Why do you think attitudes towards relationships change so regularly?
Do these changes have a positive or negative effect on UK society and why?

We have recently looked at the ethics of relationships. We covered the changing attitudes towards cohabiting by watching some of this BBC archive footage from the 1960s, gay marriage and some classes watched this comment is free piece about Polyamory.

1). I think that attitudes towards relationships change so regularly because society is constantly evolving. Society has changed immensely since biblical days, and so has what is accepted into society. People are constantly finding new ways to establish relationships, and they are becoming more and more accepted.

1) I think that attitudes towards relationships are changing more regularly because times are changing and so is the world and the rules of relationships. Today we are not as strict as we once were over hundreds of years ago about how we had to live in a relationship or who we had a relationship with. Today the types of relationships that there are have started to increase more and society is now more accepting of what many may have disagreed with years ago.

3. 2. 1. I think that attitudes towards relationships are changing more frequently because people are changing and what religious people used to say has been changed as more and more people are having different relationships.

1) I think that attitudes towards relationships change so regularly because we live in a society that is always changing their views on relationships. People have become more accepting of polyamorous relationships in recent times as we live in a mixed society.

I think attitudes towards relationships change so regularly because of a growing acceptance of a different way of life. for instance: gay people were highly frowned upon until more and more people started doing it. When important people in society (like celebrities, government officials and types of role models) announce that they’re gay, cohabiting or in a polyamorous relationship, some people turn away, but most gain a deeper acceptance and understanding of different relationships. When an important person has an opinion more people share it.

1.I think that attitudes towards relationships change so regularly because people always find things out about different things which can easily change there attitude about something. The world is also changing and peoples views on things are always changing about things.

1. Attitudes towards relationships change with people and with society. The world around us and what is viewed as ‘acceptable’ is always changing, always growing; it’s only natural that attitudes towards relationships change with them. Relationships are seen as a personal thing, an emotional attachment; we grow and change and so the way we feel, our relationships follow and, as more people grow in themselves, relationships change and society keeps up with this constant flow.

I think that attitudes towards relationships change so much because of the change in society. As more people have become gay or are cohabiting society has had to adapt to this. It would be unacceptable if all of these people were shunned by society. There are so many advantages to cohabiting and people are really starting to realise the benefits of it. You are living together but there are no legal vows. This is a big advantage to some people. Attitudes towards polyamorous relationships have also changed. It is now acceptable to be in a relationship with more than one person. I think that these changes have had a positive effect on society because it has made everybody more accepting of different kinds of relationships. 60 years ago it was frowned upon to cohabit. Now it is completely acceptable to do this. I think shows how adaptable society is and how accepting they are of new ideas. I think it has created a very positive effect on society as a whole. I think attitudes in the future towards relationships will grow even more positive than they are now. People will find new ways to be in a relationship and society will just have to adapt.

Attitude to relationships change regularly because in some countries it is illegal to live with someone even though you are not married with the other person due to religious and government related laws. It is also against the law in some countries to commit gay marriage but in some countries it is not, it has recently became legal in the United Kingdom in 2014.It also depends on what the people think about it because they would not make it legal if more than half the population in that country say that it should not be allowed.

1. I believe that society view of relationships has evolved from the 1960s, firstly because of the influence of media. The press and other media sources are feeding us what they think should be acceptable, if on television there are gay and cohabiting people then it will be viewed as more acceptable. There are also famous people, such as tom daily who are openly gay and for many people that shows that being gay is acceptable. Secondly in the 1960s it was very difficult for a woman to find well paid employment and therefore getting married to a man was also a way of securing a future and financial security, the position of women in society has changed and now it is easier to find a well paid job as a women and in the US there are now 42.7% of the managerial rolls held by women. Finally the worlds view on religion has changed and the number of actively religious people had greatly deteriorated since the 1960s which means that the number of people that believed in the fact that god says ‘You shall not lie with a man as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.’ Has decreased meaning that there are more gay people. These are the reasons why the attitude towards relationships has changed since the 1960s, however I do not believe that attitudes towards relationships change regularly, for example it took many years for the gay marriage laws to be passed.

1. Relationships can be very complicated. But how other people look upon other couples is a different matter. As society has developed, more people have had more open views to a situation. People look at the bigger picture. Religious concepts have become less important.

1. I think that attitudes towards relationships change so regularly because of what the younger generation hear rom the peers. The young generation gain their information about views of relationships from their parents and elders. The children then baser their attitude towards relationships on their parents attitudes and ideas.
