Which of the following is the most likely reason for divorce among older adults Quizlet

Scientists who study cultures have identified two opposing characteristics that differen- tiate cultures from each other: collectivism and individualism

1. Collectivist cultures: such as those of contemporary India, Pakistan, Thailand, the Philippines, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia and Africa—emphasize group, or collective, goals over individual aspirations. In such cultures the primary purpose of marriage is to unite families rather than just two people. Parents in collectivist cultures often arrange the marriages of their children. For example, in contemporary India 90% of marriages are arranged
- individuals are expected not to put their own feelings for some- one above the more important commitments to the needs of family, community, or religion
2. individualist cultures: such as those of Canada, Europe, Australia, "European" Brazil, and the United
States, stress individual desires and goals over family interests. People in individualist cultures place considerably more emphasis on feelings of love as a basis for marriage than do people in collectivist cultures. The importance of love in deciding to marry is a recent innovation in the long history of human existence. It was not until the end of the 1700s that personal choice based on love replaced family interests as the ideal basis of marriage in the Western world
- When collectivist cultures become more individualist, people are less likely to remain in marriages, as we see in contemporary China. The easing of government control over individual choices and an increase in Western influence in China contributed to a 21% increase in divorces in one year's time in that country in 2004
