1. Does Gallagher Make a sound case for marriage? Explain why/why not.
ReplyDeleteGallagher makes it completly evident that marriage is good for everyone. Not only for your children but your personal life as well. In the essay he includes various examples and statements as to why marriage can change your life in a positive way. She states many facts and backs them up with research also.
1. In my personal opinion, Gallagher doesn’t seem to make a sound case for marriage. I feel as though she is basing her information on heterosexual marriages only. I personally think that if she had included same sex marriages into her research and her statistics, then maybe her argument would be more believable to me. Basing her essay and her research on only heterosexual marriages only gives the reader one set of statistics and examples because it doesn’t include every type of marriage lifestyle.
ReplyDelete1.Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage? Explain why/why not.
ReplyDeleteyes, gallagher makes a sound case for marriage. this is because in the reading, she clearly gives examples of why marriage is good for you. she doesn't put opinion, but cold hard facts. because of this, she is more credible than someone who would just say stuff in their own opinion about this topic.she gave the examples and backed them up.
Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage? yes he does because people in todays world marry today and divorce tomorrow. The tradition of marriage has is not followed in today's society. If it was followed the divorce rate would not be as high. He gave ten good reason's that can result in a good marriage and believe each last one of them.
ReplyDelete1. Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think Gallagher does make a good case for marriage all though I would have liked to see statistics on same sex marriage as well. I think that married people are happier then single people and people living together. The majority of case you hear in the news is about girlfriend/boyfriend either hitting each other or sometimes you even hear about murder.
2. I feel that if Gallagher had included civil unions and gay marriages in the essay that it would have made a tremendous difference in her essay. I believe that her essay would be better if she had included these types of marriage because there would be examples from every style of marriage possible and her depending on her research her it could have made her point come across even stronger. She only focuses on one type of marriage style. The whole outcome of this essay can change if she had involved civil union/gay marriage examples.
ReplyDeleteGallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay? It might push some readers away from reading the story because gay marriages are kind of controversial issue or topic. Many people tend to hate the gay marriage policy especially in today's world where they are being discriminated against.
ReplyDelete2.Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteif gallagher would have included gay marriages and civil unions, i think that the audience reading would look at her reading different. she only talked about heterosexual marriages because it seemed more common than gay marriages and wouldn't really cause controvery. it might push the reader if she talked about gay marriages because people have different views.
2. Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted its focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteI don’t think it really would have had too much of an effect on the essay. It would have made it a lot stronger in my opinion. No it wouldn’t have shifted its focus. I believe it would have made it stronger only because when you get married it doesn’t matter who you marry you are still going be happy and still be in love.
1. Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage?
ReplyDeletePersonally, Gallagher does not make a sound case for marriage. Firstly her entire argument is for heterosexual couples, not once does Gallagher enter same sex couples into the equation. Gallagher uses a wide array of statistics to flimsily back her claims. She breaks the cardinal rule of statistics by suggesting that correlation implies causation. Gallagher’s argument is purely statistical; writers can manipulate statistics into saying anything they want.
2. Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay? \
ReplyDeleteIf Gallagher were to be in support of same sex marriage in her essay her argument may have been strengthened. In its current state, the exclusion of same sex marriage seems outdated. However, were Gallagher to be opposed to same sex marriage, her argument would weaken. Gallagher’s underlying purpose seems to show that marriage is a great institution that all Americans should undergo in order to “protect taxpayers and society from a broad and deep set of costs, personal and communal,” as well believing that “marriage is a powerful creator and sustainer of human and social capital for adults…and children.” If she were to say that then same sex couples could not marry, she would be implying that same sex couples would not be awarded the safety, happiness, longevity and wealth that she believes marriage correlates with.
1.Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage?
ReplyDeleteYes, i believe Gallagher makes a sound case for marriage for the simple fact that she states marriage is good. She gives various examples and reasons as to why marriage has a positive effect on a person's life.she states the positivity that marriage brings and how exactly it effects the couple and their lives.
