"Why" QuestionS)
~~ E'.ampl.
I Why do you think people marry?
A..nswe,.
d'l eople naturally dislike being alone. They also have
~~ curiosity about people of the opposite sex. Marriages
arranged between families are still common. However. these
days. people get married for many reasons. Some marry
simply because family members and friends are getting
married. while others live together to save money.
However, gold-diggers' marry for their partners money.
Many people slill marry because they want children. But the
majority of people marry
because they are in love
and want to stay with
each other all Ihe
lime.

F : Of course. My husband and I were dead set agaInst' our
daughter's chOice of boyfriend. Everything about him was

F : Standing on our own two feet' is what makcs us human.
M : Moybe. But chickens a nd monkeys sta nd on their own

F :Well, ~chickens - are too cowardly' to act on thcir own,
and ~ monkey-see. mo nkey-do~ is just on expression for
thoughtless imlto tlan. But being hu man means using
our brains and developing an independent attitude. lust
because we act against our parents' wishes sometimes
does not mean that we don't love them or respect
them-it just moons that we hove to live our own lives.
Questions
1. Are young people more independent of their parents than they
used to be?
2. Do we learn more from our own mistakes, Of others'?
