Read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by chinua achebe. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. the discussion thus tending to become theological, madubogwu, a highly practical man, brought it down once more to the ordinary level. "have you thought of consulting a native doctor about your son? ” he asked nnaemeka’s father. "he isn’t sick,” was the reply. "what is he then? the boy’s mind is diseased and only a good herbalist can bring him back to his right senses. the medicine he requires is amalile, the same that women apply with success to recapture their husbands’ straying affection.” "madubogwu is right,” said another gentleman. "this thing calls for medicine.” "i shall not call in a native doctor.” nnaemeka’s father was known to be obstinately ahead of his more superstitious neighbours in these matters. "i will not be another mrs. ochuba. if my son wants to kill himself let him do it with his own hands. it is not for me to him.” which statement best describes the cultural divide that this passage illustrates?
