When looking at different communities to explore for my next paper I had a hard time thinking of creative topics. I wanted something that would have plenty of information on the internet and numerous photos to show. I finally came up with a few good ideas. The one I’m writing about now is the community of polygamists. A polygamist is someone who has multiple spouses. In particular I’m thinking about research a polygamist society that caters to the male. This is when the male has multiple wives but the wife has only one husband. Their children are plenty and the women are typically not treated well. The husband is definitely in charge whether it’s what his wives wear that day to whether or not they can go somewhere. In some instances the children are forced in to the polygamist community. Their only option is to escape by running away. By running away they leave behind their family from which they are now shunned. States outlaw these types of communities but some still exist secretly. They do this through private fences and other means of hiding the polygamist community. I personally do not agree with polygamy, especially if it’s one sides and degrading to women.

I feel like this topic is a good idea because your researching and analyzing this community can really give us a look inside of what is like being a part of this type of community and really show up all the talk about in the media. This was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI think that this idea is really good. It would be interesting to research and the good news is that it would also probably be pretty easy. A lot of people make fun of this community and look down on it so maybe you could look at that and also if some of those stereotypes are correct. Also how do they feel about it? How did those people get caught up in this community?
