The Basic Cell Of Social Life

Relationships play an important role in one's life. They are formed on the basis of love and understanding. Relationship helps various people in every aspect of life and assists them in being a better person. Such a relationship was found in the novel

Love is unique in its striking ability to be a driving force in dictating interpersonal relationships. It patterns behavior and orients individuals towards their distinct, unique attractions. According to Velleman, love penetrates deeper than one’s qualities; it extends to one’s rational will, or the essence of a person. To him, though love appears to have particularity, it is also a moral emotion. Kolodny subscribes to the relationship theory, asserting that an ongoing, interpersonal, and historical relationship with a relative is a part of the reason for love. In Kolodny’s view, the existence of the true self is irrelevant, as is the morality of love. Both Velleman and Kolodny disprove the quality theory; however, their perceptions of love and its morality differ. I believe that Kolodny is correct in his view that morality is irrelevant to love and that there must be factual reasons for love. Although it is enticing to believe that one is attracted to the essence of another, the essence is not motivation enough for love. The relationship theory takes into account the motivation needed to love a particular person from a historical, interpersonal, and ongoing perspective.

It doesn't matter what lies behind or before us, what matters is what lies within us. Self love is to believe in ourselves that we are valuable which  indirectly builds up from the independence and freedom we get from our family, culture and believe. The text shows Independence and self love which includes the following texts. The memoir “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls represents the struggles  the way  she overcome them in various self independent ways. The song “I ” by Kendrick Lumar represents the affection and self love towards oneself  and “The Other Family” by Himani Bennerji shows the complexity of a daughter who is struggling to achieve her own self love and independence. Firstly, childhood struggles and difficulties can be overcome if one loves them and they are passionate to achieve their goals and dreams. Secondly, our experience of the family can help to shape our independence and to halt our progress as we are reliable on them. Finally, accepting ourselves and investing in self love makes us capable to achieve something in life. By examining the impact of  struggles, family and acceptance, this essay will demonstrate that finding self love regardless of family status influence our perspectives on ourselves and what we are capable of achieving.

In “Love Medicine”, family is of major importance. Before the book even starts, there is

Love can be an amazing thing and it is often said that nothing compares to the bond between a mother and her child, yet before a study called “The nature of love” which is discussed in the book “Forty studies that changed psychology: Explorations into the history psychological research,” our society had a very different understand about what caused this bond (Hock, 2013). In the book the author Roger Hock explores many different influential studies but in the section called “Discovering Love,” he takes a closer look into this study and discusses its importance (Hock, 2013). The influence of this study can be found in many different types of literature such as contemporary articles like “Building your own family,” which was published in Scientific American Mind (2014). This article implicitly provides further understand of the “The nature of love” study results and shows active efforts to continue building on the original theoretical ideas in order to change our views about human development (Jacobson, 2014). Even in modern text books like Psychology: Eighth Edition, can we find traces of the importance of this study. Thus this study not only provided a tremendous contribution to the field of Psychology but also changed society by altering its views on child rearing all together.

Humanity experiences and shares different types of love because of its social nature, love that is synonymous with affection exist between likeminded and behavioral beings; brotherly love exists between siblings born to one mother or father o a combination of both. Although this definition is subjective, brotherly love extends beyond ones kinship to include persons whom you share same beliefs and values in life, in religious circles brotherly love is shown to members whom you share with same doctrines. The theme of brotherly love is illustrated in the story ‘Sonny’s Blues’ and ‘The Red Convertible’ using literary language and by use of stylistic devices amazingly. Both stories have brothers as protagonists. This paper illustrates the theme of brotherly love in the stories and gives relevant citations as examples.

A family consists of a couple key parts. First, the family plays an enormous role in one’s life by influencing the children. Due to the children

Hazan and Shaver (1987) proposed the theory that ”Romantic love is an attachment process.” (Hazan & Shaver, 1987), which the individual will experience differently depending on the attachment history that has been formed by the internal working models based on the social interaction with caretaker as an infant. According to Bowlby, these internal working models are essential for attachment patterns throughout life from childhood till adult love relationships (Fraley, 2010).

