Marriages Often Contain Economic Components and in Some Cases May

question 76

Essay

Marriages often contain economic components and in some cases may be arranged by parents or families; however, some second generation immigrants growing up in the United States are often conflicted on this practice. While their parents may have had an arranged marriage, second or third generation immigrants are often confronted with or are surrounded by concepts of romantic love. Discuss how generational differences among immigrant communities may result in children challenging their parents' attempts to arrange their marriages.
