&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Social Justice âMarriageâ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:center;" align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Marriage is
a custom which can be found in every human culture. Although the forms and
rules are differ. Marriage is a form of commitment between man and woman. It is
a legal recognized relationship by a religious ceremony between man and woman
who intent to live together as sexual and domestic partners. It is can also an
arrangement between families whereby parents create a kind of business
transaction in order to maintain family status and level. Modern marriages
become more complicated today due to social justice issue such as homosexual
marriage and divorce. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Arrangement
marriage used to be common in the ancient world and it is still practice in
most countries today especially to those high power and status families.
Parents have control over their childâs happiness. They will one who will
choose and decide to whom their child going to marry. For the sake of family
status and power they sacrifice their own childâs happiness. Freedom and happiness
have been taken out from their children. Arrangement marriage is also a form of
solemn promise between two families. My parent married was arranged but they
opting for love marriage. Even though they donât love each other, but at least
they know each other for long time. They try to accept and love the one another
and now they live happily with six children in a comfortable living. This kind
of marriage arrangement is good because both families know each other very
well. But not for others, they donât even know who their going to marry. They
cannot see the appearance and personality until the wedding day. Marriage means
people marrying for love and live rest of their life for the person their love.
Unfortunately, marriage is just a primary union which made good economic sense
and in order to solidify political alliances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Modern
people are pushing the trend toward amorality same-sex marriage. Same-sex
marriage has been top debate issue in our political and society today. Even
higher Supreme Courts take action about this matter. Majority people are
opposing about same-sex marriage or gay marriage, especially in religious
groups. They insist that marriage is between one man and on woman. They been
taught this way and it was written in Holy Bible for many thousand years. As a
Christian myself, I have been taught by pastors, church members and family that
there only two gender that God created. Gay is considering a moral sin.
Although, I have been taught that way but I never look down on gay people. I
have big respect for them, it is not their choice to be gay it happen from
their own will. They also human have the right to choose who they want to
married. I support gay civil union for gay couples, but it doesnât mean that I
support gay marriage. Marriage has been union of one man and one woman in all
human cultures throughout human history. It has been the standard custom in
many cultures for several thousand years. Unfortunately, the definition of
marriage today is radically different from what it was several thousand years
ago. Same-sex marriage destroys the definition of marriage, because it no
longer represents the inherently procreative relationship of opposite sex pair
bonding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Marriage
was born from primitive cultures that recognized that males and females mated
and as a result produced children that needed to be cared for. Unfortunately,
the rates of files divorce increasing rapidly especially in United State.
Many people filing divorce because the relationship is not going well. In the
first place they didnât know what is marriage really means. They just though
that the intimate love between two people are enough to get married. It is more
than that; it is more on responsibility and sacrifice. It is an idea couples
committing for life and raising children together and sharing the struggles of
survival. Divorce is the most stressful event that affects family especially on
children. Children may feel a great loss and as well as anxiety and sadness.
Back in hundred years ago, divorce cases are very rare. Even the love between
both parents is gone; they still stay together for the sake of their children.
Parent divorce made a big impact on children, from old saying that âchildren
learn what they liveâ is very true. Parent is childrenâs role model, whatever parent
do the children will imitate it.&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Children of divorced
parents perform more poorly in school. They also are more likely to repeat a
grade and to have higher drop-out rates and lower rates of college graduation.
It is really big impact for our society; federal government spent more money on
school because higher repeat grade. &lt;/span&gt;Marriage is foundation of family.
However, the foundation is getting weak and higher consumption for singles. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The meaning of marriage is differs
from one person to another, from time to another. In ancient times, marriage is
a form &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;condition where women most
treated as a property for men. Historically period, marriage is permanent
institution that once entered cannot be dissolved beside death. Romantic love
has been made the most important basis for marriage. Marriage is also a
commitment and agreement of both men and women. Certainly, in the modern world,
the meaning of marriage is become more complicated. Marriage is primary union which made good economic sense&lt;span style="color:rgb(0, 51, 102);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; People are pushing the trend into an amorality society.