Dad and son, mom and daughter, and grandmother with her grandson. They lived together and no matter how rich or poor, beauty or ugliness, young or old. Their relation will never broke, and all those kinds of relationship connected together closely, make the family. In the two essays, “Putting Daddy On” and “ The Way to Rainy Mountain”. Both authors are talking about family relationship and both narrators are having a hard time dealing the family relations.

This book is suitable for children and appealing to them because it embraces the concept of family in an important, but sadly underrepresented way. The book does not focus on the typical father-son, mother-son, or even sibling-sibling relationship. Instead, it expands this framework to include an even older generation, the grandparents.

In this chapter, authors Jack and Judith Balswick, discuss the subject of expressing love, the level of intimacy found in it and the importance of it. As stated in the book, humans need to experience love verbally and physically from birth till death since the lack of it will create negative effects. Some of the effects from lack of physical affirmation were the assurance of being loveable, encouragement to have relationship bonding and marasmus. In the continuation of this chapter, some aspects of how helpful verbal expression of love, is made and the authors come to the conclusion that articulation of this feeling can help to accept emotions and get in touch with one’s self. At the same time, although face to face conversations

But at the same plane there are other love stories that are captivated in this eternal saga of love and present various subtle and intricate cases to understand the effect and reason of love, desire and lust in their lives. This understanding when connected; implemented and most importantly percolated in the lives of common people, gives a newer definition and meaning to the concept of love. In Orlando Furioso, apart from the central love story of Orlando and Angelica, there are developments of amorous relationships between Bradamante, who was a female Christian warrior and that of Ruggiero. The chemistry of this couple also enables the readers to set their explicit idea on love. Thus the paper revolves around the mere idea of love and how the feeling develops and evolves between two people with time, and how this very bond created between the two can also break if the trust and loyalty is not able to persist after a point of

Love is a powerful feeling; it makes you do crazy thing. Many people spend years trying to find it, others give up thinking they’ll never find it. Love has been defined as an intensive feeling of a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Of course, Love doesn 't have to romantic and/or sexual. People who are ace, as in asexual, aromantic and agender, can still be in relationships that are satisfying for them without the needs of a romantic relationship. Familial love is also non-romantic-sexual. However, in this paper, we will be talking about romantic-sexual love, what it is, and why I believe it’s so important to understand and experience.

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for their child”, Henry Ward Beecher. According to Goldberg and Carlson (762), parent child relationships are affected by age. Thus, had anyone told me that my mother loved me and that we would grow to become fond of each other as best of friends, I would not have believed them. During my late puberty and early teenage years, the relationship between my mother and I became highly strained. I perceived my mother as an antagonist and one without any consideration for me. As a child, I thought that my mother did not love me, because she did not behave in a manner that suited my opinion about parental love. I thought that she was antagonistic, a miser, quarrelsome, excessively curious and concerned. However, this perception has since changed with age, as I now think highly of her. I believe that she is a mentor, a meticulous spender, a great advisor as well as a loving, caring and responsible parent. Thus, this essay seeks to compare and contrast my opinion about my mother as a child and as an adult.

When discussing love, people generally think about the love between a husband and wife, or the love between a couple in a romantic partnership, and that is one type of love that I will be discussing. In addition to romantic love, there are other types of love also. There is the love we have for our children, our families, and also the love that we have for our friends. All of these types of love share some of the same attributes, however, they have differences also. In reading and researching different types of love, I have found that romantic love and friendship seem to be the most similar in nature, although they have differences, they share a lot of the same attributes. I found that friendship and romantic love tend to have more similarities than differences. In this paper I will examine romantic love and friendship. I will discuss the definitions of the two, and what elements each of these have. I will discuss the different theories of love, and I will compare and contrast the similarities and differences between romantic love and friendship.
