Love, love, love; the only thing everybody talks about. Every movie, every series, every story talks about how two people fall in love and live happily ever after. All stories get to the conclusion that the love the couple shared was unique and that the two lovers matched perfectly together. But what happens when two lovers do not belong to the same social class? What happens when they don’t share common things they like? Are they not meant to be? “In love everything is possible”, someone once said. When someone is in love, he/she would make everything that he/she cans to make his/her lover happy and

David Maybury-Lewis gives us viewers some insight on romantic love, being in love and just plain old love.

Death is all around us. It is as natural as living and occurs in different ways. Death is viewed differently throughout American society. The way it is handled is based on the situation.

This show represents a type of “love” that is called pseudo love, which is defined according to Mickel and Hall (2008). Pseudo love is loving without depth. It is surface love. Mickel and Hall state the idea, “I love you only so long as you make me feel good. The moment you make me feel bad or unhappy, I question my love for you” (2008, pg. 31).

The Bachelor is promoting pseudo love within society. Pseudo love presents the false expectancy that love is the answer to all problems. The
