Why marriage is unnecessary?

Why is marriage unnecessary?

Should a woman live the same man for the rest of her life? or vice versa? Is it really necessary a formal union for garnishing a natural union? Marriage is a social phenomenon that has changed according time, countries and religions adapting itself to each one of them. But it’s a phenomenon that we can only find in humans. So, is marriage really necessary? 

Let´s start from the beginning: When did this ritual start? Of course, many of the social customs of humans have their beginning in the early stages of the evolution of human society like concepts of family, religion, etc. Marriage was initially a way to ensure the reproduction and the continuation of the linage with the same couple, but with the creation of hierarchical positions, marriage took more importance to establish alliances, share territories and gain power. With the arrival of religions marriage was formalized as much as possible because it was now obligatory and permanent. The concept of one woman for each man was imposed and polygamy started to be banned in some religions and later in modern societies because it is considered more "civilized" than polygamy. We should not generalize because there are some cultures and religions (Islam) that support polygamy.

Today, with old concepts disappearing, marriage is in conflict regarding opinions and reevaluations. Undoubtedly, in the past maybe it was a good way to obtain power, money, territories, influence, etc. But today we can say marriage takes off more than it gives. Marriage has always benefitted the upper groups of the society (kings, noble men) but not the lower ones. Today with the equality of gender, race and social position the public opinion has more importance. Mainly gender equity because of the sexual revolution of women in the second half of the twentieth century, marriage consequently has lost its mainstay: the female submission.

Today women want to take control of their lives and have independence, they are interested in studies, getting a job and participate in political life for the defense of their rights. The divorce is probing that marriage is more like a formal union because a lot of people can escape now from something that was considerate perpetual. And the new concepts of relationships have arisen like free union.

Conclusion:

Marriage is a ritual, and it is not bad in that way but the meaning is very hard to follow by men and women because marriage is "lifelong" and if there is something that scares and confuses people is the concept of something bigger than their perception of time. Its not an attack for married people, but in the future we might see a more liberal perception of the union between men and women (even men between men and women between women) and its probably that marriage will go to the oblivion like other human traditions.

Reflection:

This essay was difficult because I needed to look for the correct and more neutral points of view, I tried to convince people of something but without attacking their own beliefs. The better way for do this is looking for argues in the history and try to create a future scenery in which your concept is probably or relentless. It was hard also because I felt not very sure of my argues. I confused myself with my own opinion.

Descriptive Essay.

My Dad.

I want to talk about my dad, mainly, because I think the fathers are not recognized, as they deserve. My father is obviously important for me. He is strong, hard worker, dedicated, patient, loving. He is a good father. Because he has taught me many things about work, studies and life; very important things and that is why I admire him a lot.

My dad’s name is Alfredo. He was born in 1952 in Aguascalientes. He told me that was a very good era, everything was more simple. He was born in a large family (8 brothers and 4 sisters) but he told me that was the way in those days without T.V. I look like he when he was 17 years old: middle height, brown skin and little eyes, but he is very different today: He is shorter than me but he is robust and is very strong because his whole life has had a hard work. He is a bit old now: He is 60 years old. His hair is mainly grey and a few white but he had black hair yet. His face is hard but at the same time his eyes (of a very dark brown color, almost black like mine) are full of affection. He has some health problems but is very strong physically and mentally because he does not complaint.

He works selling sliced fruit out of schools and different events like parties and celebrations like Day of the Dead or the San Marcos Fair. He starts very early in the morning before the sunrise. We have a handle car, is a rectangular base with two wheels covered by a tent, in this one my father transports the fruit during the workday. He also sell chips and ice flavored glasses, but mainly fruit. He starts the day washing the car with soap, water and chlorine, and then he accommodate the things over this: very sharp knives, syrup bottles, buckets, a cooler, etc. Then he prepares the fruit.

He sells many kinds of fruit: oranges, watermelons, melons, pineapples, jicamas, mangos, papayas, sometimes pomegranates but not frequently. I like almost all the fruits he sells because he knows how to select the best fruit. He always buys the biggest, redder and juiciest watermelons and the sweetest melons and pineapples. The jicama is tasteless but he prepares it with lemon juice and spicy/sweet chamoy and is delicious. He is a good worker, very responsible and he likes his work. But he is a better father than worker because even he finishes his work late at night he always ask us about our days and the school. He is never so tired for us.

Conclusion:

I think there are not enough good adjectives for describe my dad. He is literally a good dad: worker, loving and strict when is necessary. Try to describe him is easy but at the same time difficult because I know him but I don`t know how to write how wonderful he is with simple words. If I looked like me when he was young I hope to be like him when I grow up.

 
Refection: 

I think to write a descriptive essay is harder than a narrative essay. In the mind the whole things we think in the present are made of facts and we use to form a story (a narration) but when we need to describe something that we saw we need to use adjectives for help us to do it. The adjectives are the most important part of a description and these could be about shape, color, taste, smell, etc. And is a little hard to try to remember all of them or some of them when you need in the writing process if you don`t have enough practice.

Narrative essay: Trip to Guadalajara.

Trip to Guadalajara.

                      I will to talk about my trip to Guadalajara. It may seem like no a big deal, and indeed it is not for someone else, but it is for me.
But why a simple trip to one of the most typical cities of the center of Mèxico is so important?
Well, first of all and although, I amshed to admit , it was the first time taht had left Aguascalientes, at my 14 years!
Second and most importantly , I learned that there are not only other cities but other worlds and lifestyles near of my own town and inside my own country.
I guess that`s how feel to leave the cage after years of thinking the world is as big as your block street.


