Jazlyn Berryhill 30 August 2020 Gerstel and Sarkisian-Marriage good bad and greedy Pasupathi- Arranged Marriages Part 1 Reading "Arranged Marriages: What's Love Got to Do with It?" brought insight that arranged marriages aren't what people paint them out to be, which is something that's particularly viewed as a forced marriage between individuals. I enjoyed learning how arranged marriages are presented as an option for most non-western cultures, not as a coerced effort due to one's culture or environment. The comparison and contrast between American culture were important because we, as American people, can tend to discredit or have disgrace for concepts we don't understand regarding other cultures and their choices. However, if we actually read or opened our minds, another society's cultural practices and values can be greatly beneficial for most people. It was interesting to learn that many arranged marriages can turn into an intimate, compassionate marriage over time for individuals. This statement is interesting because it lays the planned notion of expectations and demands for people by learning and knowing what they are bringing to the marriage. It also brings forth the benefits of open communication and choices tied to marriage, which leads to different martial partners that an individual wouldn't normally choose for their best benefit. "Marriage: the good, the bad, and the greedy" context about marriage being the bad guy based on the need for community growth and the individuals within that space due to the less likely benefit to contribute support for that environment. I find this intriguing because marriage is viewed as a high stature for people and a long-term foundation for future generations created from marriage. Also, the concept of marriage is valued more highly within communities

due to the symbol stigma society placed on it. The information that married people are less supportive and dependable on family and friends' needs. This was eye-opening, because if you look at the "primary" method of marriage—it's about the welfare of children and the marriage. When children are brought into a marriage, the levels of priority shift into that of the child(ren) with other items labeled as unimportant or unavailable, which is what I got from the statement. Part 2 Question: How strongly are communities affected by couples that are married compared to ones that aren’t married, but living together?
