Debating Same-Sex Marriage (Hardcover, New): John Corvino, Maggie Gallagher Debating Same-Sex Marriage (Hardcover, New)
John Corvino, Maggie Gallagher
R3,506 Discovery Miles 35 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As the uproar over the recent New York State law demonstrates, same-sex marriage is a perennial hot-button issue, certain to impact the 2012 election. Debating Same-Sex Marriage provides a useful roadmap to both sides of this contentious matter. Taking a "point/counterpoint" approach, John Corvino (a philosopher and a prominent gay advocate) and Maggie Gallagher (a nationally syndicated columnist and co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage) consider key questions about the institution itself: What is marriage for? Is marriage meant to be a gendered institution? Why is the state in the business of sanctioning marriage? Where do the needs of children fit in? Will legalization of same-sex marriage lead to legalization of polygamy? Corvino argues that society should support same-sex marriage because of its interest in supporting stable households for all its members, gay and straight alike. Gallagher argues that government recognition of same-sex unions as marriages will disconnect marriage from its key public mission furthering responsible procreation, while stigmatizing traditional views of sex, marriage and family as bigotry. Both agree that the issue deserves thoughtful, rigorous engagement.

The Fatherhood Movement - A Call to Action (Paperback, New): Wade F Horn, David Blankenhorn, Mitchell B. Pearlstein The Fatherhood Movement - A Call to Action (Paperback, New)

R1,352 Discovery Miles 13 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The fatherhood movement has established itself as the most innovative and effective response to the most daunting crisis facing American families. Written by the movement's founders, this indispensable book illustrates the movement's methods for reconnecting men with their children and restoring the fragile bonds that hold our society together. This book is the manifesto of the fatherhood movement, and it provides valuable insights into the historical, social, economic, and spiritual dimensions of the 'disappearance' of fathers from society. Reflecting the complex nature of this problem, the contributors include activists, politicians, public intellectuals, and academics from a broad range of disciplines. They not only identify the root causes of the widespread withdrawal of fathers from family life, but also offer specific remedies on the individual, local, and national levels. This is a timely and important contribution to a topic of growing concern to all Americans.

Promises to Keep - Decline and Renewal of Marriage in America (Paperback, New): David Popenoe, David Blankenhorn Promises to Keep - Decline and Renewal of Marriage in America (Paperback, New)
David Popenoe, David Blankenhorn; Contributions by David Blankenhorn, Don S. Browning, Moira Eastman, …
R1,066 Discovery Miles 10 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection of essays by prominent lawyers, theologians, social scientists, policy makers, and activists examines the reasons why the once treasured institution of marriage has been steadily displaced by a culture of divorce and unwed parenthood. Promises to Keep presents the full text of The Council on Families in America's 1995 investigation, Marriage in America: A Report to the Nation, and the contributors provide suggestions for marital resurrection to counteract trends that have created tragic hardships for children, generated poverty within families, and burdened us with insupportable social costs. Sponsored by The Institute for American Values.
