Then tell Massah where he can stick all of his cycle-creating, life-controlling handouts. And finally, many of you started off reading this article probably thinking I had no identity.

Thursday, January 13, News Feed Comments. Music Misc. Archives 29 January Southern agriculture was traditionally the most labor-intensive, having been developed on the backs of African slaves.
When slavery was abolished, low paying farm jobs were still the easiest for many blacks in the South to get. Welfare law was used to enforce low-wage work in the fields during the growing and harvest seasons. Mechanization of farming may have increased productivity on farms—at least until one starts to calculate the costs of using fossil fuels to achieve that productivity—but it also uprooted the labor force, mostly black.
Many were practically indentured servants, tied to their employers through debt, or because of residency laws and the difficulty of relocating and getting welfare benefits. Welfare agencies were not extremely receptive to the new immigrants. And remember that many were coming from rural areas—this was a traumatic uprooting of the population.
Several factors converged to create political and social unrest. For blacks, there were few opportunities. They faced racism, denial of welfare benefits, poverty, etc. But, the s were a period of sweeping social change.
The injustices of racism led to a more vocal and successful Civil Rights Movement. There were other groups concerned about the environment and pollution initially anyway, this had a lot to do with agricultural modernization and the use of petrochemicals and pesticides, of which Rachel Carson wrote in Silent Spring.
The U. Government was escalating its involvement in Vietnam. We've all heard the statistics. This can lead to complications, problems with your children, financial issues, and no small amount of negative emotions.
In most cases, there is no one, singular reason for getting divorced. It usually comes down to multiple issues within the relationship. We're here to break down the top four. Getting Married Too Quickly. One of the most common reasons married couples get divorced is because they got married too quickly. There's a stark difference between infatuation and love. Infatuation also known as puppy love is what you feel at the beginning of the relationship. This is before you've had time to annoy one another or see the other person's flaws.
During this phase, many couples fall head-over-heels and decide to tie the knot. Unfortunately, they haven't had time to truly get to know one another.
Then, they move in together and all the skeletons start to come out of their closets. Effective communication is one of the most important elements of any successful relationship. Sadly, most people allow hurt feelings and negative emotions to cloud their ability to effectively, respectfully and responsibly communicate. Instead, we say things we don't mean, overreact, take things personally, yell, etc.
This alienates our partner and makes our problems worse. Conversely, some people choose to hold their feelings in, rather than express themselves openly. This can be just as problematic and damaging to a relationship.
It often leads to bitterness and resentment. Trust Issues. Married couples often get divorced because one or both partners have broken the other's trust. In most cases, broken trust is a result of infidelity. Being unfaithful also makes the other person feel unattractive, unappreciated, and insecure.
It's difficult to regain your trust in the person because infidelity can cause a lot of trauma on multiple levels. If you're wondering, "Should I take my spouse back? However, trust issues can extend to other areas of the relationship. For example, if one spouse has a secret credit card or bank account, it's a type of financial infidelity. If the only solution to your trust issues in your relationship is to get divorced, find a divorce lawyer to start the process of separation.
Opposing Life Goals. Finally, you might need to think about divorce if you and your partner are at odds with your future. People grow and change over time, even within a relationship. It's not uncommon for couples to grow apart and want different things as the marriage continues. This can result in a troubled relationship. For example, if you want to travel but your partner wants to place firm roots in one place for the rest of their life, you could have a difficult time overcoming those differences.
Other opposing life goals include things like careers, finances, hobbies, retirement plans, raising a family, and more. Usually, it's not one thing that drives a couple apart, but many. If you and your spouse no longer see eye to eye look for some of the crucial signs and signals of a potential divorce before it's too late. Now is the time to save your marriage before it's too late.
Too many marriages end because of complacency and ego. Don't think you can get by just on auto-pilot, no matter how good a life you may be providing. So talk to your spouse. Step up your game. Talk to a therapist. It's totally normal for couples to start taking one another for granted.
It's also totally normal for couples to stop trying to woo their partner. So get back to the gym, get back to your hobbies. Dress better, and treat your spouse like you did when you were first dating. Even if you got married for the wrong reasons, that doesn't mean you can't make your marriage work. That doesn't mean that "work" can't be fulfilling and rewarding. But it's naive to think you can just coast once they've said "I do". The best marriages maintain mystery and romance, decades after saying their vows, and yours should too.
