Marriage is outdated. Argue for or against this argument.
With the development of society, more and more people realize that marriage is not the only way leads to a happy life. Searching from the internet, I found that according to national and European data, the number of weddings has fallen to historical lows in French and Spain. therefore, we bring up the question: is marriage outdated now in our society? I will arrange it in two parts.
Some people assume that marriage is a way to protect their right. If they live with their lovers without marriage, they don’t feel secure. Someone also needs a companion. They have to release pressure by talking with others and getting comfortable.
However, others disagree with it. Just like Sheldon Cooper saying in the big bang theory ‘the need to find another human being to share one’s life with has always puzzled me. Maybe because I’m so interesting all by myself’ the feeling of safety is given by ourselves. When people meet the difficulty, they feel an animal panic to run and ride, they feel alone and helpless. We change our mind to solve the problem in our own hands. The more knowledge we absorb the stronger we become. We could deal with all the problems, even we could take times to help others.
Furthermore, heavy school life and busy work prevent us from falling in love. Many students are very enthusiastic to pursue their studies after obtaining their first degree. After graduating, they are looking forward to enjoying their life. Single life is not regarded as suffering. No marriage, no constraint. They could have parties with friends at midnight, go for a trip wherever they expect. Somebody doesn’t agree with it. Nevertheless, there is no denying that we have to take into account the feelings of the companion.
Besides, from a point of view of culture, many couples live a happy life together without marriage. As we all know, in some western country like French, couples could sign a PACS contract. Marriage is not the only witness of our life. Some married couples live an unhappy life and then break up. However, some unmarried couple lives a happy life.
I think with the development of the economy and culture,our thought is advancing. Marriage is neither a stage of life that everyone must experience nor a task everyone must complete. When we finally find true love, it is love that makes sense, not the witness of marriage. Marriage is like everything else, they are only the options of life. It’s you who chose to get married or not.

a decription of a movie poster
First, I will analyse picture elements, there are two people sitting on both sides of a brown fabric sofa, which looks so old. They have different positions. We could image there is an axle wire in the middle of the picture. Young girl with curly blond hair sits on the left of the sofa. She sits cross-legged and turns to the woman on her right, she holds on a video recorder with her right hand, her legs are regarded as magnificent support for her camera. Although we could only watch half of her face, we observe her facial expression that she is happy and curious enough to shot several chips. Her navy blue striped shirt is a symbol of French. An old woman holds a cat in her arms sitting on the right side of the sofa. Her clothes are out-of-date. A black vest is on the outside of a dark-red sweater. She looks straightly to viewers. She wears serious faces, which give us the pressure felt. As if she is judging us why we look at her. Conversely, the cat in her arm is peaceful who closes its eyes and takes a short rest with a comfortable position.
I’d like to point out that the differences between them are obvious. As the sofa is combined with two parts. On the one hand, there is a thin young girl with a smile; on the other hand, there is a fat old woman with a serious expression. Furthermore, the color of the left side is vivid, the young girl represents the hope of life; the color of the right side is dull, the old woman stands out greatly the loss of hope.
Moreover, a huge bookcase stands in the background. However, instead of a real bookcase, this is a viral one drawn by an artist. What’s more, these viral books are dancing in the air. The comparison is meaningful, reality and virtually, real and false. At the top of the poster, capital letters in deep red attract us immediately. I chose the French version so the film title is <le hérisson> which means the hedgehog in English. Other red letters tell us this is the film of Josiane Balasko and the film is adapted from a book whose name is < élégance du hérisson>
Finally, I’ve chosen this poster because it means to me a lot. The hedgehog is prickly all over, but who knows perhaps they have a warm heart inside just like the actress, a door woman, who looks banal and out of date. However, she has deep thoughts and reads books as much as she could. From my perspective, we can’t judge a person by outward appearance, and we should pursue living a meaningful life.
