The bar graph illustrates the different special classes offered at an adult education center for men and women in the year 2009. The pie chart however, reveals the age brackets among the adult population involved in the curriculums and its corresponding percentages.
Overall, it is clear that female group outnumbered the male poupulation in majority of the courses. While the degree of participation among adults and their interest in special education were reflected on the age bracket which is clear that the older people were more involved than the younger age group.
According to the chart, most of the enrollees were women except for sculpture where the number of men was doubled as compared to women. In drama and language classes, the population of women were two times higher than men, which were at 20 and 40 respectively. Meanwhile in painting, men were less than 5 as compared to women who were 30 in number.
As per the age group, it is shown that participants ages 50 and over were almost half of the total population and consequently followed by the younger group at their 40's which was a little more than a quarter in ratio. This trend was clear that there were lesser participation from the younger population at 30's, 20's and age under, and had a respective rate of 16%, 11% and 5%.

In the past decades, same-sex relationships were already trending in society, now it is debatable whether to allow marriage in this kind of setup or simply stick to the accepted norms of the society. I am on the side of maintaining the social norms and there is no need for gay marriages, in this way we can preserve the existing morale.
People who are saying that gay marriages should be legalized and accepted by the community are proving that it is their right and it has to be respected. In the first place, respect and acceptance have long been given to such kind of partnership and should not be raised or questioned anymore. For me, marriage is sacred and it plays a great role in society, it is basically one of the foundations of every nation because it is where the family starts to form. If we allow same-sex marriage, it will be difficult to build the basic unit of our society because they are not capable of reproduction. Our population will surely decline and the balance can no longer be kept, although it can be a solution to the existing problem of overpopulation, it will eventually pose a great threat in the future when stabilization is at stake.
Furthermore, I fear that the values and morals of the upcoming generation will be stained if we allow same-sex marriage due to the fact that children must experience a normal family structure that has parents of a different gender. In my own perspective, a man, with his physical strength and wisdom, is more capable of leading and supporting a family, while the caring nature of a woman is an advantage for raising children. Therefore, young people must be given a chance to normal and happy family life.
In conclusion, same-sex relationships are not being judged in society, but keeping the social norms and standards in marriages must be observed for the betterment of future generations.
