Topic Discussion Article: Japan Has a New Name for the Mating Game: Konkatsu<--- Click Me (文章)
Questions for Discussion:
Session 1
1. Have you ever heard of the expression "konkatsu (marriage hunting)"? After reading the article, what's your take on it so far?
2. Do you have more happily married friends or more unhappily married ones? Is marriage really the tomb of love? Why or why not?
3. Experts say that in tough times, single women feel an urgency to get married for financial stability, while men tend to put off marriage until they feel they can afford it. From your point of view as a woman or man, do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
Session 2
4. Why has this new fad occurred? What are some of its advantages and disadvantages that you can think of? Are there some details the participators should be attentive to?
5. Generally speaking, nowadays many young adults enjoy dating quite a few different people before choosing one to marry. Is this a good or bad thing?
6. Do you believe there is a chemical response of love (e.g., the weak in the knees feeling)? What role does it play in the marriage? If the chemical response disappeared in the marriage, what happen to it? What are some factors that may cause the spark to disappear?
