CURRENTLY VIEW OF THE LOVE

In the developed world, people understand the love like the starting point for every monogamous sexual relation. However, in other countries around the world, several different ideas about the importance of love in the marriage exist; even they wonder about the existence of love.

Tahitian aborigines and indigenous from Kalahari, where there’s no sexual repression, don’t recognize the romantic love, because they have always thought that’s the way to no die without issue.

Eastern traditional cultures consider people’s identity come from their family. When Orientals talk about a woman, they are normally thinking about her like a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a wife, a mother or a worker, but they are almost never thinking about her like a full member.

It is virtually the same with the man’s concept. When people are involved in that context, they don’t care about romantic love at all, but they pay attention to the family’s wishes to chose a couple, a wife.

      

Indian and Arabian traditional cultures give more importance to the family and the social laws than to the personal feelings, and they sometimes believe women are less valuable than men even that women are men’s possessions.

Indian, African and South-American children’s weddings are decided by their parent before they have been born, and kids are married when they are still small.

Also royal and rich families worry about their finances to determine the children’s marriages.

Occasionally, few societies like Indian, Buddhist and Japanese ethnicity, for example, bear the astrology in mind when it comes to establishing wedding engagements. And real love keeps aside.

The information above is true, but it is also true that contemporary Western customs have influenced on other cultures. For example, the minority immigrant cultures composed of Vietnamese people, in the USA, and of Hindu and Pakistani people in UK, mean differences in their attitude about romantic love in the marriage. Generally, like result of that, tension takes place between major members of the family, more faithful to the traditions, and younger generations, who wish to have fiancés and fiancées.

In addition, Western view of love has incorporated a new outlook about homosexual people. They are almost completely accepted by the other people; more commonly, by young people. Although, in fact this reaction depends on the diverse cultures and ethnics’ approbation, and it is repressed in accordance with the orders enacted by the law in the different countries which, at the same time, agrees with the religion in many regions.

Some cultures think offspring is the main reason for a couple to stay together, so they focus their union in the fertility. In few Center and Eastern African countries, women aren’t allowed to marry until they show they can become pregnant (no matter whose is this male action).

In general, rituals of fertility entail the bride exposure to as many as possible reproduction issues, like babies, seeds, roots, old magic stones and springs. A traditional ceremony consists of handle fruits with many seeds like figs and pomegranates. Fish and hens’ eggs also seem a fertility fostered. And few people suppose that some items are able to high the women’s fertility.              

   

Nowadays, we always usually represent out feeling and our concept about love in text and film supports to spread it for all over the world.
