Obedience to parents. This is a very sensitive but important concept in most cultures. It is addressed very differently in different cultures and in different families. How important is it to be obedient to your parents’ wishes in your family? Give examples of rules or customs that are expected to be followed and the consequences for not obeying them. Think about Nnameka and Okeke. What were Okeke’s expectations and what were the consequences? Write about an incident with you or another member of your family or a friend. Make a connection to “Marriage is a Private Affair.” How is your situation similar or different?
