Every woman needs to adapt in her life in order to survive. All the more so in societies where women are expected to leave their parents home and go to their in-laws and stay with them forever…have we ever thought how much of an adaptation that is!

in this world we need all to adapt to the given environment. when we go to different places we need to respect and adapt the ways of life they are having. in different people with different nationality and environment and the weather system, we need to adapt in order to live and have a normal lives. like men and women need to respect, understand and adapt to their surroundings and to every people they may have meet and to every living organisms in this planet.
thanks friend

I find it important, yes. People that have trouble adapting to new things and situations usually have a bit more difficulty than the ones who don't.
This doesn't mean that we have to let go of our views/opinions/values and adopt others just to conform. Just that it is important to be open and not fear change.
Sometimes however, people do tend to adapt for the wrong reasons which is not that positive either.( personally I know I used to try to adapt/change myself to make everyone happy and to like me. This due to my own background of being adopted. I felt that I needed to be what others wanted me to be so I could be accepted) But slowly in time I learned that I didn't need to do that.
I have also adapted to new work environments easily, which is a plus, and certainly not negative.

Yes, I live in a swamp, didn't live in one when I was younger. Now I wear an outfit that is basically masquito netting called a bug baffler and we have a screened in porch.The bugs are bad here from June through Sept. I guess that is the way I have adopted.

I suppose you could say I have adapted. I haven't been able to find a job in well over a year so my kids are on Medicaid, so am I, I get food stamps and I'm getting disability for my son. If I had a job I wouldn't have applied for the disability. And I'm planning on going back to school....

Hello ajithlal. It is true indeed that we need to adapt ourselves to various environment to survive. Once we are in a new environment, we must make some adjustments to make ourselves adaptable to the new one. The saying "survival of the fittest" best describes the relationship between the living creatures and the environment. Thanks for the discussion, friend.
