There is no direct solution for these problems due to the fact that every interracial couple and family deal with their problems differently, which means they are more likely to find each solution that works for them. Not all solutions can work for all of us however, that does not mean that the possible solutions I provided in this section would not be accomplished. First, the counselors should establish as many possible goals as necessary for their clients to pursue. Establishing goals help a client see what he/she can do, and is a confidence boost for them to chase higher and more difficult goals. Since not every goal can be accomplished in a short period of time, they must be willing to explain to their clients that these goals require patience and motivation in order for every goal agreed by both the counselor and the clients to accomplish. For example, if an interracial couple’s goal is to re-establish connections with each other after separation, the counselor should list specific goals only in relation to reconnect the couple. By establishing the goals during the counseling session, it can be helpful for interracial couples because goals could help both the counselor and the interracial couples understand what should be done to improve the relationships when it is with each other or professionally with the counselor. Counselors can set the tone by discussing about it during the session, and then they can monitor the process of their clients during the goal-orientated…

The growth of interracial relationships coincides with changes in the legality of them and what some would…
The status-caste exchange theory is to marry in terms of desirable traits; a desirable man marries a desirable woman based what she can provide in return (Hou & Myles, 2013). In regards to interracial marriage, the status-caste exchange theory assumes that the skin colour or ethnic origin as the desirable trait. Lighter skin colours are more desirable compared to darker skin colours, so the value of a partner is based on their skin colour or ethnic origin. If their socio-economic statuses were…
1. Entering the theatre, I was exhausted and cranky. I was not looking forward to “6 Rms Riv Vu”. After I had finished reading the play, I was angry. I am very passionate about my hate for any sort of fooling around while in a relationship. From personal experience and countless stories, cheaters are the scum of the Earth. So all the anger and frustration I had from reading the short play, followed me into the small black box theatre. I arrived at around 7:15 PM, the usherette greeted me with a…
| Interracial Marriages | Proposal | | Tyler Smith | | SOCI 381 12/10/2010 Introduction To see a black man and a white woman walking down the street holding hands used to be unheard of.

Have you ever been out minding your own business and saw an interracial couple? Did you catch yourself gawking or staring at them? If so, did you stop to think how that made them feel? Two normal people being judged for loving someone who is different than them. Does this mean we should all be judged? I mean no two people are the same, right?

These two cultures had to coexist in the new world, but often they argued, fought, and killed because of their differences and quest to be the dominant culture in the New World. “The invasion of Virginia: Indians, Columbus, and the Conquest of Cant: A Review Essay on Anglo-Indian Relations in the Chesapeake”, by J. Frederick Fausz explains the importance of the Indians in American history, because they had to endure hardships while two new cultures settled on their land. The author explains that…
European exploration began with the desire for trade and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both. These people had never seen anything like the Europeans and were mostly receptive to new goods to trade, and were willing to listen to new religious ideas. No one was prepared for the Old diseases that the Europeans brought with them. Disease swept across the continent in the years of European settlement, paving the way for the European dream of controlling the…
This picture of the Indians presents one aspect of their culture in which they might recognize themselves. This is a way of shaping identity or reputation, a good way but there is also a bad way. This happens when Indians confess that: “We didn’t begin that way. We haven’t always been entertainment” but due to the lies and deceit and their effects on the Indian people “we ceased being people and somehow became performers in an Aboriginal minstrel show for whites in North America” (King 68). In…
