Religious College

Religious Colleges

Religious students who attend religious colleges are more likely to avoid trouble and are more focused then students who attend a regular college. Religious student want to remain the person they are in high school and stay true to their beliefs. They want to continue to making good decisions while attending college. By attending a religious college student’s choice not to get caught up in partying, having sex, or skipping class, which they are more likely to do if attending a regular college.

At religious college students get guidance in which administrators are mentors to students and discipline in a religious way. The administrators help students work through problems. If a student breaks a college rule they are encouraged to speak about what rule was broken and help work through why the student broke the rule. In a regular college if a student breaks a rule, they are disciplined by being suspended or thrown out of college. In a regular college you do not have all the support then you would have a religious college.

While attending a religious college there are many different dating rules. At Magdalen dating is not allowed. Student who attend Magdalen tend to get married shortly after graduation. The reason for that is during college at Magdalen you can really get to know people without the stress of dating. With the no dating rule students can focus more on their studies. A lot of the students at the college really liked the no dating rule. Students felt that no dating gave more time to really form long lasting friendships. At Patrick Henry University students cannot go on a date unless their parents gave consent to the date. At Bob Jones University there is a no physical contact between males or females. Having all the strict dating rules doesn’t mean some of the students won’t find ways around the rule.

Depending on how someone wants to live their life will help make the decision on their future. It will also help them decide on what college they will chose to attend.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is a huge issue around the world. In India domestic violence is a norm when it comes to a man beating his wife.  In India’s society it is common for a husband to beat his wife for various reasons. Woman who have a son instead of a daughter are less likely to get beaten. Woman can get beaten if they are sterilized due to their husband fearing of their wife’s cheating. In India it is ok for a man to beat his wife as long as he is a good husband. Woman get beat for cheating, if she does not do everything that is expected of her, according to the man’s standards in the house, or if the woman is not obeying her husband.

Industrialization and modernization have led to an increase of child abuse in India due to an intense completion that puts stress on a family of the middle class. Child abuse is also from a child who does not comply to a family’s rules. Child abuse can also come from with more families moving away from a joint family, then that family does not have enough support or help with the household duties which causes more stress.

In Vietnam violence is a big issue towards woman. They have two different kinds of violence, Invisible and Visible violence. Invisible violence is not physical but it is when your significant other makes you feel intimidated and makes you live in fear. Visible violence is what you can see. It is when you are being physically abused. With visible violence people can see the injuries on a woman and sometimes can cause death. When one is in a invisible domestic violence they tend to feel as though they are nothing. The man in the relationship makes the woman feel worthless in her life. He may verbally abuse you. While in a visible domestic violence a man will be angry about something that has nothing to do with the woman but takes it out on her. The man takes it out on the woman physically abusing them.

Invisible Privilege

Invisible Privilege

Privilege is often invisible by you don’t know how privilege somebody is by talking to them. Being privileged and having the necessity to live be two different things. Somebody who is privileged drives a BMW, where a less privileged person would drive an Elantra. Privileged or less privileged comes from where and how you are raised, if you were raised in higher class or a lower class.

 

Blacks, Hispanic, and lower class are more likely to be aware of privilege. Unlike the higher class, lower class knows what it is like to struggle for things that they need.

 

Andrea felt uncomfortable in Jewel’s Newark house because she was not use to the way Jewel’s family lived. Andrea grew up in a different way that Jewel did. She had things that other families like Jewel’s family didn’t have. Andrea was more uncomfortable because she didn’t understand that not everyone is as privileged as she is.

 

I think that people can overcome social differences if they choose to. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t care how much someone has then, I think you can overcome social differences. On the other hand if you do care what somebody drives, what class they are or how much money they have then I think you will never be able to overcome any social differences.
