For example, families became more diverse, same-sex couples are more common, and intercourse before marriage resulting in an increase in single mothers, meaning kids were started to be born out of wedlock. Which caused womens to be more independent. These changes started to happen more and more after the World War II, when womens started to notice their independent capabilities, and wanted to stand up for their rights to…

Same Sex Marriage and the Church of England Introduction When talking about same sex marriages, reference is often directed to gay and lesbian marriages or unions. The debate on same sex marriages has often attracted heated responses from concerned quarters. The key factor of contention, as research affords, is whether or not same sex marriages should be legalized, seeing that marriage has always been considered to be a fundamental institution within the society.

Overview Same-sex marriage is a highly controversial topic of discussion spreading from communities to parliaments and governments, and has become increasingly recognised all around the world over the past few years. Since 2001, many countries have passed bills to legalise same sex unions and provide them with equal rights, and then years later have fully legalised gay marriage, the first being The Netherlands (2001), however Australia is not one of those countries. Gay marriage and obtaining…

The marriage between genders of the same sex has been under hot debate frequently during the last few years and it wasn’t until recently that the U.S Supreme Court Ruled that States do not have the right to ban same-sex marriage. Although the voting between the justices were close, 4 votes against and 5 in favor, I believe that they have made the appropriate decision. The law should provide a sense of equal dignity to all people following it. People shouldn’t have to spend their life unmarried,…

Same sex marriage is increasing at a steady rate, and with this rise comes the inevitable retaliation of religious political officials, namely Kim Davis. Her decision to refuse marriage licenses to same sex couples was unwarranted, as it is not her decision to make. Davis’s decision sparked a massive debate within the U.S., while also revealing that religion still plays a significant role in the underlying function of the U.S. government. Even with Davis’s religious freedoms noted, she is…

argument to fall short. In my analysis of Pampillonia's essay "The Benefits of Single-Sex Education", I will not be focusing on the problems of her transitions or paragraph structure, but instead on the way that she presents her information. The author not only used her sources inappropriately, but also did not present her own unique point of view which led to a very biased feeling argument on the benefits of single-sex education. In my own research for the Exploratory essay, the best sources…

Debating Same-Sex Marriage is a dialogue between John Corvino and Maggie Gallagher but this summary will exclusively focus on the pro same-sex marriage argument of John Corvino. John Corvino is a highly-respected philosopher at Wayne State University. Primarily his focus tends to be on ethics, equality, sexuality, and freedom. While Corvino is an open homosexual man he does not allow that bias to cloud his argument. In a somewhat Socratic method he deconstructs other arguments using a means of…

The question of whether or not legalizing same-sex marriage causes damage to traditional marriage and society is the center of the debate between Robert P. George, who is against same-sex marriage and Andrew M. Koppelman, who is in support of it. In their written debates, they lay out some interesting observations and claims to support their subservient views. Therefore, I intend to summarize their arguments and follow up further upon the wider question of whether religious morality or any set…
