  1. State of being not married (1.lawful union – DC, Or 2.accepted by the community as man and wife – LDC) Sought after/wished for usually because it has benefits. Singlehood is desirable. DYA? • CONSIDER: 5W1H/LEVELS • Singlehood is desirable for WHO (Players- consider GIC)? • - Do governments of labour-scarce countries want citizens to be single ? What benefits /disadvantages do single citizens bring to the country? • Do uneducated or religious women in conservative societies want to be single? Will they be considered spinsters and hence subject to ridicule? Will they suffer financial hardship without a husband? Can they find a job to support themselves? • Do educated men and women in modern, liberal societies want to be single? They are financially independent and don’t want commitments and responsibilities. They belong to the Me Generation and prefer a lifestyle that is free from social obligations beyond their careers.

  2. Singlehood is desirable. DYA? • (Individual level) TS1 (-) • Educated men and women in modern, liberal societies choose singlehood over marriage because they value their independence and freedom from life-long commitment to a spouse and to raise a family. • (National level) TS2 (+) • Governments of labour-scarce and conservative societies, however, consider singlehood to be a threat to the moral fabric of society and even have an impact on economic growth.

  3. Various stands one can take: • Singlehood is desirable to a large extent. • Singlehood is not desirable to a large extent. • Singlehood is sometimes desirable. • Singlehood is a highly desirable lifestyle choice for most people. • Singlehood is a highly undesirable lifestyle choice for most people.

  4. Stand – singlehood is not desirable in most societies (this is one way of presenting it) • Despite the changing social norms today (context), embracing singlehood is not the preferred lifestyle choice of many people. This view is held not only by 1) individuals in conservative societies, but 2) also those in liberal societies, including even 3)governments who see great value in upholding the institution of marriage. (Your stand shows that different groups hold different views)
