Considering the idea that intimacy is vital to all human relationships, write a 5-page paper answering the following question:
What are the supposed advantages of marriage (compared to unwed parenthood and compared to divorce) for children and society?
This paper should theoretically explain causes and effects, rather than simply providing a laundry list. A careful academic explanation using any of the theories mentioned in class or in the textbook, is to be provided. You must use 5 academic sources to support your response. (Please note that Wikipedia is not an appropriate academic source). The paper should be written in ASA format (sample provided; abstract not needed for this assignment). Here is a quick word about plagiarism: DON’T DO IT!! You will not be given any points if any part of your paper is plagiarized.
Points will be deducted for papers that do not meet the minimum requirements of 5 full pages (which does not include the reference page) and 5 academic sources. Please also note that points will be deducted for papers that have multiple grammatical and spelling errors. Please seek the assistance of the Writing Center if necessary.
