<\/p>\nHello again, <\/p>\n
Here you are a text about the pros and cons of mixed-race couples. Try to get key ideas to discuss in class. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Pros and Cons<\/u><\/span><\/strong> One of the key elements for a happy interracial marriage is acceptance.Acceptance?<\/em> Yes, acceptance. Interracial marital couples tend to be more understanding, empathetic, and tolerant towards people of other races and cultures. Children from interracial families also tend to be more accepting towards other races, religions and cultures. These children are more willing to embrace \u201cdifferences.\u201d In fact, they tend to view these \u201cdifferences\u201d as assets, rather than disadvantages. Moreover, these children tend to be objective towards new ideas, beliefs, and practices. They learn early on not to \u201cjudge a book solely by its cover.\u201d <\/p>\n On the flip side, interracial couples and biracial children tend to experience high levels of discrimination, depending on where they live. People, who do not believe in \u201crace-mixing,\u201d may taunt, criticize, degrade, bully, discriminate against, and\/or emotionally\/physically harm those in interracial relationships and\/or families. It is important to note that although many have accepted interracial relationships and biracial children as a normal part of mainstream society, there are those, who are staunchly against it. These individuals may have grown up in a different era, or they may have had a \u201cbad\u201d experience with someone of another race or culture, regardless, it is important to be alert and cautious around these individuals, if you are in an interracial relationship and\/or family. <\/p>\n Genetics<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A \u201cpro\u201d of interracial marriage is that when two individuals from different races create children, the results can be unique and beautiful. In other words, the children may inherit the \u201cbest\u201d of each parent. For instance, if a woman of Swedish descent pro-creates with a Hispanic male, they may genetically create a child that has brown\/tan skin, blue eyes, and long, slightly wavy brownish-blond hair. To sum it up – when races are combined (blended together), children can greatly benefit. On the other hand, every race has its own unique diseases and illnesses (ailments that are more prevalent in one race then another one). These diseases and illnesses can be detrimental when combined together. Biracial children face an increased risk of developing diseases that are common in each individual race. <\/p>\n History & Cultural Traditions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Yes, you guessed it \u2013 history and cultural traditions play a significant role in many interracial marriages. When you are in an interracial marriage, you are \u201cencouraged\u201d to learn more about your spouse\u2019s race and culture. If you are not interested in these factors, then your marriage may not last. Why? <\/em>Well, because your spouse\u2019s race and culture (i.e. religion, beliefs, values, etc.) are an integral part of your spouse as a human being. If you cannot accept his or her race, culture, etc., you will never be able to fully accept him or her as a person or spouse. To ensure marital success, you will need to embrace your partner completely. View it as learning something new (i.e. language, religion, belief system, cultural traditions and practices, etc.). To sum it up – if you open yourself up to your spouse\u2019s world, you will be a \u201cbetter\u201d person for it. <\/p>\n Parenting Styles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, some interracial marital couples experience differences when it comes to parenting styles. It is important to note that single race marriages also experience conflicts when it comes to parenting, however, parenting styles linked to racial and\/or cultural practices and traditions may be more varied and pronounced. For example, an Asian partner may practice an authoritarian (i.e. formal, strict, and disciplined) parenting style, while a Polynesian partner may practice a more relaxed, laid-back parenting style. Both parenting styles most likely stem from childhood experiences (i.e. how they were raised), but the differences can cause clashes in interracial marriages. The best way to handle parenting style conflicts is to focus on \u201ccompromising\u201d in the areas that you disagree on, and \u201ccoming together\u201d in the areas that you actually agree on. Once again, the key element is \u201ccompromise.\u201d To sum it up – practice a \u201ccombination parenting style\u201d that encompasses both races and cultures. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello again, Here you are a text about the pros and cons of mixed-race couples.
