Is same-sex marriage a practical consideration in this age of globalisation?
From dictionary.com, same-sex marriage is defined as two people of the same sex who live together as a family. In my opinion, I feel that same-sex marriage is a practical consideration in this age of globalisation to a small extent.
Though society has progressed tremendously since the old times, people's mindset has not been so open as to allow same-sex marriage yet. This is proven from http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/international.htm, where out of so many countries on Earth, only 6 regions namely, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and Massachusetts, a state in United States of America, legalised same-sex marriage. This tells us that most of the world has not yet accepted same-sex marriages, thus same-sex marriage is a practical consideration in this age of globalisation to a small extent.
In this age of globalisation, same-sex marriages had been considered by some countries, but majority refused to think about it or worse, in some cases, being homosexual could bring about one's death as from wikipedia, countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen imposed death penalties on homosexuals. It is sad to see this as homosexuals themselves could not help falling for the same gender. Though it may be so, they are being seen as criminals for something that is inborn. Although there may be tolerance from many countries, the mindset being instilled in us from young finds it disturbing, though not menacing. This may be the reason behind why it is not a practical consideration in this modern era.
Furthermore, by legalising same-sex marriages, it may cause a disruption to the ideal family image most people had in their mind, where the fact that they could not give birth to their own children further enhanced the protest we harboured in our mind as we see it as unnatural, to be against nature. This may cause the birth rate of the country to decline as to create a baby, they will have to go for artificial insemination which may be too expensive for most, resulting in futility to create a baby and not adding to the birth statistics in the country. This will result in an aging population, which will be a great concern to any country as the economy and political aspects of the country will be affected. With these disadvantages, it may provide us with yet another reason why same-sex marriage is not a practical consideration in this age of globalisation.
In conclusion, I feel that due to the still tradional mentality of the people, the negative effects that will be brought to the countries, even if the world has progressed, they will not be so open yet to accept and legalised same-sex marriage, with the exception of a few countries, thus I think that same-sex marriage is a practical consideration in this age of globalisation to a small extent.
