答案 The past ten years has witnessed tremendous social changes in China. A case in point is that divorce rate has gone up sharply since the reform and the open-up to the outside world. As to the cases concerning divorces, there are certainly pros and cons. Here I’d like to make a brief list of them and give my own opinion on this topic in the following. People who are for divorces claim that divorce represents social and personal progress. They argue that divorce rate is often higher in better-off regions than in poorer areas, for economic development provides women more chances of education and employment, which may lead to their ideological changes. More and more people believe that divorce is a mark of freedom. Firstly, the popularization of Marriage Law makes it possible for people to free themselves from the bandage of unhappy marriages and provides them with a chance to find joy in another marriage. Secondly, divorce frees children of unhappy marriages from being torn between their parents and gives them a better chance to develop their personalities. However, for those who are on the other side, divorce represents social turmoil rather than progress and creates many social problems. More often than not, divorce results from a lack of responsibility. Many people only want to enjoy happiness of marriage but are oblivious of their social responsibilities. It cannot be denied that divorce results in broken families and leaves a shadow in the hearts of both the two parties involved and their children. These children often end up psychologically unbalanced and some even become juvenile delinquents, which does great harm to the social stability. In the tug-of-war between pros and cons, I would rather give weight to the latter. After all, high divorce rate is not in tune with the stable social advance. Divorce is not a goal, but only a means. Therefore, it is sensible of the two parties to open their eyes wide before marriage. Marriage takes certain qualities to make it successful. If people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces.