3. What objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms (2)?
ReplyDeleteGallagher believes that constricting the argument for marriage to “exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional” terms hides the “profound benefits that lasting marriage confers on adults.” By limiting her argument to those constraints Gallagher cannot introduce the more selfish reasons for marriage. Maintaining a love-less marriage for the sake of a child’s well being is an incredibly self-less act, and it’s benefits are not as easily seen as the other benefits Gallagher presents in her essay. More so because love cannot be statistically calculated (a survey cannot explore the dimensions to human emotion) it has no room in Gallagher’s statistic laden essay.
1. Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage? Explain why/why not.
ReplyDeleteGallagher make a sound case for marriage. She go in to depth of how much it influent family life, children, and finance. Marriage sound very worthy according to the 10 benefits that she list. She also give some comparison example of the disadvantage that a none marriage family might face compare to a marriage one(poverty, negative impact on children,ect..).
Yes I believe Gallagher does make a sound or good case for marriage. She uses specific examples and also many facts and details to explain why marriage can be beneficial. She breaks it down by writing an intro explaining the importance of the top ten reasons shes states. She broadly gives ten reasons why marriage is good for you. She gives examples from how its safer for spouses and how it can it can save ones life, to how it can make you richer and even make you much more happier. She has been very convincing, and definitely changed my views on marriage.
ReplyDelete4. Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDeleteGallagher feels she has to defend marriage because it has become a waning institution. She believes that most Americans view marriage as a long term commitment filled with unhappiness, mediocre sex lives, and financial burden. She states multiple times that divorce will not bring about happiness. Gallagher believes her audience to be selfish. Her list is presented in a way that rewards the greedy, opportunistic qualities she believes her readers to have.
2.Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteI believe if she would have included some gay marriages or civil union cases it would have enhanced her essay greatly. There would deffantely would have been a difference because youd get to see that marriage is positive no matter what the circumstances may be.regardless the sex of the people getting married it would have made her essay more believable rather than how it is now its just making her opnion believable.
5. What do you believe is the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay? Explain
ReplyDeleteThe strongest argument Gallagher makes for marriage in her essay is the financial gain of marriage. Gallagher explains that men who find wives have higher salaries of up to 40%. The same is true for women, as companies are more apt to hire married women than single women. Gallagher also states the obvious- the assets of a married couple are more than those of singles. The argument is the strongest because it is the most obvious. The statistics are not manipulated to mean something else as she does in her other points.
3.The objection Gallaher has to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms is that there are two sides of this argument. One side wants to be free from the confines of being married. It seems like it is a law to be married in society which it isn't. It is like social pressure to get married because of the other side which is to protect their kid's future. What I mean by this is like what it said in the book, marriage protects children and the broad and deep costs that come with them. It all boils down to sacrifices.
ReplyDelete3. What objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms (2)?
ReplyDeleteBy limiting her study to why it’s good for you she leaves out why people really want to get married with or without children. Just because people have children together it doesn’t mean that they should be married. You should get married because you love the person not because it is good for you. So people do get married because they have a child together and in the long run neither one of them were happy and wound up getting divorced anyway.
1. Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage?
ReplyDeleteGallagher makes a sound case for marriage. She states statistics that show marriage to be a positive, healthy part of one’s life. Most of the examples are easily explained. Married people live longer because someone is nagging the other to go to the doctor. Married people make more money because there is someone else to support. Gallagher makes a good case, but it’s not that marriage is some magical reason why people live long healthy lives.
2. Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteI think that including homosexual civil unions/marriages would undoubtedly strengthen the argument. The reasons listed in the essay have nothing to do with the advantages of being in a heterosexual relationship. The benefits of marriage come from the relationship between two people. The benefits do not come because of a relationship between a man and a woman.
2. Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteIf Gallagher were to include gay marriages on the essay the focus might shift a bit to the negative side. Since not everyone out there agree to gay marriages the essay will have to include how other people treat those that are being in different than them. It already something that view as a negative by others even if it being kept in the dark, so with gay marriage it will show to other in a much more open view causing people to oppose it even more.
