Marriage

The definition of marriage is a union between two or more people with a social, cultural or legal recognition. Marriage is considered absolutely necessary for some people to start a family. On the other hand there are people that think love is more important than this public recognition.

First of all, it’s obvious that there are different types of unions. On one hand there is monogamy, the union between two people and on the other hand there is polygamy, the union between three or more people. In general we are monogamous because we live in Spain but in many countries like Senegal the majority of people are polygamous.

Secondly, it’s clear that in Spain the traditional marriage is based by the union between a woman and a man but since 2001 six countries in our world accept the union between same sex people: Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, South Africa, Netherlands and Spain.

Finally, the number of divorced people is going up and this is a clear example that people are changing their concept of marriage. Nowadays people don’t support their couples until the death. As a result every time there are new divorced families and new models of one-parent families.

To conclude, it’s obvious that our society is changing step by step and in my point of view is normal that marriage change with society. Love and respect is the most important think inside a couple.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY?

ZOO FEARS AS POLAR BEAR EATS CUBS


This article is about captivity life in the zoos and it tackles with the issue of a four week old polar bear in the zoo of Nuremberg, who has been separated from her mother because she was showing a strange behaviour with it and the zookeepers (were) feared that the polar bear mother was going to eat it.

Wednesday, the zoo decided to rear it away from its mother Vera because she was upset and very confused taking the baby in and out of the animals’ enclosure with really bad manners. The zookeepers were 100% sure the cub was going to die if they didn’t react on time.

The zoo confirmed earlier this week that their other female polar bear, Vilma, had eaten her two offspring because she thought they were ill and they were afraid Vera would do the same with her cub.

Nowadays the cub is resting under a heat lamp and it is drinking a lot of milk. The name of the cub, that it is a female, is Snowflake.

Nowadays Vera seems to miss her cub. She walks around her enclosure searching for her baby and she is really nervous. The experts say this is normal and they are sure this behaviour will go on for three or four days. For this reason, maybe the zoo will bring another adult bear, possibly Felix the cub’s father to help Vera overcome her loss.
