in most of the Asian communities especially in Indian community, the guy or girl are not allowed to live together until they are married. But for western countries I would predict that marriage ritual will fade away in next 50 years, compared to Asian communities I would think that as the trends are changing, so the future generations will be able to live together and get married later on. But as I said before the cultural values and beliefs that parents will tell their children will make a huge impact on how their generation will respond to the marriage rituals.

While writing my blog about marriage for question 2, I also thought about asian beliefs in comparison to western style beliefs. Each time I talk to my older Vietnamese uncles and aunts about relationships, they always regard two people of different genders living under the same roof as shameful and scandalous. However, today here in the USA, I know of many opposite gender friends living together for the sake of college or testing out living independently from their parents. I agree with your statement, and I believe that the marriage trend in 50 years will be strongly impacted by how cultural value and beliefs change.
ReplyDeletei can agree with you on how marriage will change depending on peoples' cultural values and beliefs. It is in fact based on what they want to do when they get married on what they like it doesnt have to be based on traditional and what not. I like how you added examples on the asians not being allowed to live together but over the years i know many asians that moved out and living with their boyfriends, thats just their choice. I agree with the prediction about marriage rituals fading away because that a lot of time. Parents just have to really try to guide them and make sure they continue the traditions if they really care if not they just have to follow and stand by with their childrens' opinions.
