What might a sociologist say about people's selection of marriage partners?

∙ 12y ago
A sociologist would examine all the social factors of a person's life as possible influences on a person's preferences for a spouse. For example, cultural norms and a person's religious values can limit the pool of potential partners. These barriers have a way of breaking down; for example, interracial couples are increasingly accepted in American culture and once stringent religious divisions have faded over time. One's race or ethnicity, class, level of education, and other similar factors could also influence the decision in many ways. At the very least, these determine the people with whom a person interacts on a regular basis. And whether or not opposites attract, the saying suggests that people's characteristics do influence who people like.

∙ 13y ago- A sociologist may say 'you have picked someone compatible for yourself.' If you describe the personality of a particular person to marry and the sociologist may not agree that is the right person for you depending on what that person's characteristics are like. Example: If you are an extremely vibrant and outgoing person and your partner is at stay at home and introverted person then the sociologist may feel you are not well matched. Sometimes love is blind and a person does not think clearly about the characteristics of the person they will be spending the rest of their life with.

What does mixed marriage mean?
A "mixed "marriage" is a marriage between people from different religions or from different races or ethnic communities. The term is used when the two religions, races, or ethnic groups are thought by many to be incompatible in some way, such as marriage between a white man and a black woman in the US south in the 1950s, so that it is appropriate or necessary to specify that it is not a "usual" marriage.

What are peoples views on bigamy?
One can see in nature how the majority of species are Not monogamous. One can clearly see in humans how many partners each have during their lifes. We can call it serial monogamy and in fact many of those are interlapping; making most people not only bigamous but polygamous. The question is really why is it illegal when most societies allow and participate in multiple partners (serial, interlapping and continuous). In order to find the answer one must go back to the origin of marriage and private property as well as the involvement of organized religion. Note that marriage in most places is a contract between three parties. My question to you is why pretend and falsify human nature; then deal with the consequences of such a high incidence of infidelity and divorces; single parent homes and the lie that we all are supposed to grow up and live in a couple's family? When in fact it does take a village to raise a child.