                      It all started on Saturday night, is not the most amazing day of the week. I planned my weekend: I will get up lae and after breakfast I will watch TV until the evening , in the saddest case: until the night.
But when I came home from school I found a not so typical scene: my mother packing clothes.
"Pack your things"she said. I did not ask and I did.
When I found my brother packing clothes too he told me: "We will go to Guadalajara"
At frst I did not think about that, maybe coul be a joke. But my other is not that kind of person.
That helped me realize if it were the end of the world I would be the last to be rescued by my family.
I didn`t keep much in my back pack, only a few of t-shirts and pants and shoes.
We arrived at the bus station and took our bus.


                  On the way I was thinking : Is Guadalajara far from here?
How many? Will it be like here?
I was really not looking forward to traveling.
I had heared the radio, it was then very dangerous times for travel but never nothing bad had happened to my family.
Maybe it would be a good city, or pheraps the people revive us as undesirable, I might like the city may not. A new city is a new worls when you noy go out mucho. I only wait.


                         When we arrived, it was not what I expected (at first) , typical Mexican scene, earth, brick houses, cars, etc, etc. Maybe my fears disappeared when I heared tht they also spoke Spanish (after all, what other language would they speak?). We arrived to Tonala, a very picturesque village dedicated to handicrafts. The aroma was loaded with a smell of wet earth, food and sweets. We walked through the street market seeing what was there, I focused on the food, they took me out of my house so fast that I did not eat.
We stopped for lunch at a grilled beef restaurant, I did not read the menu I just ordered. It was delicious.
After "not buying anything" and just watched we went back to the truck. "Here ends a special day" I thought. But aparently we headed north and obviously we couldn`t be coming back home.
We arrived in Guadalajara, more exactly to the Guadalajara Zoo, It was huge, I lost about 3 times. I saw many animals but that surprised the most was the polar bear. I guess the only one in Mèxico.
While walking on the streets of Guadalajara I realized that this beautiful place was mine, nothing makes me different from these people. I could go whenever I wanted or live there if I wish. Is not like I needed a visa from live in other state.
After all, it was only a bus ticket away.


Reflex.
                       Is hard at the beginning , but in the end too. In first time I don`t know what experiene was enough interesting or not boring for write it.
Even, I didn`t be very sure of this one because I guess is not funny orinteresting, etc.
çI failed the structure and the order of the main ideas because I wasn`t sure wich were main ideas and wich ones not.

WWII causes.

The World War II was the biggest and most destructive conflict in the human history. Half of American countries and almost all Europa (with its respective colonies in Africa Asia and Oceania) were implicated in the conflict even in different degrees. The war matched two factions: The Allies (France, The United Kingdom and subsequently USA and the URSS) against the Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan, mainly).

The beginning of this originated at the end of the World War I. Germany was a member of the Allies, the defeated faction in the WWI. Because of the damages caused by Germany in France during the Great War (World War I) strict conditions were imposed to the 2^nd Reich by the Entente Cordiale members. They were very specific regarding the dissolution of the German armed forces and the seizure of the natural resources and raw material as a payment to France. These regulations were included in the Versailles Pact with some annexation of territory of the old German Empire in Prussia, Poland and Africa.

Third Reich territory during the war

A growing resentment spread in German people because of the coward reaction of the Weimar Republic (the government established by the Entente) against this regulations gave the opportunity to the nationalist groups to fight for the power. The National Socialist Party of workers in Germany lead by Adolf Hitler, an ex-soldier of the WWI was one of them. The extreme and hostile tactics against the opposition went back to NSAP and Adolf Hitler in the governing party after the death of Hindenburg, the last president of the Weimar Republic. As a chancellor, Hitler dissolved the German congress concentrating all the power in himself. He could do this because he convinced the German people (with his oral ability in public presentations) the congress and the bureaucrats supported the Versailles Pact and the foreign control. No less than a year of having taken control Hitler proclaimed himself Imperial Chancellor of the Third Reich, and subsequently Fürer of the Third Reich. With his policies of Vital Space Hitler wanted to recover all the territory that the second Reich had lost in WWI AND MORE. In secrets, during the first years of his government before the war (1931-1939), he prepared and reconstructed the Wehrmacht (Germany armed forces) and developed new weapons and war machines (Stukas, U-Bots, Panzers, Panzerfaust, etc).

Adolf Hitler with his troops during a revision

In September 1939 some Polish custom agents killed in a riot some German citizens in the border of the country. Hitler saw in this the perfect excuse to occupy Poland declared the state of war to its neighbor. On 9^th September 1939, the Wehrmacht invaded Poland and encountering little resistance. Warsaw fell 3 weeks later. The United Kingdom and France declared state of war to Germany, the fascist Italy of Mussolini joined to Germany to form the Axis. Having seen the opportunity of taking control of the British colonies in the Pacific region, Japan joined the Axis and invaded Manchuria, China. Japan, wishing to establish a total control in the East-Pacific Ocean wanted to take the Philippines (at that time it was a USA colony) so the Major Hideki Töjo planned to destroy the US Navy in its ports. On December 7^th 1941, while Japanese ambassadors were discussing in the USA Congress the causes of the war, a Japanese fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, the main base of the USA Navy in the Pacific. The next day the USA declared war to Japan and the Axis, becoming an intercontinental conflict into a new World War.

The future of Germany

Conclusion.

The origins of the WWII are not only the invasion of Poland by Germany as most people think. The real origins could be found since the end of the WWI and there were a lot of difference things in different areas (economics, politics, geopolitics, militaries, etc.) that were related to create a massive conflict.

Reflection.

This was an easy essay for me, or at least a few little easier than the others because I actually knew what I writing about, I knew the topic. As an expository essay the language to use is more general than personal and it is easier to write in this way because you are really writing for anybody in specific, nor you are trying to convince anyone of anything.
