When presented with the task of writing a weekly blog about a topic of my choice I did not immediately think of writing a blog about polygamy. I am certainly not obsessed with the topic nor do I adamantly support those who choose to live a polygamist lifestyle. Believe it or not, the topic of polygamy is not one that I frequently think about or on which I have a serious and informed opinion. However, I believe that through this blogging experience I will have the opportunity to inform not only myself but also my readers about all sides of this subject.
I find that when the topic does cross my mind (even thought it is infrequently) it somewhat confusing. Because the concept of having multiple wives goes against anything I have ever been told to believe, I am very curious to learn about why other people find it not only acceptable but also encourage it. Typically I, along with the rest of the general population, associate the act with the Mormon religion, but I am sure there are other cultures/religions that support it as well. I would also like to investigate what cultures/religions/regions believe in polygamy and if it is something that is/was/or ever will be universally acceptable. I would like to present arguments by both those for and against the act. I think that overall this blog will be an excellent way to present different opinions about the subject while also developing my own personal one. I look forward to what the upcoming weeks have in store!
