SY321 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Exogamy, Tina Turner, Desertion
Document Summary
In the preindustrial world, marriage is seen too big a matter to be left to the young, therefore, arranged marriage takes place. Arranged marriage alliances w/ 2 families w/ similar social standing (ex. Power, assets, religion, wealth) coming together and bringing these assets together and making them larger. Love has little to do w/ this marriage (but relative not absolute) Socialization tends to prepare people for traditional gender roles. Therefore, people tend to be emotionally prepared for married life. Cultural compatibility is more important than emotional compatibility. Came to be due to the rise of liberalism ad multiculturalism. As industrial revolution gets going, the social events cause the collapse of arranged marriage. Therefore, there was more urbanization and people gave up their land. So the extended family was replaced by the nuclear family. The nuclear family has less influence on children than the extended family.
