However, as he continues to perform with the patients finds for himself that love is most definitely imperative for humans. Love is one of the main themes of ‘Cosi’. The play suggests many different aspects of love by giving us the different opinions of love from the main characters. Ultimately throughout the play the changed values that Lewis has on love, the faith that Cherry has towards Lewis and the loyalty that Julie displays towards her lover shapes Nowra’s views on love.

In both instances the parties involved have the ability to lose their sense of reality. The styles of love that have been most prevalent in my life are logical love called pragma, and friendship love called storge or philia. A love that develops from a friendship usually prevents a lot of disappointments because you already know a lot about that person.
Outline and evaluate one or more theories of the formation of romantic relationships. (9+16) 25 Marks. The reward/need satisfaction theory says that there are negative and positive stimuli in our lives, we repeat behaviours which produce positive stimuli and avoid negative stimuli (operant conditioning). Similarly, attraction through association links on from rewards and punishments, but follows the basis of classical conditioning. We are more likely to form a relationship with those people who are associated with pleasant event e.g.
Through a comparison of how the authors depict this theme the responder gains an insight into the different human experiences of each time and the composers. In both texts the two protagonists search for the platonic form of the universal desire of love; however love is undoubtable transformed by their respective contexts which are why the texts offer an insight into two different human experiences. The persona in the sonnet sequence figuratively speaking wishes to be loved ‘for loves sake only’. Similarly Jay Gatsby metaphorically seeks a love that ‘went beyond her artificial world’. Although the two protagonists both idealised and sought a platonic love, because of the historical context of 1850’s England and 1920’s America experienced by the composers, it was only possible for the persona in the sonnets to achieve this while Gatsby couldn’t realise his ideal; this is reflective of the composers themselves.
In contrast, the speaker of Robert Herrick’s poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” urges virgins to marry, to make a lasting commitment in which love plays a vital role. Comparing these poems reveals differences between love and lust. Despite the contrasting depictions of love and lust, both poets portray the underlying theme of carpe diem which means “seize the day”. Carpe Diem means that time should not be wasted and that you should make the most out of time. As a result, both poems focus on the theme of taking advantage of one's youth, they are both written from a male's perspective in trying to get his lover to take advantage of her youth before she loses it.
Cosi The particular aspect of love that is the focus of the play is fidelity; the notion of faithfulness, commitment and loyalty. The play explores many aspects of love, the characters present slightly different perspectives, some final about their positions from the start and others change or develop differing perspectives. This concept is explored through the individual characters Lucy and Lewis. Using the technique of characterisation, Nowra is able to present the idea of ‘free love’ negatively to the audience through the character Lucy. Who strongly endorses the idea that love is an indulgence, “After bread, shelter, equality, health, procreation, money comes maybe love” .
Power of Love and Relationships Many aspects of one’s life can be seen through the connections between our loved ones and friends. Factors can contribute to how and why we may seek certain individuals, but not others. This paper will discuss in detail the factors of attraction, the reasoning behind the sense of belonging, and love into three types: companionate, passionate, and compassionate. Furthermore, depict Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love between romantic love, from empty love or infatuation. We may encounter numerous types of individuals throughout the day.
This article has to do with social psychology, specifically with Robert Sternberg's theory of love. The three components of love in Sternberg's theory appear as main points in many ,if not all, of Epstein's love building exercises as well as in the many studies of intimacy and relationship. In the article, they also talk about aspects of the rules of attraction. This are very important as well since how we start a relationship can also determine how the relationship will be in the future. He explains this with several examples such as how sometimes we only pick partners because of how physically attracted we are to them, an this may set us up to failure.
Article Critique: Talking Styles Anecia Hills Com 200 Interpersonal Communication Prof. Kristy Nelson February 13, 2012 Article Critique: Talking Styles Forming an opinion from Bruce Bower’s article “Shared Talking Styles Herald New and Lasting Romance,” it makes sense that people who “click” conversationally would have a better chance at a lasting relationship. The author has supported most of his ideas with a study led by Molly Ireland and James Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin. Bower suggests that similarity in the usage of functions words such as pronouns, articles, conjunctions, prepositions and negations are representative of how drawn individuals are to each other (Bower, 2010). The studies shown from the article listed above and the scores I received from the “Language Style Matching” website concede in making this article relevant to my own opinions on whether or not it is supposed matching talking styles that ignite long-lasting interactions between two people. As a result of the way you choose and arrange your words and sentences, style is formed.
Are emotions universal, or are they socially constructed? Emotions are an experience of disgust, happiness, sadness, fear, anger and surprise that helps us form and engage our relationships (Dacher, Oatley, & Jenkins, 2013). These six basic emotions are universal because they are expressed in all cultures, but the reactions to these emotions are socially constructed. Boiger and Mesquita (2012) claimed that most of the emotions happen in the contexts of relationships and social interactions. When the emotions are socially constructed, we are stating that, due to different cultures the communications of emotions are different, because diverse cultures have different facial expressions, and different nonverbal behaviour for these emotions.
