Singlism in Society

I need an explanation for this Social Science question to help me study.

1. Some researchers have argued that ‘singlism’(please read this article to get a better understanding of the concept: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-single/201809/singlism-how-serious-is-it-really) is prevalent in the US and around the world. What are your thoughts? Why might someone be afraid of being single? How are singles discriminated against in your culture? Does sex/gender and/or age have anything to do with it?

1. How does each of the three sociological paradigms view family and relationships? Which one do you agree with and why? Find a real-world example that supports the theory that you chose (this could be a newspaper article, scholarly journal, book, etc.) Include the citation for your source using APA formatting.
