#2_ Cohibitation Problems_

Last Monday, we talked about the cohabitation topic. It was very nice to share ideas together, especially for young students like us. These days, this problem is getting more serious all over world. It has been a kind of trend of the live style and some countries already made rules to protect their rights. At first two presenters introduced what is the cohabitation and problems caused. Cohabitation is to live together before they get married. The presenters explained the reason why some couples are doing. They said one of the main reasons was ‘media effect’ such as we just got married by MBC. They also mentioned some advantages of living together before getting married. That was we can save money and see deeply their mind. However, I want to think about several things a little bit differently.

At first, I do not think the opinion about media effect is true. If that is very strong reason to have brought about this problem, then how can we explain the previous things? That is we cannot understand the cohabitation of 19c, 20c. They should have provided exact resources about how much changed it were. Actually, I do not agree the cohabitation. So if the government makes some rules to protect them, it would encourage them. Then it may cause another serious problem.

In conclusion, I cannot say whether the cohabitation is good or not. However, as I mentioned earlier, I disagree that making laws to take care of them. Of course, we cannot know our partner well, before living together. Even though it is, I think that is much better than causing other social problems such as unexpected pregnancy and one-parent children.
