What rules dictate the behavior of men and women in relationships today?
Equality - Women and men having the same rights.


Law - No discrimination of gender or violation of behavior between or within genders.


Honesty & Respect - relationships being build on the truth. Respect given toward one another publicly and privately.





Name a situation in which the rules have been clearly violated? That is, what are things "nice girls" or "nice boys" just don't do?

"Nice boys" don't lie or make false promises to their woman/wife. Ex: A man lies to his woman/wife that he has a job and promises her a future, when he honestly does not hold a job position.





"Nice girls" do not cheat on their man/husband or use them for materialistic things. Ex: A woman marries a man for only his money.


Why do these rules exist? Do you think they apply locally or even just at your school? What are the possible consequences of breaking these rules?

• These rules exist to set standards and limits men and women can not cross in a relationship. Theres rules are constitutional and ethical. They apply not only in school, but everywhere in our society. They apply in business partnerships, marriages, relationships, and even employement. The consequences of breaking these rules can lead to jail sentence, trouble with legal matters, and a bad reputation.

Do you know if these rules are applicable to other cultures or are they totally different?

• The rules do apply to other cultures, but not all of them. Some cultures apply these rules by ethical standards, but may not apply them constitutionally. Other cultures do not apply these rules at all. For example, these rules apply to marriages in cultures. Honesty and respect is what holds a marriage together, no matter of what ethnicity. Men and women of Islam have legal inequality. For example, a man can marry up to four wives simutaneously, if he has ability to maintain them, while the female can not marry more than one man.

Think of scenes from ANY show/movie that adheres to these rules as well as shows/movies that violate these rules.

• In the movie, He's Not That Into You, a husband lies to his wife about smoking ciggarettes. Unfortunately for him, she acknowledges that he had been lying to her and she leaves him. The woman does not returnn to the marriage.
