At first they believe that there is something wrong with them or that they are interested in cheating on their partners. After doing some research they find that there are others like them, and that they are not as abnormal as they originally thought. They discover that there are more people out there like them, and that it is possible to enter into multiple, honest relationships (Barker, 2005). More people might be interested in polyamorous relationships if they were not afraid of the repercussions placed on them by society. People are afraid of ideas that go against cultural norms, and nonmonogamous relationships definitely push the boundaries. They might view polyamorous relationships as more realistic for their lifestyles and how they feel about relationships, but are too afraid to enter into a polyamorous relationship because they are pressured by their culture to participate in exclusive relationships.

While some of television’s airtime is given to assertive, independent-career women and nurturing, domesticated men, many primetime shows have left men and women in traditional stereotypical roles. It began in the 1950s through the 1970s. Men were portrayed as masculine, intelligent, and all knowing. Women were portrayed as stay at home moms, who cook and clean. Women’s responses to the men are, “Yes Dear” or “Coming Dear.”

A recent issue is that television programs have recently received a lot of negative attention due to their unrealistic representation of the experience of dating. The essay will be arguing about the comparison of what the media portrays dating is like, and what a healthy relationship is like.

In today’s high schools, everything seems to revolve around having a boyfriend or girlfriend. Too many are teenagers getting caught up in the drama of the dating world and forgetting to focus on their futures. The distraction of relationship drama causes teenagers to focus less on things like school. This in turn will cause their grades to suffer. Lower grades mean a smaller chance of getting accepted into colleges, or receiving scholarships. Another problem is the emotional impacts of an ugly breakup. Impacts are long lasting at any age, but especially so in high school. This is because students are still developing. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that affected teens
