Re: marriage mating multiple wives and husbands

hiwarock — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:09:33 GMT

Thanks. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy has phrases below:
<quote>
Polygamy exists in three specific forms, including polygyny (one man having multiple wives), polyandry (one woman having multiple husbands), or group marriage (some combination of polygyny and polyandry).
--
Group marriage, or circle marriage, may exist in a number of forms, such as where more than one man and more than one woman form a single family unit, and all members of the marriage share parental responsibility for any children arising from the marriage.
</quote>
Hmmm. The 'from a single family' part is somehow puzzling ...

Hi again,

I think I missed correcting some of your sentences, so here they are.

Lu said he was unable to buy a house. âThe mortgage payment every month is $ 950,â said Lu, "and my salary is $1,100â.

Lu felt sad about his situation, but he wasnât angry with his girlfriend. âThe houseâs price is high, everything is getting/becoming expensive. Having a rich husband means there is a happy marriageâ, Lu said.

The survey shows that 40% of the participants balance true love during the search for a relationship. And there are an equivalent number who believe in love at first sight. 'Balance' is no a good word to choose. I don't understand.

âI still believe that they choose each other by loveâ, says John Zhao, a public servant in BeiJing. âWe have more choice and experience than our parents. But although we consider marrying for money that doesnât mean we donât have real loveâ.

Zhang Yuzhang, a professor of socilogy at Huazhong University, comments: âLove is a feeling and it needs material to be realised, strong and durable.â Say this last part another way, I don't understand it.

Best wishes, Clive

Money decides Chinese youthâs love

Love at first sight happened when marketing officer Lu Yun was introduced to his girlfriend two years ago, but he recently has discovered that money is the most important thing.

Practically, money is the reason for a series of rows between this couple before they decided to break up early this year. âShe says directly that we have to have a flat. No house means nothing,â said Lu. <<< What does this phrase mean?

According to a recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily and the online community, more people have the same ideas as Yuâs girlfriend.

Nearly a half of 9,000 participants revealed that money and financial circumstances are the two most important thing when they are in love.

Many single people say that they have examined their partnersâs finances prior to deciding about their marriage. 85.5% of the people who participated in the survey said that the younger generation is more interested in financial matters when deciding about the selection of a lover than previous generations were.

Hi Chibi.

Paragraphs are always welcome. Highlights show possible problems.

Quynh, who is still very young in her twenties, desires to do a lot of remarkable things such as studying to become a successful manageress, travelling around the world and devoting to charity program for children. Thus, she does not want to fix her life to a marriage. This is also the choice of many other women at her same age. They â who have had more chances to lead their life in their own way choose to stay single so that they can put all their energies into social and career life without worrying the possible difficulties of family life. Looking back at the society ages ago, women were not allowed to get beyond the bounds of familial principles. All they could do was to obey their parentsâ guides, and then their husbandsâ. Living such a life may lead women to inactiveness and depression.* Therefore, when doors are open for them to decide on their life, they naturally turn themselves towards the joys of little commitment and pressure.** Thatâs the time they can take all their chances for travelling and having parties, or spend all their money on clothes and make-up.*** In addition, the fact that women have gradually gained the equal roles as men in the integrated society encourages them to urge for much more improvement. These women become so workaholic that they think they have little time for anything else. Related to the first reasons, family life now has been considered a burden to some young women ~~in some cases~~. They seem to be afraid of caring about the household, financial problems and children because these may take a lot of time for their own. The lack of private time not only limits their free life but also results in their little devotion to the job. Moreover, the mass media has talked continually about home violence which has physical and mental influence on all suffered women. As a result, many young women still keep unmarried to protect themselves.**** To wrap up, a considerable number of young women now avoid strain their life by not coming to a marriage. They preferably lead a free life without worrying to be a victim of any home violence case, at the same time; they can absolutely be dedicated to their own career.

* I suggest more women suffer from depression today than in the past, so this may not be a good argument.

** You don't think a successful career brings pressure??

*** Spend their money on clothes and make-up? What about buying a home of their own, or Quynh, who wants to donate to charity? This is an absurd statement

**** I don't think you'll find many people saying "I didn't marry because I was afraid of domestic violence." Do you have survey data to back this up?

(Urgent!) Could you please comment my essay here? Thanks

I have underlined some problem areas:

So many days we hear the news of murder, not safety enough to let our child playing around themselves now days. This is so much different from the days of my childhood. This is one of the reason why some marriage couples hesitate to have ~~their~~ children. Still, better if compare to US safety level, too much murder that is why not all the cases are on the new. Whole the world is getting worse and worse? Some places have war problem, things are much different in such area. Society getting complicated, increasing the number of mental health patient and suicide. Things are much simple in 20 years ago, you just keep working at the same company and doing same job, normally, you do not have to worry about anything. Society changed, you have to keep yourself winner in ~~winners - losers~~ battle field. I was kind of shocked when I watch the movie âfight clubâ and âthe beachâ. As for my recognition, Hollywood starts never play the role in these ~~little~~ complicated/confused movies before. These are definitely not horror movies, but generally little ~~creasy~~ ones? Who can say he/she is creasy since almost all of us are sort of creasy?

Hi,

(1) Dr. Somerville ~~I don't believe she's going to mention this, so I will~~Dr. Somerville personally experienced, when she was awarded an honorary doctorate at Ryerson University, a campaign to marginalize her for her views on same-sex marriage.

Repetition of Dr. Somerville is it necessary? Please advise. Definitely not.

(2) Evangelical Christians, for example, who number approximate thirty-five million worldwide, hold to the Bible as the authority in life for faith and religious practice.

Approximate or approximately? Please clarify. approximately

(3) It will be my contention in these brief remarks that the optimal legal regime is one that permits same-sex couples to marry under the same laws the recognize the right of opposite sex couples to marry.

Can the changed to that? You need to change it to 'that'.

(4) In principle, we much recognize that marriage has legally never been connected to any ability or willingness to procreate, when it comes to heterosexuals. People who are beyond the age of procreation have always been permitted to marry.

we much---does it mean more? Or should it be we must? Please clarify. You need 'we must'.

(5) In short, the prophecies of doom that we heard about what would happen in Canada is we recognize same-sex marriage have simply not materialized.

Can is changed to if? You need 'if'.

Best wishes, Clive
