How Society Viewed Love and Marriage in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Aus

How Society Viewed Love and Marriage in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Jane Austen was born in 1775 and spent most of her life in the countryside in a village called Steventon, Hampshire. She was the daughter of a clergyman, Reverend George Austen and her mother was called Cassandra Austen. She had a brief education starting at the age of seven and ending at eleven, when she settled at home. Like women in Austen’s society, she had little education due to the beliefs at the time; the only education she would have received would likely have been to up her social status, through marriage. She wrote â€Å"Pride and Prejudice† to portray society’s views of love and marriage to the reader and to shoe that marriages take place for different reasons. We see throughout the novel the excessive number of marriages and courtships that take place. The opening sentence â€Å"It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in the possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife† introduces the theme of love, marriage and money in an ironic way. The irony is contained in the fact that marriage is meant to be about love and happiness but clearly revolves around wealth and social standing. In the novel we see two established marriages take place; The Bennet’s and the Gardiner’s. Throughout the novel four other marriages take place; Lydia and Mr Wickham, Charlotte Lucas and Mr Collins, Elizabeth and Darcy and Jane and Mr Bingley. The marriage between Mr Collins and Charlotte Lucas is purely based on financial and social security not love or appearance, It was extremely common fro women in Austens era to marry and save themselves from spinsterhood and social security and to gain, the above mentioned, financial... ...however, that Darcy is her ideal match. Intelligent and forthright, he too has a tendency to judge too hastily and harshly, and his high birth and wealth make him overly proud and overly conscious of his social status. When he proposes to her, for instance, he dwells more on how unsuitable a match she is than on her charms, beauty, or anything else complimentary, â€Å"not handsome enough†. Here Darcy is reflecting society’s views of love and marriage because many people married for higher social status and financial status rather than for love and beauty. Pride and prejudice is a love story but does not reflect the romantic side. It gives the reader a sense of all the different kinds of relationships, none of them are the same. It shows that the ideal couple is difficult to find, the established marriages in the book being The Bennet’s and the Gardiner’s.

Vse `eti faktory dopolnyayut drug druga. Voobsche v Soedinennyh SHtatah priznano, chto est’ bolee i menee predpochtitel’nye uchrezhdeniya dlya obucheniya i polucheniya vysshego obrazovaniya. Bolee predpochtitel’nye uchrezhdeniya obychno, no ne vsegda, yavlyayutsya bolee dorogostoyaschimi, i okonchanie odnogo iz nih mozhet prinesti znachitel’nye preimuschestva, poskol’ku kazhdyj chelovek ischet vozmozhnost’ zanyatosti i social’nuyu podvizhnost’ v predelah obschestva. Konkurs na postuplenie v takoj kolledzh pobuzhdaet milliony starsheklassnikov sdavat’ SAT kazhdyj god. No nedavno akcent na vstupitel’nyh `ekzamenah shiroko kritikovalsya v Soedinennyh SHtatah, potomu chto `ekzameny pozvolyayut opredelit’ kompetentnost’ v matematike i anglijskom yazyke.

Mogut li kolledzhi i universitety Ameriki osnovyvat’sya na ih rezul’tatah? Priblizitel’no 12 millionov studentov v nastoyaschee vremya poseschayut shkoly vysshego obrazovaniya v Amerike. Oni – studenty v obschestve, kotoroe verit v svyaz’ mezhdu obrazovaniem i demokratiej. Odnako, mnozhestvo amerikancev ne udovletvoreny sostoyaniem vysshego obrazovaniya v ih strane. Vozmozhno, naibolee shiroko rasprostranennoe nedovol’stvo vyzyvaet uchebnyj plan kolledzha v celom i shirokij diapazon dopolnitel’nyh zanyatij v chastnosti. V seredine 80-yh godov proshlogo veka Associaciya Amerikanskih Kolledzhej (AAC) vypustila doklad, v kotorom prizyvala k prepodavaniyu bazovoj chasti obschih znanij vsem studentam kolledzha. Nacional’nyj Institut Obrazovaniya (NIE) vypustil podobnyj zhe doklad- â€Å"Uchastie v obuchenii†. V svoem doklade NIE zaklyuchil, chto uchebnyj plan kolledzha stal â€Å"chrezmerno professional’no-tehnicheskim i svyazannym s rabotoj†. V nem takzhe preduprezhdaetsya, chto obrazovanie kolledzha bol’she ne mozhet razvivat’ v studentah â€Å"razdelennye cennosti i znaniya†, chto tradicionno svyazyvayut Amerikancev vmeste. Ser’eznoe obvinenie. Dejstvitel’no li `eto tak? V nekotoroj stepeni na dannyj moment `eto vozmozhno.

V otvet, mnogie kolledzhi nachali peresmatrivat’ osnovnoj uchebnyj plan, s kotorym vse studenty dolzhny spravlyat’sya. `Eti problemy – priznak togo, chto vysshee obrazovanie v Amerike menyaetsya, kak `eto imelo mesto vsegda v ego istorii. I, kak v proshlom, `eto izmenenie mozhet idti v neozhidannyh napravleniyah. Puritane osnovyvali kolledzhi, chtoby obuchat’ ministrov. No ih studenty proyavili sebya kak osnovopolozhniki pervoj v mire konstitucionnoj demokratii. Kolledzhi predostavleniya zemli byli osnovany, chtoby prepodavat’ sel’skoe hozyajstvo i proektirovanie stroitelyam Amerikanskogo Zapada.

The Disparities Between Races And Ethnicities - 1244 Words

All men are created equal yet the glaring disparities between races and ethnicities say otherwise. The African American demographic of America has the lowest poverty rate and household income than all other races and ethnicities. The statistics about African American poverty are staggering in regards to more than just unemployment, food insecurity, and nutrition. In the 21st century, decades after the civil war and desegregation, and with such a diverse population, the poverty in our country still pertains to race and the color of our skin. The following paragraphs will explicate the various distinctions in socioeconomic statuses of the African American and white populations of America. It is not my intention to pit the white and black†¦show more content†¦African Americans still have the lowest household income in comparison to all other races and ethnicities. African Americans have the highest poverty rate at 27.4%. The consequences faced by those under the poverty line are disconcerting. The organization, Feeding America, reports that 26% of African American households suffer from food insecurity, which is more than twice compared to the 11% of Caucasian households. 93% of counties that possess an African American majority population fall into the top 10% of counties with the highest rates of food insecurity. Also, African Americans are more likely to be uninsured than any other race or ethnicity. The younger generation of African Americans is also severely affected by poverty. 45.8% of young black children reside under the poverty line where as only 14.5% of white children do. Unfortunately, black children are at a socioeconomic disadvantage that makes them more vulnerable than any other racial groups to live in areas of highly concentrated poverty where they are at greater risks of being involved with or exposed to violence leading to psychological issues later in life. 52.1% of black children live in single parent homes as the rate of marriage among the African American demographic has seen a steep decline during the recession compared to the white population. African American children are less likely to have proper nutrition and immunization. For these children, concentration on education is often
