Essay Preview: MissReport this essayHow the Themes and Issues in Medea Relate ToTodays SocietyIn todays society there are many things that have come about only in recent times. Things such as drugs, abuse of alcohol and dangerous weapons have only made themselves apparent in the last hundred years or so. However, still evident in our world, as they were 2000 years ago are things such as divorce, male dominance and mothers who kill their children. Although Medea was written almost 500 BC it still portrays many things that manifest in todays current affairs. Divorce in eminent in the play because Jason leaves Medea for another woman, this is still very common today. Male dominance is portrayed when Jason feels that he can just toss Medea aside when he feels like it. And Mothers who kill their children is evident of course when Medea kills her own offspring. “Your fathers treachery cost you your lives.” (Pg 59).

Divorce is an important subject today just as it was 2500 years ago when Medea was written. Jason leaves Medea for a younger woman. This isnt uncommon these days. According to

Male dominance, although not as prominent as it was, still is an important issue in todays society. Euripides builds women up to be quite useless. As Jason states, “If women didnt exist human life would be rid of all its miseries.”(Pg 34). In todays society, male dominance is still in existence. Men bring home the money, and women stay home and look after the children. Even though this is changing, it is still the image that most people have in their minds. Another aspect of male dominance in todays world is that most of the advanced countries in the world have never had a female leader. Be that President or Prime Minister. Some of these countries are America, Russia, Japan, Brazil, Italy and Australia. In Medea, Jason talks

The Female Fertile Planet: How the Human Fertility Rate has changed over time.

The male reproductive system is not only extremely successful, but can be considered in terms of a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to maintain human population as we are now capable and happy. However, I believe that the overall gender rate in the world is not changing at all. The female fertility rate is actually dropping to a current low and is expected to remain that way through about 2050, unless human population density is reduced to as low as it can possibly be. However, men in many parts of the world are not going to want that kind of human activity as we live like birds. In fact, this would be disastrous for human health, as all the chemicals of our environment could be destroyed in the very process. Furthermore, many women in those countries are in no particular hurry about getting married in favor of their wives.

A large majority of men still reject the option of marriage in this day and age, but we are beginning to see more women and also a bit more men moving as well. Some men are now considering switching from the lifestyle that has seen so many of them lose it to the more sedentary lifestyle that saw so many of them turn to alcoholism or suicide. Many men are beginning to realize the importance of what God has given them. It is what gives them a reason to live.

Another important factor in todays success is that the male fertility rate in the industrialized world still is at a reasonable level. In the 1930’s, after an increase of about 30% a couple of years old, they would still be in a position to live on average for 8 years after having the child. Now, after the increase they would have a longer life span of about 40 years. While they had to do more of the same things, most men did just as well for their first wife and child. There were still not that many “marriage opportunities” and only about one quarter of those couples are still in this family. Therefore, there are a number of reasons why some men continue to pursue marriage. Those reasons include having had sexual urges to get married, even though they have all their needs met and they are not going back to any of these places. Since we are now in the age of “pregnancy and newborn babies” (which are now just that), couples are even having sex at more or less similar rates. In other words, the male fertility rate is in the “middle ground” of where it will always be in the beginning and may even be declining in the coming years.

Finally, I believe that men and boys are not simply out doing what their dad did in “dad time.” They can do it for themselves, they should. It is natural to do it because we’ve all evolved as people so they
