Lady or the Tiger... prereading

Write a brief response after reading the following....

There are still areas in the world where marriages are arranged. People do not get the CHOICE to marry whom they want to marry. They must marry the person their parents pick for them. It is often based on family honor, respect among community members, and financial security. In Afghanistan, women can't date men. Men seek women and approach their fathers for permission to wed. Until the wedding, men and women must spend their time in the company of their parents--they are not allowed to meet alone. In India, marriages are still arranged by the parents---often by the time they are toddlers.

Respond to this....(use a conversational tone).
