    1. Cultural innovation. Faculty at colleges and universities create culture as well as pass it on to students. Especially at centers of higher education, scholars conduct research that leads to discoveries and changes our way of life.

      How a school runs is important to the education you will get at it. If a schools environment and culture is not accepting to you or someone else, it can create a hostile learning experience. Since culture for each college or university is different, you have to pick one that will align with personal goals and feelings to have a productive educational environment. It’s a privilege to be able to get schooling but it also is a privilege to teach the next generation of the world since we will grow to set the standards of future culture.

    2. Traditionally, men bring wealth and power to the marriage marketplace, and women bring beauty. The importance of beauty in this traditional system explains women’s longstanding concern with their appearance and sensitivity about revealing their age. But as women have joined the labor force, they have become less dependent on men to support them, and so the terms of exchange for women and men are becoming more similar.

      I think this highlights how society has changed in gender roles and progressed for women. Women used to have to depend on their male counterpart and hope they would provide and be there. However, women now don’t need to do that and we are straying farther away from traditional gender roles into a place of more equality in the family life.
