The Differences Between the Gender's

-
Men and women are different in many ways. Men tend to be stronger, while women tend to be gentler. These differences appear early on in life. Multiple people have wondered whether these differences cause inequality. They also raise the question of whether they come naturally, or if they were taught in childhood. Gender is an ever increasingly controversial subject. There are constant arguments about equality between men and women.   Many women are active in the movement of feminism. They believe that women are completely equal to men and should be treated as such. Feminism was discussed in a video I watched recently. One portion of the video particularly stood out to me. A video had been made of firefighters in training. It was very obvious that the women struggled much more than the men. Most women couldn’t set tall ladders against the side of a building, climb walls, or chop wood. After the making of this video, some firefighter training was forced to ease up on the strengt...

Family Theories

-
The world is lined with different theories; some scientific, some mathematical, and some even occur in every day situations. Social scientists use theories as well. In the field of marriage and family, there is no single theoretical explanations. Yet, four theories are used most commonly.

The Importance of Teaching your Children

-
The human body is incredible. Both males and females can do so many amazing things. One such thing is sexual intercourse. Sex is a beautiful thing when performed in the bonds of marriage. Yet, it often occurs in relationships outside of marriage or is highly abused. This can cause multiple problems physically, and mentally. Diseases can be transmitted, people who were abused with sex can have a fear of it even when they get married, and teenagers can end up getting pregnant because they did not truly understand the consequences of their actions. For these and many other reasons sex is a hard subject to address. Despite its being hard it is an extremely essential subject to talk about. Married couples must discuss it with one another, and, when they have children, it is critical that they teach their children about it.                If children are not taught about sexual topics it can be highly damaging to them...
