1. What is Roark’s relationship with his employees like? Roark’s relationship with his employees was fair. There were not many conflicts between Roark and his employees because they worked as if everybody else did not exist. From an employee’s perspective, Roark looked cold and unemotional. However, looking at the fact that employees were “loyal” to Roark, employees probably had some empathy with Roark. Also, when Roark saw employee’s progress or their creativity, he did not openly show his satisfaction toward employees but made a “compliment debt” instead. 2.

3. According to Ellsworth Toohey, why can a humanitarian never indulge in personal love? In Toohey’s conversation with Keating, Toohey mentions the reason to never indulge in personal love. Toohey believed that personal love is a euphemism of “discrimination” or “preference” towards a person. With prejudice towards people, human equality will be impossible to accomplish.

Ever since the beginning of time, love has played an enormous role among humans. Everyone feels a need to love and to be loved. Some attempt to fill this yearning with activities and possessions that will not satisfy – with activities in which they should not participate and possessions they should not own. In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” the speaker encounters an emotion some would call love but fits better under the designation of lust for a woman. 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
Society expects people to fall in love. That is, society expects people to find a life partner, get married, and have children. Those who do not follow the pattern are generally seen as hermits who sit in their houses with multiple forms of pets to keep them company. This burden life throws at human beings growing up, turns into a moral value. People want to find someone that makes them so happy that their heart hurts when they’re not with them. This would be the case if one does actually fall in love. Love can be a wonderful thing. However, sometimes it can be a devastatingly evil form of torture. Even though it is expected to make one feel content and comforted, love can make anyone feel more alone than ever before. Love is presumed to

The council only wants 100 babies born every year so therefore there could not be anyone falling in love with someone. There is also a rule that no one can ever be alone because the council does not want anyone to be individualized. The council doesn’t want anyone to be individualized because that makes that one person
Fredrickson’s entire basis for what love is, is that it is “positivity resonance”, and any sense of negativity is not part of that definition. Fredrickson states, “As you interact with one person after another, they gently nudge you to attend to these others more closely and forge connections when possible. They shape your motives and behaviors in subtle ways, yet ultimately, their actions serve to strengthen your relationships and knit you in closer to the social fabric of life,” (Fredrickson 110). The usage of positive language like strengthen and knit, along with the idea of forging connections, is indicative of what she is trying to say when it comes to what positivity resonance is, that the interactions between individuals should have positive benefits that will make their lives better. Fredrickson understands that love should be a valuable bond, shown both in her definition of love, and how it’s explained using science. However, the cadets in The Citadel do not seem to gain anything valuable from their interactions, at least at first glance. Faludi uses the school to show how a rigid environment with a power structure can lead to the abusive acts between the students.

The result is a ruthless intimacy, in which physical abuse stands in for physical affection, and every display of affection must

The ability to love is possibly one of the most recurring aspects of humanity. Everyday people fall in and out of love with each other 's personalities, opinions and lifestyle choices. In his novel 1984, George Orwell depicts a dystopian, loveless society. The technology, newspeak, and doublethink force conformity on Oceania, the setting of the book. The lack of diversity in people creates a world, where there isn’t any reason to love anyone else. Family relationships that were formerly built with love, support, and loyalty are ripped away and replaced with distrust, anxiety and hostility. Sexual relationships no longer have love or pleasure, which makes them mean virtually nothing, except the hope of
