The purpose of the research is to identify the trends of university youth towards
civil marriage, and to know the extent of the influence of some factors such as education
and the presence of civil marriage cases within the large family in the acce
ptance of young
people to the idea of associating a life partner from outside their religion or doctrine. Did
legislation in both Christian and Islamic religions hindered this type of marriage? And to
what extent does the media play the role in accepting or rejecting the idea?
The researcher designed a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of 30 students
from the Department of Sociology at Tishreen University.
The results of the study show the following:
It was found that there is acceptance of the idea of civil marriage by a large part of
the sample studied but they prefer and encourage religious marriage, and that the education
and study at the university and the social environment play a large role in accepting this
type of marriage. It turns out that a large proportion of the sample find that the media plays
a large role in accepting the idea of civil marriage, and that religious legislation plays a
major role in the alienation of society from this kind of marriage.
Choosing the university Specialty is one of the most important decisions that a
student must take at the beginning of his university life, and the student faces a range of
difficulties that may affect the process of choosing the profession of the f
uture. This
research deals with some of the factors that may affect the student's choice of university
Specialty. The extent of these factors will be determined by selecting the following
hypotheses:
- There is a statistically significant relationship between parents' pressure, and the
inability of the student to choose the right university Specialty.
- There is a statistically significant relationship between the low economic level of
the family and the inability of the student to choose freely.
- There is a statistically significant relationship between the student’s age and his
inability to choose the university Specialty that suits him.
- There is a statistically significant relationship between the intervention of friends
and the inability to choose the appropriate Specialty.
- There is a statistically significant relationship between the freedom to choose
university major and academic excellence.
The researcher designed a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of fifty
students from the fourth – year students of the Department of Sociology at Tishreen
University.
The results of the research show the following:
The weakness of the role of the family such as the parents pressure, economic
aspect in the university major selecting process. I also shows the weakness of the role of
peers in the selection process, and it became clear that the young age of the student greatly
affects the process of selection of his Specialty, but that success and excellence is not
limited to those who choose their own specialty, A person may succeed and make his life a
success story as long as he has the will to do so.
