Virtuous or Vicious Circle?

Question

Scenario I
The old world perceives that monogamous relationship should be few and lead to one marriage, typically for life.

It is upset that their offspring redefine the boundaries as serial monogamous relationship.

The next generation believe that switching one recreational partner a day is preferred over being seen at socially taboo designated places.


Scenario II

Traditional society believes that monogamous relationships should exist in a conjugal arrangement that allows many spouses financially supported by the dominant other sex.

It is upset that their offspring redefine boundaries to a serial monogamous relationship that believes one marriage for life.

Two things occur:
The next generation does away long term emotional attachment and decide it is cheaper soliciting physical and psychological attachment allowing changes to suit personal needs; and
The next generation does away with multiple partners singly and takes to having one partner for life.

(Continued.)

Under what conditions do you think this change will occur and with what purpose ?

Should the predecessors grouse over the change since their way (assume) worked fine since time immemorial ?


Serious and preferably no academic responses please.

(Opinions are welcome. Kindly refrain from diatribe and ad hominem attacks.)

Answer 1

The "next" generation are frequently predisposed to think they have the most relevant thoughts. It is human nature. I think "vicious circle" may be over kill though.
