Phan Thị Huyền - 18071106 More people get married to someone of a different culture. Write at least 2 opinions about advantages OR disadvantages of mixed marriage using ideas in the following articles NOTE: Use Harvard Referencing System for Quotation and Citation In today's modern society, getting mixed marriage is becoming more and more common. I believe it has many disadvantages for human and society. Firstly, I think it's hard to avoid racism. “Race is a part of our identity, and for any mixedrace relationship to work I think it’s absolutely vital to know each person’s view on all aspects of racism” (Smith, 2020) . Racism is a major obstacle to mixed marriages. According to Tineka Smith, the black wife was assaulted and accused, but the white husband assumed his wife was at fault for inciting them. Secondly, culture shock is inevitable for mixed marriages. According to Anushka Asthana an Indian woman married to Toby - a white Englishman who grew up in Oxfordshire, her husband was really shocked to experience Indian culture among his wedding. “Soon, Toby would wake up with the question: "How many social engagements do we have today?" The answer was rarely fewer than three and at each we would be (virtually force) fed piles of Indian food until we pleaded with them to stop. Within a week, I had put on half a stone and Toby, who had been ultra-careful about everything he ate, was nevertheless suffering from the obligatory Delhi belly,” ( Anushka Asthana, 2009) . Unlike same-race marriage, mixed marriage has many more disadvantages. So, we need to listen and solve problems together to nothing can prevent happiness.
