What is relationship mobility like in collectivistic cultures? Give an example of marriage and divorce.

What will be an ideal response?


A good answer would include the following key points:
- In traditional collectivistic cultures, dating and divorce are both rare.
- Such cultures often practice arranged marriages, so courtship, attraction, and other aspects of dating that are common in individualistic cultures are uncommon in collectivistic cultures.
- Divorce is also less common than it is in individualistic cultures, because family relationships are tightly enmeshed.
- Divorcing a spouse under these cultural circumstances is more than just separating from an individual; it reflects disrupting an entire family social system.
