I agree with someone who said, it will change slowly and should change slowly. social/cultural/tradition can not be changed in small amount of time. Like someone mentioned, if we think we are very open minded person, we should act like that but at the same time respect other's feeling too. we should not try to push them too hard to agree with us. when we become parents and we still think same way as we are doing now, we can ask our childrens to marry whoever they want. our parents has given us to much, we gotta respect them as well. if they agree, fine, if not, compromise. society is changing and it wil change. But i am still not sure which society is good and which is bad. One of my friend was telling me that society we had may be 50 yrs ago was better than we have now in case of stability of a family, love, respect, trust and all. Now, each and every person talks about rights, and sometimes we might be askign for too much rights. People have a lot of rightrs here in usa, and also a lot of family problems, child custody, divorce,. i guess they can not compromise and would not like to compromise because of this rights issue. they woudl rather hire a lawyer. oh, well if we consider this society is good, then our society is bad, if we consider our society is bad, then this society is good. i am confused. can we find society in middle ground where we have all rights, and also have good family values? well then may be we human being come up with different ideas to make more complicated life style. its all about thinking.
