Today we talked about many kinds of weddings and how they are celebrated.
All this is interesting but the real question is. "What does marriage mean in a specific culture?" Is it an arrangement between families? Is it for business purposes? Does it lift a family's rank in society? Is it only for love? For the making only of children? For the making of a country's future citizens?
Today's Homework:
Do you think Japan is a full modern society when it comes to love and marriage? Are husband and wife truly best friends or do they just respect each other and have relationships outside the marriage? Is it a women's duty to have a baby? Which seems like the purpose Japanese marriages. If Japan is truly modern, why are there still arranged marriages? This is a foreign concept in America and most see this as an old tradition. How can you explain the omiai as part of Japan's culture today?