1). I dont think Gallagher made a completelty clear case because she did not include gay marriages as well. Although she uses examples and details on why marriage is good i think she should have included same sex marriages and also how their children live with it. I also do not think it is completely true that children who have parents that stay together lead healthier and longer lives. What if the parents hate eachother and only stay together for the kid? How will the child lead a happy life with his parents if they fight all the time behind closed doors? So thats also one thing she could have elaborated on and used and example of.
ReplyDelete1)Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage? Explain why/why not.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I read i would say yes. I say this because he's done research on marriage and found positive feedback from his research. There was no negative effects of marriage he found and all his statistics were accurate. Two of the ten reasons he pointed out would have had a great number of support from the reader. the first is more money which is a problem in todays economy and the second would probably be the happier life thing because no one wants to be miserable. in short marriage is good enough said.
1. Yes Gallagher does make a sound on why marriage is good. She explains marriage is helpful for both man and women. She said people who are maried live longer and happier lives,than people who are not. She state married poeple children do better in school and their personal lives than children who's parents are divorce. Married prople are healthy and get sick less than single poeple.They make more money and manage it better. She seem like she know lot about marriage and the benefits that come with it. Alyssa Moyeno said
ReplyDelete4. Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDeleteGallagher defends marriages because she thinks the readers have a negative outlook on marriage. She believes the people reading her essay think of marriage as a long and unhappy commitment between two people and states that divorces wont bring the people any more happiness.
2. Though Gallagher discussed only traditional heterosexual marriages, i do believe that civil unions or gay marriages do have a profound effect on Gallagher's argument on marriages. I believe that there will be no difference whether if it was heterosexual or gay marriage. The focus of the essay to explain why marriage is good for you will stay the same whether or not it is focused on either or. And even if gay marriages were included I also believe that it may broaden the examples that were given by Gallagher. The fact that many gay marriages today is much more sucessful than heterosexual marriages. With those facts, it can be used to support Gallaghers examples or reasons on why marraige is good for you.
ReplyDelete3. Gallagher’s objection to framing her arguments in “exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional” terms is that those terms seem to mislead adults. They seem to distract adults from the benefits of a long term lasting marriage. She also states that these terms tend to “overestimate the likelihood that divorce will lead to happiness for an individual.”(3) I feel that she is stating that sometimes people get married for all the wrong reasons. People, who get married simply on moral, spiritual, and emotions terms, are missing the real reasons why someone should marry. She is objects to use those terms because she is trying to show why marriage is “good” for a person, and not why people “should” get married.
ReplyDeleteWhat objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms (2)? The Objections Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms is that by doing this it misses the profound benefits that lasting marraige confers on adults.Also people will think that having a divorce will lead to greater happiness for the individual. Actually divorce makes things worse if you have children. The children are the ones suffering in the long run. Marraige is suppose to be 50/50 not eighty/twenty.
ReplyDelete1. In my opinion Gallagher made it clear that marriage is a good idea for everyone. She listed many arguments to defend her topic and great examples. She explained how it could affect your child’s life as well as yours. Gallagher does a good job of breaking everything down and showing us different reasons why marriage is good. Her reasons seem to be pretty convincing, makes the reader consider marriage more.
ReplyDelete2)Gallagher discusses only traditional, heterosexual marriage. What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay? Would it have shifted it's focus or strengthened/weakened her essay?
ReplyDeleteIf she were to include gay marriage in her paper it might have been ignored or criticized. I say this because not many people are for gay marriage. I for one dont care because it should be allowed because its just how human nature is cant really change people and keep them from there happyness. Back to the main point though, it would have weakened her paper and might lead to bigger problem even if the paper were to state gay people marrying have the same effect as straight people marrying.
4. I feel as if Gallagher thinks she has to defend marriage because of today’s society where, less and less marriages are happening. I feel as though she thinks that many people don’t know the true perks and advantages of marriage, and they base decisions on getting married on statistics of how many end in divorce. She is also a one-time single parent, so it’s clear to me that she had experienced hands on the life of a single person and a single parent. I feel as though she assumes that her readers do not know the statistics of a single lifestyle compared to a married lifestyle. I also feel as though she is enforcing why marriage is good for a person based on what a person may feel is important in life, such as money, children, happiness, and even their sexual lives. She points out facts about each topic important to a person to give them a better reasoning of why marriage is better than being single.
