Timothy, a social researcher, is of the opinion that cultural values tend to reduce the number of singles living in a society. Provide an explanation which supportsTimothy's view

What will be an ideal response?


Cultural values can decrease the number of singles. Many Asian American households see the family as the core of society. Among Chinese Americans, for example, divorce rates are much lower than in the general population. Divorced women find it difficult to survive economically and are not readily accepted in the community. As a result, many Chinese women avoid divorcing and becoming single again at almost all costs.
