Cohabitation / Problems
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the problems that can arise from living together without marriage. Living together has caused far more controversy than just the value of maintaining laws that are no longer enforced. The focus here is its effects on traditional marriage and social issues. Though the most common opinion is that there is nothing 'wrong' with living together either instead of, or before marriage, there is increasing evidence that there is indeed something 'wrong' with it, to the extent that it is listed as a risk factor against the success of subsequent marriage between the same partners.

Crime According to Freud, Durkheim and Marx
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing these theorists' views on crime. Of course Durkheim's position is clear, but Freud and Marx had greater interest in other areas. Freud's views on individuals' behavior and theory of psychopathology can still be seen as being useful, though less so than when Freud synthesized his theories a century ago. Of the three, Marx is less relevant. He maintains that all will be happier as classes disappear, and the reader can infer that crime will diminish as well. We now know that is not a valid theory. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