ReplyDelete3. What objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms (2)?
ReplyDeleteGallagher objects to the argument of “marriage is only good because of moral, spiritual, and emotional" because that is only one side of it. I agree with the objection because there are logical reasons why marriage is a healthy thing in life. It makes sense that people live longer, wealthier, happier lives. The words moral and spiritual make me think of religion. For me personally marriage and or civil unions have nothing to do with religion.
5. I personally feel that the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay is argument number two, “Your kids will love you more” (19). I feel that this is the strongest point she made in her essay because I can relate to it the most. Coming from a family of divorced parents, I can say that when my parents first got divorced, I was angry at both of them and had some resentment towards them. Now that I live on my own as a young adult, I can also agree with the fact that I do not see my parent several times a week. I sometimes can go a week or so without seeing them. I agree with this statement 100%. I feel as if my parents never divorced I may have a better and closer relationship with them than I do now that they are divorced.
ReplyDelete4. Gallagher thinks she has to defend marriage because it seems really important to her. She thinks it could benefit people’s lives. She backs it up with good evidence that the average person could agree with without much dispute. One of the presumptions that she thinks her readers have on marriage, at least the men, is that it is a financial burden. She proved that getting married increases an American male’s salary by as much as a college education. Another common assumption, for maybe both men and women, is that they will have sex less often. Gallagher proved that wrong. She said married couples are more likely to have more sex than somebody not married or is divorced.
ReplyDelete5. What do you believe is the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay? Explain.
ReplyDeleteIn my opnion the strongest argument Gallagher makes in this essay would have to be that married couples gain more out of being together rather then a single person would alone. Its true as a married couple you get more oppertunities and your not alone so its two as if your single its only one person doing it all. All her other statments on why marriage is good seem more like her personal opnion to me.
2). I think if Gallagher included homosexual marriages as well as heterosexual marriages it would have strenghthened her essay and shift a little toward the negative side. Not everyone likes or approves of gay marriage so if they read about how gay marriage affects kids and money and overall happiness they might get angry and oppose it further. If she included same sex marriages it would have expanded her amount of readers and it would have informed them about what could be the outcome of their choices whether good or bad which in turn could have helped them decide if marriage is right for them as well as straight people.
ReplyDelete4.Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDeleteShe feel she has to defend marriage because people only see the negative things that happen in marriages and not all of the good things that come out of being married. The preconceptions that she assumes all her readers have about marriage are boring sex life, no more having fun, and divorce.
2.
ReplyDeleteIf Gallagher included the other types of marrige the readers might have strayed away from the selection. She trying to make a point about a man and women marriage. There are many people who see this gay and civil marriage as morally wrong. It would have definetly weakened her argument as to why marriage is good for some of her readers. In my opinion if she would have included these types of marriage, depending on what evidence and facts she puts her argument could have been better.
3) What objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in "exclusively moral, spiritual, and emotional" terms (2)?
ReplyDeleteI think she trying to state how marriage would be in different forms. for example she says in moral terms its natural. spiritual terms its satisfying and it just bring a spiritual relief in there life. On the emotional term it hightens passion in the marriage which would lead to better sex life.
Gallagher has done a lot of reshearch on married, single and divorced people. She has review the scientific evidence on the consequences of marriage.The point that she is making makes a lot of sense. I can agree coming from a single parent home without having a father truely was hard.When thier are both parents in a home kids develope a true identity.There wasn't anything negative about marriage that she mention and i do agree.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDelete4. The reason why Gallagher might think she is defending marriage because of the decline marriage has today. With all the reasearch she might be overcoming surely shows how much higher the divorce rate has risen. I believe Gallagher focused this essay towards those who actually divorsed, as well as people who married. Because the research, Gallagher might cause her to assume that her reader's preconceptions that marriage isnt even option for them.
4) Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDeleteIn what i read she believe she has to defend marriage because people thhink there giving up a bad thing when marriage is actually really good for them. In her article she give the top ten reason why marriage should be kept listing all the good perks of marriage. The readres though think that marriage is too much trouble and instead want to remain bachelors which would have no benefits as a married couple.
6. In response to Jeff’s response to the number two question, I agree 100%. Gallagher based all of her research and statistics on a male and female relationship. I feel as though it shouldn't matter if it is a male/female relationship, a male/male relationship, or a female/female relationship. Her research should have been done on every type of relationship between two people, not just based on a male and a female relationship. If she had included all types of relationships in her essay, it definitely would have strengthened her essay. Her essay would have been more informational with many different facts and statistics about all different marriages in today’s society. I feel as though she cannot make a good enough point without researching every aspect of this marriage topic.
ReplyDelete5) What do you believe is the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay? Explain.
ReplyDeleteThe strongest argument she makes is I believe the well being of the childrens. Se states that kids dont live as long with divorce parents then as a married parents. she also say that the kids will love you more because of a parent child bond. Also she brings in violence and school into the argument saying kids would do better in school and be less violent. Shes thinking about the kids mostly in her marriage article. Its good that she cares though.
5.The strongest argument that Gallagher makes is that you will earn more money when you are married than if you was not married. She backed it up with evidence just like the other parts of her essay. I also like how she mentioned not just white wives but also black as well. The white wives with no children earned a wage premium of 4 percent, and the black wives earned 10 percent more than a single woman that was comparable. It was interesting how she wrote that the longer a man stays married, the higher his marriage premium is. It seems very reasonable to me. Married people tend to do have more money than divorced and single people.
ReplyDelete2.Gallagher discussess only traditional heterosexual marriage.What effect might including civil unions or gay marriages have on the essay.If Gallagher had disscussess gay marriages the civil union law that would have came up was children.Is it right for gay couples to rise children.Should they have the same right in marriage as heterosexual do. No I do not think if Gallagher had said something about gay marriage would have weakned the essy. Gay marriages happen more often now. Many gay couples feel they have the same rights to married as heterosexual do.Marriage is different nowadays. Alyssa said...
ReplyDelete1 In my personal opinion, Gallagher doesn’t seem to make a sound case for marriage. I think that Gallagher case is filled with crackpot and twisted fakes. Of course marred people will earn more money. There’s two people working and that’s only if they’re both working. A lot of signal and divorced people make a lot of money too.Divorce knocks four years of a child’s life bull. There is no way to positively prove that. What do you do examine the person’s dead bode and say he died young because his parents got divorced, and not because he aet 12 boxes of donuts every day.
ReplyDelete5. What do you believe is the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay? Explain.
ReplyDelete5. I believe that the strogest argument that Gallagher makes in the her essay would have to be towards the effects it can cause to children. Even in her introduction she focuses her concern that the value of marrige can slowly lead children into a dark path. She uses many examples how it can affect a childs lifestyle, explaining that it may cause them to fail out of school and to even cause them to consume illegal drugs. Gallagher not only focuses on how it can be harmful for children, she also shows how beneficial marriage would be for the children.
Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?Gallaher thinks she has to defend marriage beacuse so many people think marraige is bad. its also important to her. She was probably was raised in a household where her parents stayed together forever. In them she saw the good thing about marriage. Marraige has its up and downs but you just have sacrifice. Sacrificing is a big thing when you get married.
ReplyDelete6. @Catherine on number 4.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Catherine. This is because the marriage institution is seen as a burden as a whole. People don’t want to deal with the side stuff that comes with it. It seems like just one big investment for pretty much nothing. That’s how I feel about marriage. I think it’s a waste of time and money. It’s just one big way to show the people around you that you love a person and want to be with them. Why do we have to do that? It’s just one big business just like everything else. People have different views on marriage, but that’s just how I think about the situation. I have nothing against marriage, but I personally don’t see the point that’s all I’m saying.
