Thesis 3: In arranged marriage, there is a high risk that you might not like the person, your parents or matchmakers chose for you.
Thesis 4: Interreacting with different people from different countries, can make you look at their point of view, learn new things, and socializing is also part of your life you need and do everyday. There might be less diversity between people from different background and less racism.

RJA #9a: Thesis Statement
Research Question: Love vs Arranged Marriage: Having an arranged marriage really better than love marriage?
Thesis: Research shows that an arranged marriage have less divorce rate, and save marraiges than love marriage, because it takes time and consideration for the parents and matchmakers to decide who is right for you. But that is taking away your rights. People wants to be with someone they love and be comfortable with, and not some stranger that someone else chose for you. Interreacting with other people, is also part of life that people needs to learn and also by talking to people with different background, you can learn alot and there will be less diversity between different races. With that, love marriage is much better than arranged marriage.
