However, the way we treat and take care of them has changed dramatically. Instead of paying little to no attention to them and leaving them to defend themselves, we now provide food, shelter, and clothing to each child and try to find each a loving home to go to.]]> 2018-03-06 17:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238753317 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238753984 Marriage has been a popular concept since the beginning of time. However, how people choose a marriage mate has changed throughout the centuries. Some marry for love, others marry for money. I believe that arranged marriages are not successful because love does not make a strong enough foundation and because love is a changeable emotion.]]> 2018-03-06 17:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238753984 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238756717 I agree with you. It's true, people have treated orphans poorly in the past. However, although most people now treat orphans with respect, they still aren't favored citizens in our society. ]]> 2018-03-06 17:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238756717 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238920850 I think orphanages or foster care doesn't do as good as a job for caring for children as they could. Because those children are not part of a biological family it may seem as though it might not be necessary. ]]> 2018-03-06 22:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/238920850 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239290709 Almost every person who has been married can say they are or were in love with each other at one point in time. Why would 2 people waste on average 25,000 USD for a marriage they know won't last.]]> 2018-03-07 17:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239290709 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239315305 One of the most profound technological advancements in recent years has been the advent of social media. Its influence on our daily lives has been far reaching and often quite negative when viewed from a holistic lens. ]]> 2018-03-07 18:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239315305 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239320229 That is a sad, yet good point. Its a lot of money to spend on something that often times doesn't last. ]]> 2018-03-07 18:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239320229 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239321266 I understand all of your thesis except for the last sentence. It seems like in today's culture, arranged marriages are often viewed as the antithesis to love, so it doesn't make much sense to me to say that arranged marriages don't work out because of loves changing nature. If there is no love there to begin with its hard to make the case that it can negatively change. ]]> 2018-03-07 18:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239321266 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239325506 I agree with you. There has defiantly been an increased attention given to orphans over the past years and the worlds care for them has increased. ]]> 2018-03-07 18:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239325506 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239331629 That's true but as quickly as you can fall in love, you can fall out of love. If love is the primary connection between marriage mates, then once that love is gone, the marriage is practically over. ]]> 2018-03-07 18:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239331629 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239803382 Love is a changeable emotion, therefore it does not make for a strong enough foundation for marriage. Yes, love is strong but, due to the fact that it can evaporate, it is not something that can stand alone as the basis for a long-term relationship. ]]> 2018-03-08 17:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239803382 https://padlet.com/seodell/zemzwl4n4909/wish/239809190 I agree with you.

I think big expensive weddings are kind of a waste of money and time because what happens if you don't end up staying with them?
