week5

As our technology moves fast people adapt to change. There are many differences in our culture today before parents in the old age choose the spouse of their child this is called fixed marriage. The parents choose their spouses because of many reasons one of this is if both parents are rich and they want the husband or wife a rich person too for security purpose. this setting was very common before. But today as time goes by, parents become more understanding to their children in our generation.nowadays, children have more freedom in choosing what they want. We, the children of our genaration have many opportunities and opions to choose from. In path we want to take for our future goals parents are more supportive to their child today.

Another changes from one generation to another is how men and women start end establish a relationship. Before it is neccessarry that a man courts a woman first before having a realtionship. He must prove to the family that he is worthy to have the girl's hand. He will undergo different challenges that will prove how much effort and love he will exert to prove that he is worthy. But now on our generation the theme of courtship change and becamoe vague. Most of the men did not believe in courtship anymore. As long as they like each other they will be together. And sometimes in other cases women are to ones who court men. Because they say that it doesnt matter anymore who will do the first move. But for me with my bf. We started as friends before we end up together. We've been friends long enough to be able to see each others attitude. We didnt have any courtship as our basis it just happened.

Lastly, weeding and after weeding realtionship. Before aas i have mentioned earlier weddings are fixed. As young as a child they already set the spouse of their child. What is simmilar today and before is that the "pamamanhikan" is ubtil now relevant and still used in our society wherein the family of the the man will ask permission and ask the hand of the girl form her parents. The after wedding relationship is different from before. Women are usually housewives and doesnt interfere with any transactions or business his husband have. All she nust do is to ssaty in the house and take care of their children. But nowadays, women have the right to have a decent job even thogh thay are married. I think with this setting both husband and wife become more intact and together because they are helping each other to give the family a healthy living.
