I'm doing a papers in school where I have to write on convincing a friend or a specific gender whether they should married through arrange marriages or dating....i have ideas but it would be nice to have something a bit more solid to build my argument on..because I'm literally all over the place and I beginning to confuse myself....i chose dating...anyone like to post a thoughts opinions...
more info::well we read this short essay about an american indian who ...explained "arrange marriages in india" and broke down the tradition...but i don't want to sound closed minded but to me it seem like she only explain why and didn't convince the readers....now our professor wants us to convince..someone..or a specific gender.thank you

I've never understood the arranged marriage thing myself... it just makes NO sense whatsoever.
How could you possibly be happy marrying a complete stranger that you know nothing about? What if you don't like them once you're married?

A person needs to be free to choose their life partner on their own.
Get to know and love them over time.
No one knows who/what you want better than yourself.

1. Don't have to learn to love the person you choose to date, because you would know how you felt right off instead of years down the road learning that you actually feel something for this person.

2. You can choose your own mate. Like if you went to a bar and met a really awesome guy then you could choose to date him. But in arranged marriages you don't even know who the other person is til the wedding.

3. You get to learn more about the person, before the relationship gets too serious. Like with the first couple of dates you are basically learning what the other person's interest are and likes and dislikes. But with arranged marriage its already at the serious stage and you never really got much of a chance to say "I'm going to throw this person back because we aren't right together."

Dating is totally free of choice; you can be with the person you want, go where you want, and do whatever you want. Also, you get to find out the inner self of the other person once you're with him/her. Arranged marriages are crap in every language.
