The Role of a Man in Marriage
Autor, David, et al. “When work disappears: Manufacturing decline and the falling marriage – market value of men.” CEPR Discussion Paper No. DP11878, 2017.
The article depicts that men are expected to provide for their partners, despite the Chinese law stating that both males and females should cater to the needs of their families. The reading is important in my research since it compares the roles of men in marriage in China and western countries.
Booth, Hannah. “The kingdom of women: The society where a man is never the boss.” The Guardian, 2017, /lifeandstyle/2017/apr/01/the-kingdom-of-women-the-tibetan-tribe-where-a-man-is-never-the-boss. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
The article focuses on how anachronistic matriarchy is practiced in Yunna, somewhere in south-west China. On that note, using it in my research will help an individual to know the reason why women in this region rule over men in their marriages.
Budden, Rob. “Why millions of Chinese men are staying single.” BBC Worklife, 2017, /worklife/article/20170213-why-millions-of-chinese-men-are-staying-single. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
The reading illustrates how “left-over” men are doing whatever they can to get wives in China. In essence, does the search for the right partner to marry enable these males more committed to their roles in marriages?
Byler, Darren. “Uyghur love in a time of interethnic marriage.” Sup China, 2019, https://supchina.com/2019/08/07/uyghur-love-in-a-time-of-interethnic-marriage/. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
The article reveals how interethnic marriages in China has been increasing recently. I will use it in my research to show how men’s roles change when they marry women from other ethnicities.
Carr, Deborah, et al. “Happy marriage, happy life? Marital quality and subjective well-being in later life.” Journal of Marriage and Family, vol. 76, issue 5, 2014, pp. 930-948.
The journal postulates that if men are satisfied with their life achievements, they are likely to handle their duties in marriages well. Consequently, I will use it in my research to show how success in life leads to happy families.
Cartwright, Mark. “Women in Ancient China.” Ancient History, 2017, /article/1136/women-in-ancient-china/. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
Ancient Chinese history shows that women were socially segregated, and they behaved in a way to please their fathers and husbands. As a result, using this article in my research is significant since it shows how males’ roles in marriages have changed with respect to the changing perception of females in contemporary society.
DePaulo, Bella. “China’s “Leftover Women” and “Shake-and-bake” husbands.” Psychology Today, 2018, /us/blog/living-single/201804/china-s-leftover-women-and-shake-and-bake-husbands. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
Traditionally, many Chinese women did not reach 20 years without being married, which is not the current situation in society. Hence, using this article in my research will help one t...
