We Can Love Too

Have anybody came up to you and said to you that romance is dead? Not true. Millions of people still believe in romance. Even people who think that they don't, they do.

I could see her face trying not to laugh at my accent, I never felt so embarrassed in my whole life, but at least she did not ignore me, she replied with a smile and said “yes”. Well what a great start to my day, as I walked into the building I saw a seemingly endless line to nowhere, but as I got in line a person tapped my shoulder. I immediately turned around thinking it was the girl again, however, it was just another student, he was a tall guy, however, he did not look like he played sports, he was really scrawny, and with a surprised look at his

Aziz Ansari published his first book Modern Romance, on June 16, 2015, where he teamed up with notable sociologists to uncover the mysteries of the changing dating scene around the world. Ansari states that relationships have been evolving for the past century for reasons ranging from people having different wants and desires to more advanced technology. These developments have revitalized the dating culture, but simultaneously have also made it very complex. Ansari’s reason for writing this book was that he was “fascinated by the questions of how and why so many people have become so perplexed by the challenge of doing something that people have always done quite efficiently: finding romance” (Ansari 6). In the book, he dives into the

David wanted Stephen to come with him and Haley asked me to ride to the airport with them so she didn't have to drive home by herself. Now, dating was not on either of our minds, but I do remember thinking, "wow, that David Hiley really cares about people." Despite me making no efforts to talk, I remember him just asking about my life and being friendly. After Haley and I dropped them off, I remember Haley making a comment about how David and I would make a good couple. I remember laughing and telling her she is

Modern Romance, by Aziz Ansari, is absolutely a relevant study for this project. This is because of its relationship to new media, which relates to the course, and dating, which relates to all of society. The book applies to the course in several ways; first, the overall theme of the book relates to people in younger generations becoming more and more reliant on social media and dating websites to try and find love. Ansari delves deep into different aspects of media used in dating, as well as putting in serious research on social sciences to to analyze the cultural impact of new media, which is reaches much farther than one might think. There are several concepts we have learned in this course that relate to the book, including the units

It was the last last few days of summer before I started my Sophomore year of high school. My freshman year I applied and ran to be Sophomore class president, and I won. Before the start of school SGA (Student Government Association) had the responsibility to welcome and show new students around the school. While showing and bonding with new students I meet two new sophomores students named Ethan and Olivia. Ethan was a very attractive young man who was six feet and had nice dark hair, that was swooped to the right. Olivia on the other hand was a very short and pale girl who had orange hair that was very thin. Olivia and I both found Ethan to be attractive, Olivia made it known to me that she liked Ethan. It was the first day of school and

They chose a table towards the front. Their table was right in front of the T.V. Their table was also right in front of the cashier station. Alison had mentioned that the guy on the corner looked like he was from the band. She said she remembered that he was in the band, because he looked like a leprechaun. He was very short and had red hair. We all went back contemplating if Scotty McCreery was there. This guy had on jeans, gray roshes, and a hat. We couldn’t see his face, because his back was to us. So Alison and Ashley decided to go to the bathroom to get a look at his face.They soon returned, and they were for sure it was him. Everyone else out in the patio including the waitress didn’t notice him. We were all sitting their with our stomachs turning with butterflies, our hearts pounding out of our chests, and knees knocking with nerves. My mom decided that once the other table left she would go say something. The other table soon left within 15 minutes. My mom waited until they were done eating, so she wouldn’t interrupt them. My mom got up and walked over to him. She stood next to him and said “ You had a great show tonight. Would you say hi to my girls behind you?” He turned around and said in his country accent “ Hey

I consider Kevin a close friend after all he’s been my brother’s best friend since 6th grade, so I’ve hung out with plenty of times. This weekend wasn’t going to be much different, or so I thought. We arrived at Kevin’s house, everything seemed normal, my brother calls Kevin to inform him that we are at his house and to come out. Kevin was on his way to the car but something was wrong he wasn’t excited as he always was. He didn’t say anything as he entered the car, the car was immediately filled with a dead silence, my brothers jokingly asked Kevin, “what’s wrong you got Sara pregnant”, Kevin mumbles” nah man I wish it was that, its Brian, he hasn’t been home in two days. Kevin begins to explain to us how Brian went to hang out with his friends and they went to City Park late at night and he hadn’t been home since. Brians phone was off and one of the

To begin the article, the author begins what one may call a rant. Discussing their inner thoughts of what they view as modern day romance. He exaggerates how the people in today's society can never seem to commit. There is a mindset that there is always something better out there for us and the idea of the new age ‘romance’ is not romance at all. To the new generation we believe that love is a long paragraph text message, or a snapchat from our significant other. There is so much of a dependence of

We were at Stanhope Day 2013. I decided to go with my brother to meet two of his friends that I had heard of but never met. As soon as I met the two girls, I knew I would get along with Kelsey. She was so much like me. She was friendly, shy and nice. Anna was more outgoing. I didn’t mind she was fun to be around. After a few hours we decided that we wanted to get something to eat. We didn’t want anything they had at the event so we went to find somewhere else.

2.Description of the event: A couple of weeks ago, I met with a young woman at the church coffee lab. She was sitting all by herself on one of the single round tables that have only two high chairs. Since it is my motive to talk to all people, whether I have not met them before or who I might know a little, I greeted her and asked if I could sit down and talk with her. She expressed happiness and approval and mentioned that she really appreciated me talking to her the last time we met with each other. I initiated the conversation and she said that she had a

Throughout his book Modern Romance, Aziz Ansari the author develops and explains concepts that are involved in romantic relationships. In his arguments he describes certain points that explain how romances were modernized with the advancement of the technology. The growth of technology has created new sources of communication like for example socials networks and other websites in the internet that allow people to have an easier search to find a partner when they are looking for one. One of the biggest arguments that author talks about is when he describes how technology has played an important role in romantic relationships. The use of technology that exists in the present day has become excessive and it is a good argument to discuss in the essay. Up to today the online services and socials networking sites have become important factor s in the search for that “perfect someone” that people want to share the rest of our lives with, but at the same time it becomes a dangerous weapon that disappoints, lies and destroys romantic relationships. It’s not really that technology influences bad things; but it is more up to the responsibility of people and the purpose they use it for. The fact that the technology has become a very helpful tool to date someone is something very common to do nowadays but also it is dangerous because people do not really know who they are talking to or who is behind the computers monitors. Although

Now fast forward to June of 2013. I’m on my way to, of all places, a track meet. I’m at a stop light and someone pulls on side of me. I look and I see Sharita. Not knowing it’s Sharita, I think it’s Shanita, so I’m sitting there smiling and waving and she kinds of look at me with this crazy smile on her face as she politely

We would highly recommend this movie to others as it was very educational, but also very enjoyable at the same time. We all had a good experience and learned a lot about women’s rights issues of the past that many women can still

The following can lead to difficulty because, in a sense, people of today are inclined towards an ideal view of romance. People are blinded by what they see in the media and relate whatever
