Week 8 Reaction (Esther)

    This week, we learn long- term orientation and short- term orientation.  Yoyo and Katreena led a wonderful discussion.  They talked about this topic from different aspects, for example, marriage, economics and history. I remembered what I learnt from the course families studies, people in western countries tend to marry someone they love. But in some countries, for example, Japan, love is not the most important thing in their marriage. Duty is the most important. Arranged marriage is common in Japanese society. This kind of marriage is more stable than marriage in western countries.

    I am looking forward to Spring break!  Wish all have a happy and safe spring break!
