Assignment 7.3: Free-write on any cluster in chapter 8-10

Chapter 10: "What Does Marriage Require"

This part of the cluster talks about the risks in marriage and focuses on different aspects such as

the great expectations in marriage. Couples are likely to expect more in a marriage now than before because of higher value. According to Coontz, people nowadays don't respect the marriage vows", which I believe is a true in this generation.

Marriage in the past decades could mean marrying one for the rest of your lives. Divorce rates were down and unlikely because it meant alot for couples. We see these now, spending their 50th anniversary. So what about now? Well, you can get married as quick as getting a divorce! How about that for starters.



Assignment 7.2: Chapter 10 "Relationships" cluster of your choice

"What Fathers Do Best"


The article by Steven Rhoads helps others understand the importance of fathers in a childs life. We also have to remember that fathers do act like mothers when one parent is absent in the family. Fathers do plenty of things such as being the "Super Mom" cleaning, cooking, nurturing and etc. We have to honor these type of dads.

Although, a mother's love is still essential in a childs life. Usually a fathers role is to teach the child how to build self esteem, confidence and protection. While the mother's role is to love, nurture and respect values.

In my position, I agree above to an extent! Trust me, living a busy life I find myself doing what fathers are suppose to do. It's not easy but I get by it day by day.
Assignment 7.1--Feedback from task 6.2 and refine rough draft towards a finished one

I'm actually thinking of changing my topic. I know that we have one more week to finish the final but I think that my new topic would be beneficial for my job. I plan to make my topic about the Real ID Act.

The director of the Division of Motor Vehicles and Administration is being sued because of the Real ID Act implemenation. All I know is that it is being ran by AAMVA.

To get a scoop of what my argument will lead to, please check out this website:
