Divorce Has Been “Evolving ”

After Charles Darwin has formulated the theory of biological evolution, an entirely brandnew world emerged in front of human beings. People, being proud and exhilarated, reap the benefits of various sorts of evolutions ranging from scientific technology, biology to anthropology and psychology, which comes out undoubtedly by virtue of society’s development. Unfortunately, not all the evolutions are going on the track of sound progress and making for economic boost. Instead, they fall victims of dramatic change in terms of culture value and morality. Divorce issue just escapes no way from it.

In ancient China, from the traditional perspective, people equated divorce to vicious immorality. Even after China’s liberation, it was still a dominant faith among the public within several decades. No matter who proposes divorce, man or woman, will be strongly condemned for their self-absorbed course of actions. To make things worse, discrimination and pressure could possibly befall them for their rest of life. Then they stand scant chance of cashing in on their previous reputation. If you ask your grandparents how toxic divorce could be, they will worn you of not even thinking of it for a second

when you get married, in a serious tone. Viewed this way, divorce, to a large extend, has something to do with families. A notion that divorce was portrayed as terribly as Big H was pervasive during 60 and 70s, for marriage largely reflected family image. A “good ” family composed of one pair of “good ” couples by no means got involved in divorce troubles. They supported each other, cared for each other, passed away with the other holding his or her hands firmly.

More than family image concerning morality, it was the follow-up problems that lay at the heart of divorce controversy. Psychological unbalance, physiological change, financial issue, child rearing and education problem, in various degree, all exert large pressures on single parents. Social discrimination and criticism was not easy to put up with.

With the reform and opening policy covering our nations, China has been undertaking changes not only in the economic fields, but also ideology areas. In most western countries, divorce no longer exits simply eliciting negative impact. Instead, people would rather live another better-off and perspective future without constant quarrels or domestic violence away from the family than keeping

relations under the shadow of family harsh disharmony. Therefore, divorce turns up as an option of freedom. The foreign notion held out the shift in the ideological domain among Chinese people. We begin to be more sympathetic and tolerable to divorce. For example, people with unsuccessful marriage dare to go to Divorce Office to settle down issues instead of keeping it in secret. People gradually believe that confining themselves to unhappy marriage is to strip of their pursuit of human rights. Secondly, as economy level keeps progressing, decent jobs and high salaries make single parent more capable of supporting their families. Thus, divorce rate rose up sharply from 4% in 1979 to 13.7% in 1999.

When stepping into 21st century, we witness more significant changes in society. However, accordingly, divorce rate is skyrocketing beyond people ’s imagination. The Statistics Bureau ’s recently published figure shows that divorced people tripled from 340 thousand in 1980 to 1.6 million in 2005. And young generation born after 1980 constitutes a large part of above group.

Why does it happen? Does the new generation divorce for the same reason which influences their parents right after the reform and opening policy?

The majority of the people born in 1980s is the only child in their families, and it is the result of “family policy ”. Though this social development contributes a lot to our country, it unfortunately, more or less, undermines imperative sense of responsibilities of this generation. After all, they are not aware how severe it could be to their marriage. Generally speaking, there are five reasons for the phenomenon. The 80s ’ people are lack of mercy and tolerance, financially dependent, incapable of housing trifles. Meanwhile, they establish a family impulsively, failing to take much into consideration and ironically, can divorce way too conveniently because of the law regulations. Take the first factor as an example. The 80’s children who are regarded as the emperors seem able to acquire everything they want owing to their parents ’ excessive indulgence. They cast about for everything which can satisfy their criteria. As a consequence, when they confront marriage problem by themselves, so long as their ideal requirements cannot mesh with the reality, the solution to resolve the commonness of milk and water’s life is to sign their names in divorce agreement. Consumed with the fancy of a more exciting life, 80’s children shy away from previous marriage and slip into single state. Then, it is not surprising to find that some divorce companies, whose purpose is to help people get

divorced, established and especially serve for those 80s who “can dish it out but can’t take it”.

All in all, social advancement leads to large bulks of benefits to people, however, at the same time, divorce is evolving at a incredible speed, which brings a relatively high rate.
