The Change in Marriage Ceremonies and Marriage Social Structures in Latin America Before and After the Spanish Invasion and Introduction of the Catholic Church (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

This is a 5 page paper discussing the change in marital ceremonies and structure before and after the Spanish invasion and the introduction of the Catholic Church in Latin America. The traditional marriage ceremonies and marriage social structures which occurred in the communities of the Indians of Latin America before the arrival and the instigation of the Catholic Church by the Spaniards were vastly different than those which occurred after the invasion of the Spaniards. Firstly, traditional Indian marriages were organized by matchmakers and arranged by extensive negotiations by the adult family members. The ceremonies were performed by the local priests without words or involvement of the couple or their families. Marriages were based on alliances between families for political reasons and most often, the couple did not know each other before the union. Marriages were allowed between close cousins, and divorces and polygamy were common practices. After the Catholic Church came to Latin America, matchmakers and family members were not allowed during the pre-marital organization of the ceremony. This took place between the couple and the clergy who would perform the ceremony in the Church. Couples were encouraged by the Catholic Church to marry for love as they were not allowed divorce or polygamy. Family members were encouraged to remain out of the affairs of the couples and couples were told to come to the Church for any counseling in family matters. Previous to the Spanish invasion, married couples may have lived in nuclear families, in extended families, or often, the wives would remain with their own family. After the Church organized the marriage, couples were encouraged to set up their own house away from that of their families’. The structure of the communities and family social alliances were no longer considered valid in regards to marriage in the rules of the Church. In addition to the sacrament of marriage, couples were also required to have the sacrament of baptism before they were allowed to marry in the Catholic Church which required yet another change in traditional ceremony.

A Comparison of the Ideas of Marriage in Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

This is a 5 page paper comparing marriage in Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” and Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women”. In a comparison of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” (1879) and Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” (1792), Ibsen tells the story of an unequal relationship in the marriage of Nora and Torvald; an inequality which Wollstonecraft states shouldn’t exist in a marriage. For Wollstonecraft, a marriage is a social contract in which both partners are equal in their education and commitment to the education of the children and the betterment of the social and public life of the state. Without this equal commitment and mutual respect, the education of the children, a priority for the wife, will suffer and it will also lead to an eventual demise in the strength of the ties which exist between the social and public life of the state. Nora and Torvald’s marriage does eventually break down because of the inequality which does exist in the relationship with Nora having little or no control over her own life or the lives of her children’s. Another relationship within “A Doll’s House” which is more consistent with the ideas of Wollstonecraft does exist between Mrs. Linde and Krogstad. Their relationship is built on mutual respect, affection and the equality they offer each other in regards to their hard work and business matters. From Wollstonecraft’s perspective, their relationship would be one that is more consistent with that described in her “Vindication”. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' And Ann Petry's 'The Street': Marriage (10 Pages, 119.5 USD)

10 pages in length. Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' and Ann Petry's 'The Street' all address the issue of marriage in very different ways. While all three stories speak about the bonds of matrimony in one way or another, it is not actually the marriage, in and of itself, upon which the tales focus. Rather, each author carefully yet quite effectively touches upon marriage, its meaning within the social backdrop, as well as the requirements necessary to maintain its existence; however, these stories delve much deeper into the aspect of marriage than what merely resides on the surface. It is through intense character examination that the reader is able to see beyond the marital fa?ade to a more realistic place where the authors' protagonists inevitably dwell. The writer discusses the importance marriage plays in each one. No additional sources cited.

Same Sex Marriage (8 Pages, 95.6 USD)

An 8 page research paper that offers an overview of the "gay" marriage debate. In his 2005 State of the Union Address, President George W.
