“In some cultures, parents arrange the marriages of their children. How do you think this would work in today’s American society?”
The culture of marriage arrangement in American is not applicable to the current generation. One of the factors that will deter this culture today is the technological development. The youths of this generation mostly meet their spouses over the internet through social media, and this does not give room for the marriage to be arranged to them. On the same note, most of the ladies and men reach their maturity age when they are in a higher learning institution, and that is where the marriage issues are set in the absence of the parents. On the contrary, in case the marriage arrangement is made; it will not last since the two have been dating other people that they fell in love with before their marriage was arranged.
