101: Education 2
... many elements impact upon people's lives, from the genes we inherit to the families we are born into and the communities in which the child grows up (Meyers 31). As pointed out by Berman, "Divorce is one of the worst things that can happen between parents during the early years of a child s life, not only can divorce break all the bonds which were previously established, but is something that can leave the children with lots of baggage." When children learn that a vow or bond can be broken, they face life with ... is the phenomenon whereby adults become committed by a one-way flow of concern and affection for which they have cared during the first months and years of life.

102: A Non-Religious Contract in America
... today have plummeted to a new low. Fewer people are going to church than earlier in the century. Many people are marrying without even going to a priest by getting a judge to marry them. Divorce is steadily on the rise. Today's society accepts homosexuals! Now the issue arises over whether we should allow homosexuals to marry. And you know what? It is really none of the government's business ... its dominance in the issue of marriage. We cannot argue the fact that there are more divorces in the country today that there were 20 years ago. This points to America's increasing acceptance of divorce. Therefore, we can conclude that religion has become less of an issue for many Americans when marrying because most religions strongly discourage divorce, some to the point of not allowing it at all. This leads to the question, "What is today's basis for marriage?" Some propose that the sole purpose of marriage be to bring life ...
103: A Streetcar Named Desire
... what he wants, takes his abuse yet still loves him. Situations likes these may have occurred in the 1950 s and lasted, but in today s time this would only end up in a quick divorce. The first scene of the play (pg. 14) Stanley has just thrown a piece of meat up to Stella as he turns the corner heading for the bowling ally. He makes no motion to stop ... his wife. This scene demonstrates Stanley s viscous animal like traits with such violence. If what happened here was repeated in today s society he would find himself in a jail cell with a pending divorce. During the last scene of the play (pg. 142) Blanche is being taken away by a doctor. This is an extremely emotional time for Stella. She really needs someone to comfort her. Stanley being insensitive ... to each other though the sacrament of marriage is non existent. The barbaric and animal like actions of Stanley would never be tolerated in our society today. Actions like his would be treated with a divorce. But Stella s never ending love for Stanley kept them together thought the play.

105: Why Do Parents Abduct?
Why Do Parents Abduct? According to the U.S. Department of Justice, over 354,000 children are kidnapped by a parent each year in divorce custody disputes. Some of the children are recovered or returned quickly while others may be on the run for years. Unfortunately many of these children are never found. Generally, people are concerned with the traumatic ... his child play soccer and despite being looked down upon by his caseworker, is content with the method he used to rescue his precious son. Whereas Geoffrey Greif sees abduction as the 'extreme end of divorce,' Deborah Linnell, a Project ALERT volunteer, calls it 'an extreme form of domestic violence.' I feel that abductions are the combination of the two. Certainly stealing away with your child without telling the other parent ... can hurt someone just as much emotionally as if you had stabbed them with a knife or cut off their arm. Just as applicable is that this is an extreme, and excessive end to a divorce dispute. What I found interesting about the reunification process in these cases is that they are often depicted in both movies and books as a joyful reunion. When if fact, the assimilation of an ...

... silent for the remainder of the play and, despite Wolsey's continuing plea that he should ignore his "own, private, conscience" (Bolt 12) for state reasons, More is unable to approve of the King's divorce. As More and King Henry talk during the King's visit to Chelsea in scene six, More is once again pressured on the matter of the Henry's divorce, now by Henry himself.

... Today in the U.S., there are over 8 million single-parent homes (Holzman). Forty years ago, single-parent homes were few and almost unheard of. If a child grew up with a single parent, divorce was hardly the reason. Death was the cause, not divorce. Today, divorce is a common factor of life. Holden Caulfield s perspective is that of a nuclear family. Holdens point-of-view and perspective is still interpreted the same by most teenagers. Even though families ...
109: Childhood Enemies
... represents a period of significant change. These changes bridge the transition from childhood to adulthood. Teenagers today live in a media-saturated society and they deal with a bouquet of formidable issues like sex, drugs, divorce, and gun violence. These conditions can become significant factors in an emerging personality (Doherty, 1997). How do these circumstances influence young people who are searching for the roles and values that will guide them all ... information provided by the U.S. Department of Justice: Illegitimate birth rates have increased more than 400 percent.

... s suffrage. Susan and I co- founded the Women's State Temperance Society for women married to alcoholics. It was in an 1852 meeting of this women's society that I proposed the right to divorce drunken husbands. The response was outrage, for the very idea of divorce was scandalous, and even the relatively advanced women feared that my radicalism would jeopardize their cause. The chief reason for the miserable state of wives of alcoholics was the lack of married women's property ... that it was I who had to fight for the addition of suffrage on the agenda. As I aged, my writing focused more on issues that directly concerned women's personal lives, particularly dress reform, divorce, and the damaging influence of religious and educational systems on the female population. In June of 1902, Susan Anthony spent a week in my home and she found me almost blind, but still alert. ...