Same-sex couples are pursuing the right to be married. Unfortunately, a legal
recognition didnât allow same-sex to be married, it will change the meaning of
marriage extremely differ. In addition, higher divorce rates many children will
not be raised in a traditional family unit. The meaning of marriage never
define, it is changing as the times change. As society changes, the institution
of marriage changes as well. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Television is considered as a two sides effect instrument. In fact, watching TV can be very useful for viewers. But we can not deny the truth that it has a lot of bad effects especially on children. That is clearly obvious in the violence scene which are shown on its screen. Television violence affects all who view it, but its biggest effect is on children. Childrenâs minds are like a blank page. Television is writing violence on that page. Television violence is one of the causes of aggression and violent behavior in children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Recent researches indicates that young children up to 6 year watch TV in average of 60 hours in a week. Those hours decrease to 6,5 a day when entering a school and so on. Accordingly,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;children spend more time in watching TV than in schools. As a result of long time of watching, children are exposed to violent scenes .With the regular watching, a child get used to those scenes. This causes him acclimation of the feeling in danger. Moreover, it causes the child to accept the idea that violence is the &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;perfect &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;mean solve problems. There will be no way to negotiate with others. It is only hands which do the job. Additionally, he tries to do whatever he sees on that small screen through imitation. By the pass of the time, this may turn him to be a real criminal .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;In the final analysis, we got to the truth that television has a great affects on our children. Mostly, they are bad effects. It even can turn them into criminals or murderers. So that we should pay more attention to what they watch to protect them from its dangers. It is our duty as elder, wise and responsible &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Would you pls. check my writing!!!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WouldYouPlsCheckMyWriting/gkdqn/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2008 03:00:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:551408</guid><dc:creator>Toto..</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone..How are you all...I am back today &lt;img id="@@emo@@" alt="(:)) Smile" src="http://www.englishforums.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" /&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;I need you check my writing down here &lt;br /&gt;*Can this be a descriptive essay??&lt;br /&gt;*What about grammar and spelling??&lt;br /&gt;*** If you have any advice &amp;gt;&amp;gt;I would be happy to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#bf005f;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt; &lt;h2&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#bf005f;"&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#943634;mso-themecolor:accent2;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Through out our life ,we always meet different types of people. Some we like and may be we do not like some others. But &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;definitely ,there are others &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;who we really admire even if they are few. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;We keep them deep in hearts and minds .One of those most admirable people I ever met is my elder brother ,&lt;span style="TEXT-DECORATION:underline;"&gt;Jimmy&lt;/span&gt;. He has a great personality and a lot of good characteristics. For instance, I am going to write about two noticeable characteristics which are: his role as member in our family and his great efforts in his practical life.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#943634;mso-themecolor:accent2;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;when talking about his role in our &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;family, three sisters , three brothers and a beloved mom &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;,it is clear that Jamal feels that every member of us is his responsibility .To illustrate, he keeps doing his best to support every one of us whenever we need help .Moreover, he tries to lead us the safe shore of life through advice and actions. All that due to his warm heart especially with mother. He never says &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; to her what ever she asked .Accordingly, I believe that is the secret which makes him admired by every one around him. Truly, I can call him the&amp;quot; man of our family&amp;quot;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#943634;mso-themecolor:accent2;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;On the other hand, &lt;span style="TEXT-DECORATION:underline;"&gt;Jimmy&lt;/span&gt; is a hard worker. His great efforts in job is always remarked and respected by others .He never satisfy with what he had reached. But that does not mean that he is eager or mean. On the contrary, he tries his best to proof himself and to improve his work to benefit himself and others in the same time. Although of all that ,he still the most humble and kind person not only for me but for everyone knew him.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#943634;mso-themecolor:accent2;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;To summarize , Jimmy is one of the most admirable people I ever known. That because of his great characteristics which are difficult to be found in a person within our &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;current life. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Therefore, I am proud to say that &amp;quot;&lt;span style="TEXT-DECORATION:underline;"&gt;Jimmy&lt;/span&gt; is my brother&amp;quot;. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#943634;mso-themecolor:accent2;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="rtl" style="TEXT-ALIGN:left;" align="right"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: This is my first writing.

Isn&amp;#39;t it part of everyday speech which is why they do tense switching in their essays in the first place?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I understand that even native speakers make spelling mistakes and occasional subject-verb agreement mistakes. But I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;ve heard or seen any native speaker make tense mistakes. Oh..it&amp;#39;s very likely because I don&amp;#39;t know tense switching well enough. Could you give an real world example of a tense switching mistake committed by a native? I don&amp;#39;t believe they woudl say &amp;quot;Yesterday, I see a man&amp;quot; or I graduate last year&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, If I&amp;#39;m asking a lot.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance.</description></item><item><title>Re: Could you please help me with the introduction of this essay?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CouldIntroductionEssay/gvpcc/post.htm#525149</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:22:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:525149</guid><dc:creator>Mr Wordy</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;A few changes are needed to tidy up the grammar/spelling, but otherwise I think your opening paragraph is fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; recent research, &lt;strike&gt;there are&lt;/strike&gt; 50 to 100 million &lt;strike&gt;of&lt;/strike&gt; animals worldwide, from &lt;strike&gt;Zebra-fish&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strong&gt;zebra fish [?]&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to non-human primates, are used in scientific experiments. Yet at the same time, &lt;strong&gt;the question of&lt;/strong&gt; whether human&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt; should conduct experiment&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt; on animals is subject to much debate. Some &lt;strike&gt;one&lt;/strike&gt; think it is beneficial for human&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt; while others argue that it should be &lt;strike&gt;band&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strong&gt;banned&lt;/strong&gt;. I agree with the former view, but with reservations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be perfectly honest, I don&amp;#39;t know which of &amp;quot;zebra-fish&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;zebra fish&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;zebrafish&amp;quot; are accepted spellings. Possibly all three are OK. But since I was de-capitalising it anyway I changed it to the spelling given in Merriam-Webster&amp;#39;s Online Dictionary.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Help with essay via e-mail, english is my 2nd language</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/EssayMailEnglishLanguage/gvcmx/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jun 2008 09:22:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:521574</guid><dc:creator>anabel_swe</dc:creator><description>Hi, I really need help with two essays that I have written. The subject is english literature. English is not my first language so they are written in quite simple english. I&amp;#39;m concerned about the fact having my essays being out on the internet, therefore I don&amp;#39;t want to post them here, but I am in desperate need of help. If someone feels like they want to help me by correct grammar and spelling errors and eventually improve my formulations, please send me an e-mail at &amp;quot;anabel_gonzales_89@hotmail.com&amp;quot;. I would be eternally grateful to you! And who knows, if you feel like learning swedish someday (um probably not gonna happen but anyway^^) then I will be able to help you! =) Best regards Anabel</description></item></channel></rss>
