1. What do you think is the biggest reason for the increase in the number of divorce in Korea compared to just 20 or 25 years ago? Discuss each of these possible factors. Tell why you think so.
★Korean women becoming more independent
Right. In the past, women didn't work, so they should depend on their husbands. They had no money and no job, so they could not divorce. However, these days, many women make money by themselves. They have enough money to live alone, so they divorce.
★ Korean society becoming more liberal in their thinking about divorces
Yes! Korean society is really changed. Many TV dramas dealt with the lives of divorced men and women, and sometimes medias like newspapers worship their cool lives!
★ Young couples rushing into marriage too fast
Right. Our generation's views of love and sex are changed. Some people never mind about sleeping with a strangers and some people don't care of contraception. When young women have an unwanted pregnancy, then the young couple would marry. If there courting period is too short, they could not know each other deeply, and they would divorce.
★ Meeting people online in Internet chat rooms
I don't know well about the culture of the internet chat rooms, so I have never thought about that kinds of stories. However, just a few minutes before, I saw a news about that on the internet accidentally. In brief, the story is a husband did sex with a chatting pal, and the wife knew it and got mad. Also, she chatted in Internet chat rooms, and slept with a man. The wife was caught in the act of adultery by her husband. Also, the family was destroyed
★ The change from arranged marriages to today's "love" marriages
In my parents generation, many people do arranged marriages. My parents did love marriages, but many of my friends' parents did arranged marriages. I don't know why they did it a lot, but people do it these days, too. Some people who could not find proper partner in their nearby or some people who are very rich, so if they want to find a partner who also very rich, then they register for matchmaking agencies. In my case, I'm not a rich and I'm not a beauty, so I don't need to register that because I can find a man who are in my normal class.
People think divorce is not so serious problem these days, that's why it is increased.
