For the most part, thanks to the strong Christian overtones blanketing our country (God bless you, Charlie Brown), when a person is asked to picture their perfect life they usually imagine a life that grants them the opportunity of health, follow their dreams, go to school if that's what they're into, find something that makes them truly happy, and ultimately find a love partner that they adore and get married, have 2.5 children with them and a beautiful home with a golden retriever named Rover. In present times, Western cultures are each day warming up to the idea of eastern cultures’ more free vision of relationships in the rest of the world. Monogamous relationships are more and more being viewed as insipid and bland things in life, and the idea of polygamy is not as shocking as it once was, as far as western beliefs go. This, however, could be the window to ethical and moral disarray within our country itself, since the strong old-timing virtues that this nation stands upon are not yet gone, and many Americans deeply frown upon the newly acquired insensibility of the people towards the idea of marriage or relationships in general. Understandably, each form of public opinion strives to sway society in their own way when an issue such as this overlooks the people. I don't expect to think that this page will be unbiased, nothing is, not really. With a little luck, however, it will help to...dare i say raise awareness? Better yet, just give readers some food for thought.
