Which one do you agree with more? Julia Casper – getting divorced for the sake of children The only surprising thing about divorce is that it does not happen more often. What people want froma marriage may be the same when they get married, but, as we all know, people can change. What he wants may be very different from what she wants five years down the line. Very often, men have the attitude of “She looks after me and she is there when I want her, but I have my own life.“ Women, on the other hand, think, “He is my best friend, I want him to share my interests, my emotions and my life.“ One or both of the partners begins to feel trapped. They start to live separate lives, which results in tension, arguments and battles, which then also has a negative effect on the children if there are any. So, what is the point of staying together? It's better for children to grow up in a relaxed, loving environment with one parent than in a tension-filled home with both parents. Of course, it's better to avoid splitting up – it hurts everyone, especially the children – but if a marriage is over, it's best to accept the situation and move on before harm is done. Adapted from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues. Thomson, Heinle, pp. 16. Sue Hardcastle – staying together for the sake of the children Too many people see the divorce as the easy way out. I admit that in some cases it may be necessary – for example, if your partner was physically or mentally abusing you. Getting divorced should be absolutely the last option. It's not just a lifestyle choice. Part of the problem is that people seem to have an impossible idealistic way of marriage. They expect love, romance and excitement to fill their lives all the time. But the facti s, married life is not always perfect love and harmony. There will be arguments and disagreements. It is boring at times, and especially when children come along, it can be hard work! You've got to be willing to make the effort to make a relationship work. Itis this effort which makes marriage a rich and satisfying experience. And what example is it to children if you decide to split up? What message does it give? “When things get difficult, you can just quit.“ It's no surprise those parents divorce often get divorced themselves. How can they believe in the possibility of a permanent relationship if the people they most trusted could not do it? TASK 3CMark the sentences below with “S“ if they say what Sue says and “J“ if they are what Julia says. 1 People expect too much from a marriage. 2 Children can experience negative things in a bad marriage. 3 Children whose parents split up can find it difficult to trust other people later in life. 4 Living with one parent can be better than living with both. 5 You should not give up just because a relationship is difficult.

TASK 8B Read the article and underline anything you think is a good argument for or against gay marriages. LET'S GET MARRIED “We have a mortgage together, we have a cat together, we're no different from the neighbours, so why can't we get married?” one gay man told reporters outside the Vermont courtroom in the United States. A large group of gay couples were at the court to hear whether the state would change the law and allow same-sex marriages. Many expressed their frustration at not being allowed to get married. “We want to get married for the same reason as everyone else – we're in love.” A woman campaigner for gay rights said, “Why do people want to stop gay people getting married? It makes no difference to them, but it makes a huge difference to a gay couple who want to make a public commitment.” A spokesperson for a traditional family organisation said, “If we start to re-define what a marriage is, where do you draw the line? Why not say two men and a woman can get married, or three women perhaps?” Taken from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues. Thomson, Heinle, pp. 32. TASK 8C Discuss the following views of same-sex marriages. What views are closest to your own? 1 Gay marriage? Why not? If two people want to make a lifetime commitment to each other, they should be allowed to. 2 It doesn't matter that they are gay. They've been together for 15 years. They should have exactly the same rights as a normal couple. What is normal anyway? 3 Marriage between a man and a woman is natural. If marriage stops being natural, where will it all end? If two men can marry, why not three or four? 4 Marriage is for the creation of children. Gay parners can't have children so they shouldn't be allowed to get married. 5 I don't care if they want to get married or not. I just wish it wasn't all over the newspapers. 6 I don't believe in marriage anyway, so it's not really an issue for me. Taken from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues.

A husband and wife expressed concerns about their children being raised by a gay couple A couple has been blocked from adopting their two foster children after expressing worries about the children being brought up by a gay couple. The husband and wife, who have not been named, have looked after the young children for about a year. But when they expressed an interest in adopting their foster children, they were told that a gay couple was considered to adopt them. They were shocked to hear the news and thought it was a joke. The practising Christians, who have biological children, then formally applied to adopt the two foster children. However the council rejected the application, saying that their views about gay parenting were worrying and could be harmful to the long-term needs of the children. The couple however thinks that a move to a new family could put the children under emotional stress. The foster father had even said it would be hard to explain the possibility of having gay parents to one of the children, who was "waiting for a new mummy." The couple has now written to the council to protest against the decision. They said that they had "not expressed homophobic views, unless Christian beliefs are, by definition, homophobic", adding: "We are Christians and we expressed the view that a child needs a mother and a father. We expressed our views in a modest way based on Christian principles we believe". "We love everyone (regardless of sexual orientation) and we love the children and believe that they would benefit from the foundation offered by a mother and a father. The decision appears discriminatory to us and not related to the children's needs. The children love us: we love them. All the reports show that we are a loving, caring and stable family. What more could a child need?" Asked how he would react if one of the children came out as gay, the husband said: "It is hard to accept, but we would accept it." The foster parents had previously received good reviews and been praised for their "lovely care and warmth" towards the children. Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting their protest, said: "This couple's viewpoint is lawful and mainstream."

