There are many reasons why this is an unlikely hit song and yet it found it's way to the top spot on the Country charts and gives no sign of leaving anytime soon. The song itself sounds more like an album cut than a hit; while the chorus has a beautiful payoff line at the end, it lacks the huge hooks and big emotional release that usually drives a song to #1. So let's see what it has that makes people want to hear it over and over.…

Gender is a concept society often challenges whether by males or females, living up to traditional ideas causes constrictions to the individual. “The Altar of the Family” written by Michael Wilding suggests that conforming to traditional ideas or stereotypes provides constrictions to an individual’s beliefs. The author uses third person narrative in order to position the reader. Characterisation invites the reader to be critical of the father’s perspective on masculinity. Figurative language emphasises the opposing ideas of masculinity and setting described in the text produces different environments in which diverse ideas of gender are challenged.…
Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that relate humanity to spirituality and sometimes, to moral values (Talal, 1982). Religions most notably are represented by symbols, stories, traditions or anything that tends to explain the meaning of life or the creation of earth and its beings. Each religion has its take on morality, ethics, religious laws, and lifestyle. Many religions have determined behaviors which include meetings or worship services. During these services they are worshipping their deity or praying to him or her. In observing religion, you may also see other services that members may be involved in which include sacrifices, revivals, feasts or dinners, initiations, funerals, marriage ceremonies, meditations, music, dances, and art.…

Religion has provided for a universal language and culture among those who believe in a higher power. The spirit or being receiving the worship and praise may not be the same, but the practices are usually similar and serve the same purpose--to give direction, insight, courage, and a divine connection.…
Through ‘This Blessed House’, Lahiri explored both the complications of an arranged marriage and the adjustment that must be made to accommodate a couple’s disparate cultural background within marriage. Twinkle and Sanjeev, were brought together under their parents’ arrangement. Sanjeev was charmed by Twinkle’s vigour, beauty and social statue, thinking ‘what was there not to love?’ for such a perfect wife. As their marriage moved on he came to realisation that marriage was not just a fleeting sense of happiness within love, but instead, involving finding equilibrium of family harmony and diversification of culture and characteristics. To Sanjeev, Twinkle should be a traditional Indian woman who would ‘sweep the attic and unpacking the boxes’ rather than ‘talking to one of her girlfriends in California even though the long-distance rates were at their peak’. Whereas for Twinkle, she was a second- generation Indian American who was not restrained by her original identity, she had a open mind ready to accept anything outside of her religion of Hindu, she valued ‘every day was a treasure-hunt’, and insisted to put the Christian paraphernalia in the garden. This had sparkled an argument between Sanjeev and Twinkle as he believed this act was prohibited in Hindu, ultimately Twinkle’s crying provoked Sanjeev’s protective reaction and compassion, resulting the compromise they reached. It…
