Should we keep or leave them?

One of the serious problem that is facing Thai society is abortion. This subject is a very controversial subject that has been argued over and over. Abortion is th destruction of the fetus or unbornchild while the child still in the mother's womb. However, in the society, there are two sides of this abortion topic, the PRO-LIFE, the person who against abortion or the PRO-CHOICE, the person who believe it is the woman's right to choose whether she wants to have an abortion.

These two groups offer different soulutions to this problem. The pro-life solution is to save the baby's life and let them grow. They believe abortion is not a good answer to avoid the ashame action. In contrast, the pro-choice solution is, every woman has her rights to make decision to take an unwanted pragnancy. However, from the nowadays news, the trend of abortion seems to be the pro-choice group since most Thai women decided to leave the child out of their lives. Although. the pro-choice group has their own reason and perspective for abortion, there are many affects occur, such as mental sickness, physical suffering and disease. Moreover, for Buddhists, destroying other's life is as a sin, which is greatly immoral.

Doing abortion causes many great effects, the aftermath of doing this immoral actions gives much suffering the doer. Therefore, is it good to kill an innocent baby because he or she is as a person that we don't want?

Let's share some idea...Which sides are you stand for, Pro-Life or Pro-choice?

Should we live together?

Nowadays, living together as husband and wife before marriage seems to be acceptable in Thai society. However, if we look back in the past of Thai society, twenty years ago, living together before marriage was not acceptable at all in Thai society. People in the old generation had their own idea against this idea. It might because they lived in Thai society where they absorbed Thai culture and tradition against living together before marriage since they were born and because their ancestors taught them the value of social norms. They spent many years to learn their couple’s behavior, habit, and did the right things that the society expected them. In addition, the shame played a big role at that time. Women were expected to do the right things that belonged to social norms, and be ashamed for what they did against Thai social norms. Moreover, those who broke the social norms would be condemned from members of that society. It seemed to be a serious judgement for them. In order to avoid any criticism, people in the past chose to follow social norms, and lived with Thai tradition and culture.

On the other hand, living together seems to be a modern idea for new generation. Thai society is likely to accept this idea more than in the past. Currently, if we look around our society, living together seems to be very popular in ages of people teenagers, especially who haven’t finished school yet. One reason might be because they have to study in the place that is far away from their home and parents. Most of them thought that it is like a good way to learn each other. Many of them thought that they do so to save money. They could save the same amount living with same gender friends. They believe they can test the relationship in a "trial marriage."

Some women see it as a step toward marriage while men don’t think so.

Basically, living together is a way to adapt themselves to their couple. Some people thought that they won’t get pressure from any expectation of perfection. If problems occur, it occurs just only two people, not involve with any one in case of feeling, physical and mental abuse. If a person who they are living with is not a real one, they can find another one whom they consider as their real love without any obligation.

For some people who live together think that it is like a good way to achieve some of the benefits of marriage and avoid the risk of divorce.

This is happening in Thai society. The question is “Does it suit to Thai society? Is it too much acceptable? Or are there any impact from living together before marriage to our society?”
How do you think about this issue?
