- Another question to ponder: Is the rising divorce rates among people today caused by a decline in morals or is it simply the fact that modern day humans are in contact with more people than at any other point in our history and thus we can more easily see our reproductive "options," leading us to inevitably question our choices? As little as a century ago, most of us would live in a village and never venture outside of it. Our family circle was extremely close knit and divorce would be a terribly socially rending activity. Now with frequent moving, a lack of a social group exerting significant social pressure, and a family that is often far removed, I would argue that the cost of divorce is negligible. |
