In this article "Historically Incorrect Canoodling" Stephanie Coontz investigated how people today seperate sex from love. The olny thing they care about is having sex and not loving eachother instead.

The article tell what valentines day was thousands of years ago and how people changed it over the year. One thing that stood out was how back in the day boys would drwaw names from a jar and whom ever name they pick that will be their sexual partner for the rest of the year. 

I think that valentines day is supposed to be about love. I also believe that you should make love oto your partner on valentines day to express your love for eachother also. I also think that marriage is not that big of a deal. Some people have been together for more than ten years and still aren't married. If you get married it will cost for a divorce so its just better to stay boyfriend and girlfriend so you caneasily break the relationship off. Its not bad for people to go around and sleep with other people they don't love, they're just having fun and if they have no boyfriend and don't look forward to settling down anytime soon what do you expect them to do!

This article reminds me of the movie friends with benefits. It's two people who are friends and not in a relationship with anyone else so they just sleep with eachother and have no feelings afterwards.

In thsi article "The New Face Of America" Veronica M Majerol talks about how Hispanics, Black, Asian, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Alaska Native out number those of non-Hispanic whites now a days.

This article its includes facts and predictions from many people in the United States. Blackes who are reffered to as Minorities make up majority of the populatin in four states and Washingtion D.C.. Some cities that have more minorties than other races. For instance New York, Las Vegas, and Memphis. Reasearchers predicted that by 2050 there will be less whites in America. In Washington 65% of minorities  55%  are minorities Texas, 60% in New Mexico, 77% in Hawaii, and 60% in California.
There will be less whites because that race are having less children and blacks are having more so blacks will soon take over,

I believe having more minorities are good because there would be more opportunities for the other races to do things. For instance they could own their own business and get more jobs. Mostly all business are owned by white people today. We will become more known and people will care more about us because we have more power.

This article reminds me of my neighborhood because there are alot of blacks and other races. When whites come around they are very nervous because there are less of them there.
