Considering the readings from Chapters 8, 9 and 10, the provided link, and your own researched online materials, discuss the following:
In Chapter 8 it discusses how our social world reveals itself in online dating. Take a look at data from OKCupid here (Links to an external site.). These data points tell us a lot about contemporary social and cultural change, such as the embrace of Juneteenth as a holiday and shifts in ideas surrounding gender and sexuality. Look through this data and find two examples of data points that illustrate the formation of families and family structure. In your post, explain how the data points demonstrate social patterns in marriage and family formation. (For example, I would pick the post from October 15, 2017 that tells us people want to find a partner that agrees with them on faith and climate change. I would then explain how this shows: 1 – the importance of common values and worldviews in finding a partner—and possibly making a family unit, but also 2 – how our ways of measuring values and worldviews is changing.)
DO NOT USE THIS SAME EXAMPLE!
