Question

1. The introduction of sociology as "the study of society" or "the science of man" created a social upheaval in the nineteenth century that destroyed many traditions and social norms. Among these were challenges to religion and the divine right of kings. During the 1960s, other traditions were being challenged by the feminist perspective such as the family and the role of women. What traditions and social norms in today’s society are being challenged in a similar manner? Provide an example and explain in detail.

Answer 1

The tradition of marriage is being challenged in a similar manner today.

Step-by-step explanation:

In today's society the traditional marriage system that involved two people of different genders have been questioned. Traditionally, marriage used to be seen as a sacred Union between two people who are of different genders, a man and a woman.

These two people would make vows to stay together no matter what. Apart from this they would wait until after the marriage ceremony to stay together. But today marriage is seen in a different way, people easily move in together without any formal marriage. Also people can easily get out of marriages through divorce.

In the society today, the new norm is that people of same genders can be in relationships and get married. A long time ago this would never be possible.

This goes to show that the society is evolving and very different from what we used to know existed.
