The universality of marriage within different societies and culture is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions.

V alentine’s Day occurs every February 14. Across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and where did these traditions come from? We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month romance, and that St. Valentine’s day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.           The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

When we talk to the public in society they speak positive things about women but when times come they criticise the women’s very cheap way. Different people with different mindset can be found in our society.  The progress of society in regard to women:  Men are superior and women inferior.  Women going out are unsafe .
