Amy And Lin Have Recently Become Friends After Working

Amy and Lin have recently become friends after working together on a project at work. They often accompany each other to get coffee at a nearby cafe on their breaks and sometimes on the weekend. Although Amy and Lin tend to get along quite well with each other, from time to time their views on certain ethical topics conflict.

It is not necessarily required that marriage be exclusively between a man and a woman. AMY: Regardless, the union between two men or two women is unnatural. You cannot deny that traditionally marriage has only been between a man and a woman. It has been that ways for many years and to include gay marriage would change the meaning of marriage. LIN: I concede that by legalizing same-sex marriage we would be changing the meaning of marriage as we are expanding it to include same-sex marriage. However, the concept of â€Å"traditional† marriage has never existed. This concept of marriage that we think of is simply a societal concept we have created ourselves and added meaning to. What we consider to be marriage today contrasts radically from what we considered to be marriage before. Centuries ago, marriage oftentimes involved a man and many women. Later on it became more common for marriage to occur betweenShow MoreRelatedP2P Lending in Singapore13536 Words   |  55 Pagesincludes risk and regulations associated with peer to peer lending and the impact of social behaviours and social connections on the decision of investors related to investment in online platforms.
