Why do people create rites and rituals?

Jenit Crisitina Benjumea | 28/08/2013

Most people create and perform rites and rituals for meaning and
symbolic value they have on the lives of every one of them. This rites
and rituals integrate a system of beliefs based in a celebrations
group that people do (purification, consecration, thanksgiving,
remembrance), thinking that several things can happen or no happen:
protection, healing, love... People need someone or something to
believe in order to have faith and create myths about what is good or
bad, what you must to do and how you must to do that

Rites and Rituals

Martin Tobon | 27/08/2013

I think it is necessary to keep celebrating rites and rituals because they make us feel we are part of something. They help us identify ourselves.

Re: How much impact will it have?

Dairon | 05/09/2013

1. This topic is important for society because is a paradigmatic change in the way as people see the family who is the basic core of society.

2. Because people always has thought the family as the union of a man with a woman, and the change of this concept doesn't easy.

3. The society must be more toleran with the difference

4. I think that legalization is part of the acceptance of this cultural change; however, this kihn of union is a fact.

5. Because straight people must think that exists others lifestyle and they don't have always the reason.

6. I think that in ancient testament there are mencion to sexual relationship between pairs of same sex; however, don't has mencion to marriage.

Re: Re: How much impact will it have?

Martin | 06/09/2013

Thanks Dairon

It is true this type of marriage means the society is moving away from certain paradigms.Nevertheless, the problem continues because there is fear. Would it be the first step to reduce human population because same sex couple will not have procreate and adoption seems not to be an option. The call you make toward being tolerant is nice and sounds interesting but the difference in this case implies that the people start changing vocabulary, social interaction, and education at the same time.

One of the points to take into account is that in history there is not a record about this situation. Why if this has always existed marriage was never an option in any civilization?

Re: How much impact will it have?

Jenit Benjumea | 06/09/2013

1. How important is this topic for the society?

In my opinion, this is a very important topic for the society because nowadays there are many homosexual people who want to have the same rights that heteroxesual people in all marriage aspects, including a family constitution between them.

2. Why is it controversial?

This is controversial because it is something new in the society nad there are different perceptions about this topic: religious beliefs, government and social ethics, also because the society have a divide opinion around same sex marriage.

3. How will the society change when this type of union be legalized?

If the same sex marriage is legalized this situation can have many changes in our society because homesexual couples could access to the whole rights and benefits that heterosexual couples have. Also, they could constitute a family and to be same in front of the rest of people.

Re: Re: How much impact will it have?

Jenit Benjumea | 06/09/2013

4. Does legalization mean acceptance?

No always, because the goverment can legalized the same sex marriage, but many people won´t accept this situation.

Re: Re: Re: How much impact will it have?

Jenit Benjumea | 06/09/2013

5. Why do straight people have to care about this topic?

They don´t have to care about this topic, because it no affect their life, only they must respect the sexual orientation of the other people.

Re: Re: How much impact will it have?

Martin | 06/09/2013

Hello Jenit.
If we assume that the society will change as soon as this type of marriage is accepted and that they can become a family and apparently there will not be any impact in the way the society is or the way people interact, or any at all. Why do people worry so much about it? Should not they just wait and start getting married so people get used to it and see it as something as normal as it is the straight marriage?
