Marriage/Divorge or Ageism
Choose one of the Following:
Marriage/Divorce: Read about the changing trends in marriage and divorce rates since the 1970s in the United States. Think about and discuss the following: Is the strength or health of families in decline? Should the legal system impose more requirements before getting married or make it more difficult to obtain a divorce? Do we need to incentivize marriages more? What can (or should) the United States government do to better families and marriages in American society and why?
Ageism: Ageism is described as discrimination against older people. Although some people argue ageism can also be targeted toward younger people. Do you believe the United States is ageist? How do we treat and care for our elders compared to other cultures/nations? Should ageism get the same amount of attention as other isms in popular news media? Discuss specific examples youve experienced, witnessed, or read about to support your thoughts.
