Outline:
Introduction-Slight background on arranged marriage and a hook into the cultural aspect of different marriages being performed in different places. Hopefully I tied the theme of globalization in well enough.
Thesis-American citizens may feel negatively towards arranged marriage, nevertheless they shouldn’t judge so harshly and try to be more accepting of others’ cultures. [Maybe, I'm not for sure on that]
Main Points-A true definition of arranged marriage: There are many stereotypes involved with arranged marriages and my main goal was just to set them straight. I pretty much just explained how they were really gone about and gave people's defenses about them who had actually been through one or lived in a culture where they were traditional.
Aspect of tragicness: Many believe that it is cruel and harsh to the couple to be wed to force them into an arranged marriage. However, as it is a tradition, they grow up knowing what they have to look for in the future. Americans especially think that is a violation of freedom.
Marriage has grown: Marriage involves more than just tradition or family ties nowadays. Two different families are being brought together. Sometimes the families don't always get along or other times the parents don't approve of the young man himself. Arranged marriages can lessen or often times eliminate these problems.
Parents usually have the same goals: Whether a follower of arranged or free-choice marriage, you want the best for your child. In cases, it is assumed that the parents looking for a spouse for their child don't consider their child's fortune in their choice. This is another myth. The parent's always (or will try their hardest) look for someone that is best suited for their child.
Conclusion: TBA. Haven't gotten quite that far yet so we shall see...
So maybe this is one of those 4 part ones?
