Assignment 7: How life is different

After reading a well-ordered family, I think I learned just how much emphasis they put on god. I’ve read about the puritans and I already knew they were strict when it came to marriage and sex, but this showed there ridiculously strict about what a man and a woman should do for one another. What surprised me the most would have to be that they said arguing with one another was evil. I’ve read stories and seen movies about those times and the men were down the women’s throats all the time. The difference between then and today is huge. Back then if someone got a divorce, I’m sure they would have been condemned and told they were going to hell. Now days probably sixty percent of people get a divorce and people just treat it like it’s just a common part of life. Also woman are respected a lot more now, back then men were considered the dominant human, now were all equal. People were a lot more religious back then to, and were expected to be, now a lot of people expect you to not believe in god.
