cohabitation

 

In Korea society cohabitation become trait topic, but cohabitation still has many problems. Unlike other advanced countries, we have experienced a trial and error. Above all, women who live in Korea are more difficult to cohabitate than men. It is still true to apply double standard which make female foolish to women. Women who cohabitate are often criticized in society or even their parents. If person who cohabitate with don’t have any responsibility, women will be placed on hard situation. For example they could have had sex relationships in their cohabitation,  as a result the woman may be pregnant unexpectedly. In some cases among the people who cohabit have few responsibility or immature sexual idea. What is worse, some people think a cohabitation by amusements. These situation made a psychological and physical wound like an abortion. Although these situations are not occurred, women who had cohabited might be shunned by her marriage partner who has conservative social consciousness.

 Nevertheless, society have changed, also families have evolved diversely. Unlike people who lived through the experience of 70′s, we have no reason to draw the conclusion that cohabitation is terribly wrong. In these circumstance we can try to change and have to attempt to make solution. We have grown up in an era when personal choices that were stigmatized as immoral, but personal choices are accepted and even respected naturally. We can live our girlfriend or boyfriend before we get married. In fact, young people who live in advance countries are delaying childbearing until marriage more than they used to and seem to be divorcing somewhat less often. We also have to learn as a country to balance freedom with responsibility. Moreover we should learn to accept diversity and get rid of double standard.