[DEL: :DEL] [DEL: Ultrasound scan image :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] The abortion debate asks whether it can be morally right to terminate a pregnancy before normal childbirth. Some people think that abortion is always wrong. Some think that abortion is right when the mother's life is at risk. Others think that there is a range of situations in which abortion is morally acceptable. [DEL: :DEL] Picture taken from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/ Text adopted from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/ [DEL: :DEL] Abortion is a medical operation in which a developing baby is removed from a woman's body so that it is not born alive. Definition taken from: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/abortion There are two key adjectives used in the debate about abortion. Pro-life refers to a belief that pregnant women should not be allowed to have an abortion. A person holding these views may also be referred to as a pro-lifer. The adjective pro-choice is on the other hand used to say that pregnant women should be able to decide whether to have an abortion or not. TASK 10B Different countries view abortions differently. The following text refers to the situation in one of the US states. What about the father? A man has successfully managed to prevent his former girlfriend from having an abortion – at least for the time being. The clinic where the operation was due to take place agreed yesterday that they would not continue with the operation until further medical tests had taken place. Stepehen Curtis, 24, took legal action against the clinic, saying that the termination was against the Abortion Act rules because only one doctor was consulted instead of two, and other checks on the physical and psychological state of the woman had not taken place. Mr Curtis took the legal action because he disagrees with abortion. His victory is not final, however, as there is nothing to stop the woman going to another clinic. He hopes to be able to persuade her to change her mind. Taken from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues. Thomson, Heinle, pp. 21. TASK 10C Who and what should a pregnant woman consider when thinking about an abortion? Discuss in pairs what a woman should think about when considering an abortion. TASK 10D DISCUSSION. Work in pairs or small groups and decide whether you agree or disagree with the statements below. 1 It should be the woman's right to choose. Ultimately, it's her body and so it's her decision alone. 2 If you are mature enough to make a baby, then you are mature enough to take care of it. 3 Abortion is for the irresponsible. 4 I believe all life is sacred and so abortion is a criminal act to me. 5 With so many other options, like adoption, I don't see why an abortion is necessary. 6 I don't agree with late-term abortions, but I think the so-called “morning-after pill” is basically OK. 7 If abortion is illegal, it only means more backstreet abortions will happen and that dangerous for the women concerned. Taken from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues. Thomson, Heinle, pp. 21. TASK 10E DISCUSSION. Here are some arguments used by the ProLife Alliance in the UK. What is your reaction to these arguments? Your life is your mother's body started at conception. Your heart started to beat 3 weeks after conception. Your brain waves could be detected at 5 weeks. Your organs were all formed at 10 weeks. Your hearing was perfect at 16 weeks. Over 180, 000 abortions are performed in Britain each year. Abortion is the most common operation in the UK. 97% are of healthy babies. 90% are for social rather than medical reasons. Taken from: MacAndrew, R. & Martínez, R. (2001). Taboos and Issues. Thomson, Heinle, pp. 21. TASK 10 F Look at the quotes and classify them either as a pro-life statement or a pro-choice statement. A Like it or not, abortion is an important part of birth control for many women. Abortions save millions of families from the stress and unhappiness caused by unwanted pregnancies. B Why should the child pay for the mistakes of the parents? C It seems to me that people who are against abortion are interested in simplifying life. The unborn child is a simple symbol – good, new and full of promise. But life is not simple. D Looking at my child I think of the one that we lost another who died through our "choice". That's also now very hard to get my head around. E A friend is going to have a baby at the same time I would have been. It's difficult watching her grow and not thinking about our own child ..... but I still believe it was the right choice. F I always knew I was and am not made to be a mother. I simply lack the "mother-gene". G Abortion is a method of birth control? Seriously, we live in a world where you can get rid of anything so easily, even human life. H Fearing you might not have "enough love" is not a good enough reason to terminate a potential human being.[DEL: :DEL] Quotes adapted from: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34966165, http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34962532 Pro-life statements Pro-choice statements TASK 10G Write one pro-life statement and one pro-choice statement.