Question2: A marriage should be base on love. THis was an article which mean focus was marriage and the benifits; wheather same sex or opposit sex.Even though she did not mention same sex marriages,don't mean that they could not receive a message.I feel like it would have made the article weaker because it mention starting a family and same sex will not be able to play that role.This is were the line stop, yes they can adopt but the child will not have their gens.
ReplyDelete4. Why does Gallagher think she has to defend marriage? What preconceptions about marriage does she assume her readers have?
ReplyDeleteGallagher think she has to defend marriage because according to her study there are risen rate of none marriage family and divorced. She assumes that her reader has preconception about that marriage is unneeded, that why she want to show people the benefit that it have.
5. What do you believe is the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay? Explain.
ReplyDeleteI believe the strongest argument that Gallagher makes in her essay is the benefit of money in family. The reason I choose this because I’m a realist. Money really changes a living style of a family. It’s the number one concern in everyday life, so it go above love and affectionate, those can always come later.
2 I don’t think that her there would have been much of a different even if she were to add civil unions or gay marriages to the essay. Then again I don’t really know her stands on civil unions or gay marriages. I think that it would all depend on who is reading the essay and were her stands on civil unions or gay marriages to decide if it would strengthen or weakened her essay. I personally don’t think it would weaken it if she took a positive stand for civil unions or gay marriages.
ReplyDeleteGallagher makes some very good points marriage is about sacrifice and base on living a good life. From the beginning of time people was giving in marriage;it use to be as we were born to marry but times have change.When you have someone to love it makes getting up when you dont feel good eazy.God honors Marriage because it brings about good fruit.
ReplyDelete3. What objection does Gallagher have to framing her argument in " exclusively moral, spirtiual, and emotional" terms (2)?
ReplyDeleteGallagher object that marriage is good has a framing argument because she explains marriage is good both for phyicial and spirtiual needs. people who are married take care of themselves better, have better mental health and have much better sex lives. Gallagher is only seeing it as her piont of view. They are many ways to look at marriage.
Marraige today is not being taken seriouly. People feel like if they say i do they dont have a life no more.This false feeling comes from others who were in marriage that failed.Its a good thing that this article was written to encourage people that marriage helps you have a more stronger life.It also directs the reader to buy the book "The Case for Marriage".
ReplyDeleteThe strongest argument that she has is about the kids who comes from marry homes.It can be proven that they are more well together mentality than the ones who comes from single homes. They are less likely to rob, steal, or sell drugs. People who comes from married homes usually get married also. They are more family intune.
ReplyDelete1.) Gallagher makes a strong case on why marriage is good for you because she shares great statistical knowledge on the benefits of marriage and how it can “improve” your single life.
ReplyDelete2.) I believe that including gay marriage in this essay would have shift its focus and strengthen the argument she was trying to make because it would have made her article more interesting by just sharing facts and statistical data on life in a gay marriage.
3.) Gallagher objections for framing her arguments were simply that being divorced or single is not the best decision to make. Morally, marriage is fundamentally the backbone of society in all aspects of strong family ties cooperation and teamwork. Spiritually, marriage helps to incorporate God in the equation so that you’re not only strong enough to have faith in one’s self but in your partner as well. Emotionally, marriage has the benefit of assisting couples in their time of need. To support one another mentally is important for the structure of the household and orderly conduct.
4.) Gallagher is a advocate and defender for marriage because she recognizes that family is a prime factor for children coming up in the household. 90% of the time when most people hear the word marriage their preconceptions are usually divorce or separation between the two because there is always a problem. I believe that’s why she coats marriage with a gloss.
5.) The best argument that Gallagher makes is that marriage helps with income in the household because when your married you have a lot more money circulating through the household than there would be for a single person.
Does Gallagher make a sound case for marriage? Explain why/why not?
ReplyDeleteGallaghar made perfect sound case for marraige according to my understanding that after marriage you look farward for another person who is basically attached to your life. After all day of sickness you arrive at home and someone is theren for you. Marriage is something that you take a oath to spend your whole life with one special,marriage is support for whole life.
